How to test payments with PayPal? What is Sandbox mode? How to create a Sandbox account?
To test payments with PayPal, you will need to set PayPal to Sandbox mode in HBook > Payments. When the Sandbox is used, it processes fake payments with a fake PayPal store.
Sandbox API credentials are to be entered as you can not use the same API Credentials (Username, Password and Signature) for Live and Sandbox payments.
To obtain Sandbox API, you need to create a Sandbox account. It is free and can be done at developer.paypal.com.
