After messing around with this testing payment following your video I forgot to turn off the sandbox mode. 🤦♂️ 😂 That little toggle comes on whenever you go on the developer dashboard. All sorted now thanks for the video.
Other videos and articles are outdated and I was stuck with guess work specially merchant ID Thanks, can't believe you are still having so much less subscribers and views even after providing updated and to the point knowledge
Yes. Customers can pay on sandbox mode. If you are referring to how to have customers use live/real payments check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/qT87yfp3MLI/v-deo.html
Thank you so Much for thsi video! It helped me ALOT. After completed I then test check outs, CC/DC worked perfectly But when I test checkout with Payal (Pay via Paypal) instead I just have a swirling dot in a gray circle. How is it cc portion wk but not Pay with Paypal? Please help.and THANKS so MUCH for your great video! Rhonda
I have a question about the accounts that sandbox gives you by default. Do you have to go through a transaction with both accounts? or only the personal account? I'm doing it with the personal account and it's working, but not with the business account
You only have to go through a test transaction using the personal account. It will not work to do a test transaction with your business sandbox account since that is the sandbox account that is used in your WooCommerce settings.
Excellent tutorial. But when I clicked on PayPal on the checkout page, it brings me paypal popup and I get "Agree & Pay Now" and when clicked, the my website straight away shows Order received, instead of Checkout confirmation and Place Order. What could be missing here?
I have did the test on sandbox and now once it tried with actual money. The payment is going to the sandbox account how to make it to go to the correct paypal account.
great video... thankss i would like to use one paypal account for several different web to process the payment. Is that correct I just need to mke different prefix for each web ? thank you
Hey Bro!! Thanks Simon Bro, You save my all Business. Where? Merchant ID and Account ID....fffiiiuuuuu....days and days days and day after day breaking my head. Please everytime you see something like this in your settings, you must be sure that a lot of people have the same problem. Thanks Simon appreciate your videos, good luck bro!
Hey there! Thanks for your video! I actually have a question, it would be great if I could get some help for that. When I select " To test your WooCommerce installation, you can use the sandbox mode. " box and I try to place a test order, I get a " couldn't retrieve order" error in the checkout. I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong there so any help would be highly appreciated, thanks
I've referred to this video more than once and I would like to say thank you. Its not something I do everyday so I needed a reminder for the clunky process that Paypal has for the sandbox accounts. Well put together video, gave me exactly what I needed. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the video. Leave it to paypal to make you set up multiple "accounts" to do a single thing. 2nd video of yours i have watched. You have gained a sub from me.
Did you double check if you pasted everything correctly? For example, the sandbox email address, sandbox merchant id, sandbox client id, and sandbox secret key. If still having trouble scroll up and click 'disconnect'. Then, re-enter the keys in sandbox mode and check if that works.
Authentication with PayPal failed: Could not create token. Please verify your API Credentials and try again to connect your PayPal business account. Visit the plugin documentation for more information about the setup. This is the exact error I got. Please help me
👉 PayPal payments plugin: sgwp.dev/ppp
Let me know if you have any questions in the comments 👇
I'm not seeing "enable payment gateway"
do you have a video that shows the beginning steps on how to start the process before the sandbox steps. Integrating codiing, etc. Thank you
Currently you're my hero (just because I had this trouble with the popup connection) ! Thanks A LOT !
happy to hear!

When I put the paypal sandbox api keys it shows the authentication error of api keys. What could be the reason.
Did you double check if you pasted everything correctly? For example, the sandbox email address, sandbox merchant id, sandbox client id, and sandbox secret key. If still having trouble scroll up and click 'disconnect'. Then, re-enter the keys in sandbox mode and check if that works.
Ok thanks I will recheck
