Can I not search this forum? Sandbox problem

I have a question that I would think has been answered but I can’t seem to figure out how to search this forum. Is there search capabilities that I’m not seeing?

I know you don’t support PayPal Sandbox but I did follow your video and for some reason I can’t log into the personal account when I click on my s2member created button. I can log on through PayPal Sandbox directly but not when I get to the checkout screen. Can someone help or direct me to help?

Thank you,

Hi John, I don’t know if this is still the case but sandbox used to require you to be logged in to your “business” account when testing…

Might be worth a try!

I wasn’t able to revisit this until today. It seems to be working now and yes, Epix, I did need to sign into my main sandbox account before completing the transaction. The problem I ran into today, I was already signed on as admin when the transaction completed so s2member errored saying I couldn’t change admin, which is good. Now my sandbox account has an error that I’m working on. Somehow it knows the prior transaction errored and won’t let me continue.

John, although s2Member supports PayPal’s Sandbox, I personally don’t recommend it because it’s not exactly the same as the actual service, and it has some extra problems of its own that you wouldn’t need to deal.

I suggest that you do real transactions for 1 cent in your tests and get it running that way, then just change the amount to what you’ll actually charge.

I hope that helps. :)
