Sandbox account verification - wordpress

I'm using paypal with woocommerce on a wordpress site.
I've set up a developer's account, and made a sandbox account. The profile says the status is unverified, even though I have recived the verification email and followed the link to verify the account. Could it still say unverified because I haven't linked a card to it?
When I try to test paypal checkout on my site I get this error:
Payment error:
An error (10002) occurred while processing your PayPal payment. Please contact the store owner for assistance.

Error Code Interpretation:
Authentication/Authorization Failed Username/Password is incorrect.Please check below link for more information

WooCommerce PayPal Payments 1.9.3

Failed to process the payment. Please try again or contact the shop admin. [UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY] The requested action could not be performed, semantically incorrect, or failed business validation. https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#error-PAYMENT_DENIED CreditCardGateway.php:405 [UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY] The requested action could not be performed, semantically incorrect, or failed business validation. https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#error-PAYMENT_DENIED OrderEndpoint.php:313 Order status changed from Pending payment to Failed.
PAYMENT_DENIED
This is a normal business error, not a technical problem. It simply means the payment was denied by PayPal.
If you are testing payments yourself, ensure the card and its address, email, phone number, the IP address used, etc are not associated with the receiving PayPal business account in any way. Payments to your own account are not permitted in the live/production environment.

Testing PayPal Donations with a Sandbox Account

I have a WordPress form that processes data and redirects to this url to complete the PayPal donation
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=sb-5mepe4127835%40business.example.com&currency_code=USD&amount= <amount>&return=http://example.local/about
However, when I submit the form I receive this error from PayPal
We can't complete your donation. This organization's account is inactive.
What am I missing? The reason I have it setup this way is because I want WordPress to save the form data and send a thank you/confirmation email after the payment is complete.
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=sb-5mepe4127835%40business.example.com&currency_code=USD&amount=&return=http://example.local/about
When testing with any sandbox account, change the domain to point to the www.sandbox.paypal.com sandbox environment , i.e.
https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=sb-5mepe4127835%40business.example.com&currency_code=USD&amount=&return=http://example.local/about

Error while working with PayPal in WooCommerce

I am getting following error while integrating PayPal in WooCommerce/WordPress.
Error: The API credentials you provided are not valid. Please double-check that you entered them correctly and try again.
I have supplied proper credentials from the Sandbox.
What can be the reason?
The error itself says that The API credentials you provided are not valid.
Double check with API credentials and also check if you are entering sandbox account details than sandbox mode should be enabled. you can also regenerate the credentials.

Sandbox Paypal keeps returning error

I've created a PayPal Sandbox Buyer and Seller accounts to test my website store but for some reason everytime I login in Sandbox I get this error:
"We are unable to validate your information. Please try again."
With a button to "Return to Merchant".
Already cleared my cookies...

Paypal redirect : testing with sandbox account asks to login after redirection

I have created a sandbox account in developer.sandbox.com and in have a buyer account and seller account associated with it.
I am logged in with my sandbox account and when my app(donation form) is redirected to paypal sandbox url, it asks me to signin with a sandbox account.
The same worked a week before but after paypal developer site had an upgrade to BETA version it is causing this problem. Please help.
This has already been answered here (Paypal Sandbox Testing - Change of URL Endpoint?)
Basically you need to clear your cache and cookies and ensure the test merchant account you are using has been imported to the new BETA version. Then generate a fresh token and it should work (just worked for me)
