I am integrating PayPal with my platform in sandbox mode.
I want to rename "John Doe's Test Store" (pictured below) with the name of my platform.
I would also like to rename "John Doe's Test Store" in the second image below, with the name of my platform.
How can this be done?
To change the account's business name, log into that receiving sandbox Business account via https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/businessmanage/account/aboutBusiness
(If you need to change the sandbox account's password, do so from PayPal Developer)
To change the displayed business name for a particular transaction, set the v2/orders REST API application_context object's brand_name parameter, or the old classic API's BRANDNAME parameter. This is mainly useful if you have multiple websites/storefronts going to one PayPal account.
I found this, (but I am not able to edit more than two characters of the name, its asking me to upload proof. Please leave a comment, if you found a work around for this)
Login to sandbox business Account
Click username on top right and chose account settings
Open Business information(Screenshot below)
Here you can edit the details by clicking the update button

This existing question https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/18959/can-i-form-a-direct-url-to-a-particular-gmail-account is close to what I need, except that I don't want to go into Gmail since email is disabled for the institutional account I am using. I want to log into some Google App - ideally Google Classroom, second choice Google Drive - but I'll take any alternative to Gmail if it shows it can be done (sorry I don't have a full list of enabled Apps for my institutional account).
This suggestion from Eivind Eklund works when Gmail is available
https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?service=mail&passive=true&Email=example#domain.com&continue=https://mail.google.com/mail/u/example#domain.com/
by which I mean it gets me into my Gmail with my personal account, and with my institutional account I get "We are sorry, but you do not have access to Email. Please contact your Organisation Administrator for access."
So, is there a URL that I can pre-populate with an account to get into a service other than Gmail? I thought perhaps if I changed service=mail to service=drive, and Email= to Account= then it might work, but this produces "The requested URL was not found on this server. That’s all we know." I could be guessing all day - I can find no documentation of what the alternative parameters might be. Can it be done?
D'oh! My colleague suggested "well let's give service=classroom a try". We then went into a particular class and copied the query string, so we can now generate direct URLs for each student (who likely won't know their ID) per class
https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?service=classroom&passive=true&Email=MY_INSTITUTIONAL_ID&continue=https://classroom.google.com/c/Mzk3MTAzNzk2MDVa
This is completely new territory for me. I'm in the process of getting up to speed with WordPress with the aim of using it as a resource to raise funds for charities. I've been looking at links such as:
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/lifecycle/ug_sandbox/
and
https://www.paypal.com/us/selfhelp/article/How-can-my-charity-or-nonprofit-use-PayPal-to-collect-donations-FAQ1068
together with a number of other resources, but I need to know exactly where to start from scratch.
Basically I would like to set up a test PayPal account which can accept dummy credit card numbers for both dummy deposits and withdrawals in order to test it out in such a way that from a WordPress theme I can make mock donations, then check that the "balance" has been credited, then be a dummy charity that can make mock withdrawals.
Presumably there are free test accounts that can do this with documentation. I've looked at some of the documentation, but it would be nice to know where to start, as there is so much.
Looking forward to some friendly and helpful reply.

To answer this question simply, use https://www.sandbox.paypal.com.
If you want to manage all your sandbox accounts, you will need to create the accounts within PayPal Developer.
Visit PayPal Developer and sign up for a PayPal account or login to an existing one.
To access PayPal Developer site, you need to login with a real PayPal account (non-sandbox).
Create a sandbox account after logging into PayPal Developer.
You will be creating a testing account you will use when logging into the testing environment.
After creating all the accounts you need, ie. receiving side (you) & sending side (donator), you can use these accounts to make sandbox transactions.
Basically, production is www.paypal.com and sandbox (testing) is www.sandbox.paypal.com.
As with PayPal integration with WordPress, there should be a lot of plugins for this. You can even just generate a HTML donate button from within your PayPal account to create a donate button that will send donation to that account which generated the button.
First of all , the test accounts I created were not working. So, I removed all Paypal cookies.So, now good thing I can login into test accounts but can't access My Settings and My Selling tools under My Profile. I'm trying to create Buy Now button in My Selling tools.
Also, My Paypal live account is for Paypal Payments Standard(My Business Setup->My payment solution) and in test account the payment solution is Paypal Payments Pro and doesn't let me change this option.The links in my business solution (View all products to learn more or select an additional payment solution or we can recommend one that fits your needs.) goes to PayPal live site.
Any one facing this crazy PayPal sandbox behavior !!!
When you say you can't access My Settings and My Selling tools under My Profile, are you getting an error or what is it doing specifically. The Pro account that you have in sandbox, will work for testing Website Payments Standard. Also, another option if you can't create test buttons from your sandbox account would be to log into your live account and create a non hosted / clear text button. Then you would just modify the button code, and change the URL in the form tag from the live site to the sandbox site. Also, you will need to change the value of the business variable and set it to either the email address of your test sandbox seller account or the merchant id. Another work around that has worked in the past as well, is going into your live account and going to the page you are wanting and copy the URL from the address bar and just modifing it to include the sandbox URL.
So if my live site URL was something like:
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&SESSION=
I would just change it to
https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&SESSION=
Also, if you can give me more details about what is happening when you try to access your profile in your sandbox account I can look into it further.
'm using the project http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/42894/Introduction-to-PayPal-for-C-ASP-NET-developers to test the PayPal's sandbox. I have a sandbox account, inside it I have a business account (for some reason I see Business Unverified) and also a Personal Verified account to do some payments. After running that project, i process to payment using that Personal account data. After the payment completes I still don't see that payment in my Business account. Why ?
Try this to verify your business account
Go to your Test Accounts page
Select the Unverified account.
Click the Enter Sandbox Test Site button.
A new window will pop up that looks very much like the actual www.paypal.com, except it says PayPal Sandbox at the top and a text saying Test Site below it. E-mail of the Test Account should be filled out already.
Enter the password (that you hopefully remember or noted down) and sign in.
Go to the My Account Overview page.
Below the “Welcome, Test User” header, it should say “Status: Unverified. Get verified”.
Click on that “Get verified”-link.
From here the process might vary a bit depending on what country you selected for the test account. I selected United Kingdom (or rather, it was the default and I didn’t bother changing it).
On the “Get verified by linking your bank account”-page, click on the “Link Bank Account”-button.
Routing number and Account number should be filled out already.
Fill out Bank name, if you feel like it
Click Continue.
Put whatever you feel like in the two “Confirm deposits-fields.
Click Submit.
Done. It should say “Bank account confirmed”. Also, if you go back and refresh the Test Accounts page, it should say Verified on the account.
OK, I've figured it out.
I had to provide int the Web.config file my own PayPalUsername (that sandbox business account email),
PDTToken (using that tutorial)
APIUsername,APIPassword,APISignature (using that tutorial)
Have anyone heard Facebook say anything about adding the possibility to specify the privacy when publishing an action? I wonder if it's something they plan for the near future or if it will take longer time for them to implement.
Background
The "App activity privacy" let's the user set who should be able to see actions published by the app. I would like my app to set the privacy for each and every action the app publishes, just as an app can do for wall posts by specifying the "privacy" field.
Edit 2012-05-24
I attended Facebook Developer Garage in Stockholm yesterday and had the opportunity to ask what Facebook's plan is. The answer was that Facebook did think a lot about adding flexible privacy settings, but decided that they want it as simple as possible for the user. They want to let the user decide the privacy settings for everything the app publishes once and the users can currently do this when they add the app. You never know when Facebook change their minds but currently they don't have a plan for decent privacy settings.
Facebook have now added the "privacy" parameter when publishing actions.
See https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/actions/
Case closed.
Edit: As Angel García Olloqui pointed out, the privacy field can only have the values ALL_FRIENDS or SELF. Pretty useless for now.
Edit: I added a more complete answer to the question.
Access token generates corresponding to your all permissions which appear on the first startup of the application. Then by using that access token app enables to get some information from user
