    Hello,

    To use a paypal sandbox what I need to type in the Merchant ID field in Amember CP : the Merchant ID number, my normal paypal email or my Seller paypal email generated for the sandbox ?

    Thanks to you,
    Regards

    it doesn't work.
    there's something wrong but I can't find it.

    I have created a Seller test account in my Paypal sandbox, the random email generated is like that : Seller_12345678_biz@mydomain.com

    if I put this email in Amember CP in field Merchant ID (sandbox is set to yes)
    and if I try the payement process on my website when I'm redirected to paypal website, it say my email of seller is not valid...

    What can I do to see the process working ?

    I did use my real paypal seller emai,l but I use a sandbox buyer email. It works but the payment status stands as pending which I have to go in to the customer's account to click the complete box.
    Yes I think there is something missing along the line.

    Paypal Sandox ---- any follow up???

    This would be A BIG HELP to make sure things are set up right before trying to go live...

    ANY RESPONSE to this????

    I'm having the same problem... an error no matter what I put in for paypal sandox... (paypal_r .... not paypal_pro)

    There's a LOT of stuff to figure out here... and getting no answer to problems isn't helping

    thanks

    Well, to use paypal sandbox
    1. open a second browser tab
    2. Log into paypal sandbox
    3. Log into the paypal account of the test buyer (leave this window open)

    Back to the 1st tab/your site,
    1. Signup like normal and pay using paypal,
    using the sandbox email and password that you used above
