How Do I Create a PayPal Sandbox Account?

When you are first getting started with accepting donations through PayPal, it isĀ useful to be able to test that everything works correctly without using live payments.

Enter the PayPal sandbox.Ā This is a tool designed to help developers and merchants test their integration with PayPal. We strongly recommend setting up an account and testing that everything works before launching your fundraising campaign.

Setting Up Your PayPal Developer Account

  1. Go toĀ http://developer.paypal.com/Ā and create an account or sign in if you already have one.Ā You can log in with your existing PayPal account.
  2. Once you have logged in, click onĀ theĀ DashboardĀ link in the page header.
  3. Next, clickĀ on theĀ AccountsĀ link in the sidebar menu (under theĀ SandboxĀ header).

Now, you need to set up at least two accounts: one merchant account and one buyer account. This allows you to act as both the business and the customer/donor in sandbox mode.

Weā€™ll set up theĀ Merchant accountĀ first.

  1. Click on theĀ Create AccountĀ button in the top right corner.
  2. On the next screen, select ā€œBusinessā€ for theĀ Account TypeĀ setting. Fill out the rest of the fields and click on theĀ Create AccountĀ button. Make a note of the email address and password youĀ used.

Now weā€™ll set up theĀ Buyer account.

  1. Click on theĀ Create AccountĀ button in the top right corner.
  2. On the next screen, select ā€œPersonalā€ for theĀ Account TypeĀ setting. Fill out the rest of the fields and click on theĀ Create AccountĀ button. Make a note of the email address and password youĀ used.
