PayPal Sandbox User Guide PayPal Sandbox User Guide. PDF document. PayPal is an online payment processor; it allows buyers and sellers to make monetary transactions easily and securely. PayPal is not, however, a credit card gateway; to accept payments with PayPal you do not have to pass a rigorous credit check, install any equipment or special software, make agreements with a bank, or send in signed documents. You also do not need to gather credit card numbers from your buyers or subsequently safeguard such sensitive financial information. The best way to start using PayPal to sell merchandise online is to add one or more PayPal buttons to your web site. This document describes the PayPal test environment called the Sandbox. This document is written for merchants and developers who want to test their PayPal-based applications before using them in production. The PayPal Sandbox is a self-contained environment within which you can prototype and test PayPal features and APIs. The PayPal Sandbox is an almost identical copy of the live PayPal website. Its purpose is to give developers a shielded environment for testing and integration purposes and to help avoid problems that might occur while testing PayPal integration solutions on the live site. Before moving any PayPal-based application into production, you should test the application in the Sandbox to ensure that it functions as you intend. The Sandbox creates bank accounts, credit card numbers, and CVV2 numbers you need in order to develop and test; all of which are fictitious and only used within the Sandbox. The Sandbox simulates the verification of these numbers. Transactions do not affect real accounts and actual money is never exchanged.
