After clicking paypal button it sends me to a page to login so I can pay the item. However, sandbox won't let me in. It says username or password is incorrect or something like that. But when I switch to a real paypal, I can get in. I don't know what I am missing here. Help pls...
You log in to PayPal sandbox using an email like john.smith#gmail.com. Then you create sellers and buyers, Paypal generates fake emails like john.sm343443.per#gmail.com with a password.
That's the one you have to use for checkout, not john.smith#gmail.com.
May sound dumb but do you have sandbox account?

I logged in using a social network account and the default email changed. This probably seemed like a rookie issue but it really was a pain. There should be a way to set the email you want your confirmation sent to.
I am using PayPal Express Checkout in my project and I am using my Sandbox testing account to test the PayPal in the development environment.
I am using my Business account I get from PayPal website. Now I want to go live,
what should I do before I go live?
Some said that I should ONLY remove sandbox from my PayPal links, it didn't seem to work with me.
Others said that I have to create an app, but then they will give me client-ID and Secret.
Where should I place them?
because sandbox testing accounts gives me three API credentials USER, PWD, & SIGNATURE
from where I can get my live credentials for USER, PWD, & SIGNATURE
Login to this URL with your live PayPal account: https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-api-run
It will drop you directly into the page that displays your username, password, and signature (with little "show" links for each one).
The long way to get there is to login to www.paypal.com, click into your profile, and look for "API Access".
I need to create Paypal button for someone else's account. My client has given me their API username, password and signature. I need to create a button for them but I think in order to do that, I need access to their merchant account, based on the info they gave me.
Is it possible to create the button for them with the information they have provided or will they need to make the button in their merchant account and send me the code?
You may create a button for them by going to www.paypal.com/buttonfactory and all you will need is the email address they have associated with their PayPal account to link the button to their account.
I have registered to paypal on live on https://www.paypal.com. Not verified for live.
I can login to https://developer.paypal.com with above login detail.
Here I go for sandbox accounts, I have created two account, one business and one personal.
(Sandbox account are verified)
I am trying for payment integration with Paypal with html form.
I have specified the notify_url, payment goes all right but no notification in notify_url.
I have double checked the notify_url, its working fine.
Anybody there, what seems to be wrong here?
Are you using buttons created and saved to a PayPal account? You may not be able to define a notify_url value through a hosted button. IPN may also be disabled in the account.
Log into the seller account receiving the payment, enable IPN, and set a URL for the post to be sent to. From the "Instant Payment Notification Preferences" section (where you enable IPN) you can view the IPN History which shows you the last 28 days of IPN posts sent for that account.
I've run into the same problem. A buy now hosted button was saved without errors, but a notify_url was not notified by paypal.
There is a work around, you can specify a notify_url in your profile globally.

For future reference: I just had the same problem. This caused it in my case:
I have been testing on the development server. This server was not accessible for IPs outside of our company (for security purposes). So the IPN-call from paypal never came trough to the IPN-script on the development server.
Took me one day to figure that out...
If you already done the test of the IPN via the simulator https://developer.paypal.com/developer/ipnSimulator/ and checked if it's OK?
Have you checked you set the "pixel" in your HTML form? If it's missing, the notify_url won't work. This solution worked for me.
For Sandbox, use : <img alt="" src="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/fr_FR/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
I have a scenario where i need to have a user checkout through PayPal and then once we receive the payment then we create a membership record in our membership site. The PayPal requires a "return" field when you submit the form button that will take the user back to our page once the order has been successfully processed. On that page is where we actually track the sale and fire a chunk of javascript to track the sale.
So my question is this, how can i make sure that the return page comes from PayPal and is not spoofed by a user in the system. I know there is a way to use the notify_url to have PayPal post back to our system, but in this case i have to run a chunk of javascript. Is there an easy way to do this, or would i have to write some looping/timeout function that checks to see if the notify post has come through?
Im using .net to do the posting to paypal
You need to have PayPal call a script on your site in order to prevent spoofing. Anything that goes through the client/browser is open to the user for modification, so only things that come directly to your server from PayPal are secure.
