Can Paypal be tested?

PayPal is now available to be used within the Sage Pay test environment allowing you to test your integration and ensure that it is working smoothly without having to use a real live PayPal account.

In order to test a PayPal integration with Sage Pay, you will need to create an account at:

developer.PayPal.com.

If you are testing PayPal through the Direct integration, we may need  to manually add the payment type COMPLETE to your account (only applies if you you signed up with Sage Pay before 2010), if this is the case please e-mail us on support@sagepay.com requesting this.

This account will need 2 test accounts:

• one for a business user
• one for a test customer

The business account will need to be configured to grant API permission to the following API account:

ppdev_1256915571_biz_api1.sagepay.com
(Please note that this is different to the live API account)

The full process  on how to this up is described in the related article on "How do I set up PayPal Express Checkout"

NB: You will then need to log into your Test My Sage Pay area and add the userID which corresponds to the business user created above. You can then test the integration. During this process, you must remain logged into your developer.PayPal.com account. When prompted for customer details, the customer test user credentials created above must be used.
