I have tried to get paypal to work in sandbox mode, but when the order went through, it says unclaimed in the payment history, yet when I try it live and using my wife's card, everything works ok. Is there a problem with the paypal sand box??

I am facing same problem.

You need to configure the sandbox account separately from your live account. Have you modified the settings for automatically accepting and converting currencies in your sandbox account?

It looks like the two accounts are configured differently. Are you testing using your own "home" currency?

email id is same for both account (live and sandbox). I am using dollar. (Shop in Prestashop default currency)

[Paul C]

The email address is irrelevant. You need to log into the sandbox account you've created and configure it just like you would a live account. The sandbox is a copy of the live system, and there's no link between them. You must create at least two paypal accounts in the sandbox - one for the test seller and one for the test buyer. Once you've done that:

- Log into the sandbox at developer.paypal.com
- Click Test Accounts
- Highlight your test seller account and click the orange "Enter Sandbox Test Site"
- Configure your sellers account

I have done all that, but im not getting all of the options to configure my account. See screen shot below of what options I have.

Doesn't look like you've set up a business account? The seller account should be, as you wouldn't be setting up a website to sell things with a personal account. Those options are for a personal account (which you would set up as your test customer).

Duh.. Should have realised. Thanks Paul

Hi Paul,

Thanks, I've setup the sandbox account n made a successful payment but admin panel shows "payment error".

[Paul C]

Is it the wrong amount paid by any chance?

That's the most likely problem at the moment, as it seems there's a problem with the official 1.4 module when using different currencies than the default.

I am having similar problems for the past two hours, my head hurts!

I have configured two sandbox accounts, one buyer, one premier seller.
When I am buying on Presta, I am redirected to paypal sandbox, where I am able to complete a payment, but then when I click the button that brings me back to presta, I am getting to the order history page, and it says "you havent placed any orders"

Also, the order is not logged in the orders tab.

Any idea what may be the cause?

Hi,

I have been trying to set up Paypal Sandbox for 2 days now and I am always getting the same "payment error" with amount of 0 when back to Prestashop after PayPal process. I can read here it's a bug ? When this will work in PS ? Any patch around there ?
I am using a default currency that is not available in PP dashboard, could that be the problem ?

Best regards,
Julien

Try it with USD to make sure it is not currency related.
But, I suspect it will not work for you. I havent gotten a solution yet - using the stable PrestaShop build and sandbox paypal is not working.

I'm using sandbox in my mobile phone as another option.

The most common problem with the paypal module is that when using Sandbox mode, the orders are not showing up on the shop.

The reason for that is the paypal module is currently set up to create orders only if the response it gets from the paypal site is "Completed", however when running in Sanbox mode, paypal send a response of "Pending".

I have read some documentation about changing the sandbox account to send a "Completed" response, but even after trying that, payments still appeared as pending.



In order to fix that, make the following change in /modules/paypal/validation.php line #80, it will allow for an order with a "Pending" status to go through, but only in sandbox mode

elseif ($_POST['payment_status'] != 'Completed')

Should be changed to

elseif ($_POST['payment_status'] != 'Completed' && (!Configuration::get('PAYPAL_SANDBOX') || $_POST['payment_status'] != 'Pending'))

I personally do not mind this feature of paypal sandbox. It can get annoying becuase you are not always sure how many orders you have completed due to the sandbox fault where orders do not show up unless they are confirmed "completed" by the first party site. At the end of the month though you still get a check for the right amount of money. The commission does not change or have faults, only the timing of the tracking. Ultimately paypal makes my online business so much simpler and saves me a lot of time.

EDIT: I deleted this post since I made a correction to tomerg3's code that had no sense.
Sorry and many thanks to tomerg3!

Trawled through all of these forums as my orders weren't being returned into my staging site admin from PayPal Sandbox.
Ended in the realisation that if the staging site is password protected then PayPal can't return the info.
Sometimes its the simplest solution is the answer!!
