Another PapPal Sandbox question

Hi,

I have reviewed existing topics regarding PayPal Sandbox problems. It seems simple enough: "If you want to use the sandbox, you just need to configure your sandbox account (a buyer and a seller), set the seller account of your sandbox account in the paypal plugin options and change the URL in these options to use the sandbox URL"

I apologize in advance, but I must be a little challenged in my aptitude for this. I have established buyer and seller accounts within PayPal Sandbox. I have tried configuring the PayPal Payment Plugin within HikaShop with both the real account email and the Sandbox seller account email and pointed the URL to www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr . Either way, when I go to my website to test a transaction, I get to a screen that tells me I am being redirected to the PayPal page. The next screen that appears says "Please login to use the PayPal Sandbox features". I saw the topic that said to login to the Sandbox first. I have tried that with the real account email (same result), but PayPal Sandbox will not allow me to login with the Sandbox seller account credentials. I would love it if you could point out the error in my approach so that my next message could be "You're right - it works great!".

Thanks for all you do - I am highly impressed with your product.

Hi,

You need to first logged on the sandbox website with your main sandbox account. Once that done, stay logged in there and purchase on your website with your sandbox customer account and it should work.
