Standard PayPal Sandbox Error Issue in Woocommerce


I have configured WooCommerce in WordPress and enabled PayPal Standard Sandbox with a client PayPal account email Id.

When I purchase 3 downloadable products for a Total amount of USD 3.25 with PayPal Standard payment gateway, I got this error:

"Things don't appear to be working at the moment. Please try again later."…

I checked PayPal settings, it is attached with bank and credit card.

Remember: As can check its not business account nor I filled "API credentials".

What I am doing wrong?


Solution

  • If you enable Paypal Sandbox option, you need to get a testing developer account (as specified in related settings… see below):

    enter image description here

    This testing account doesn't need to be attached with bank and credit card.

    That's why it doesn't work…

    The developer account provide (for testing):

    • Admins account (where you will get transactions, notifications, errors)
    • Fake customers account for fake purchases.

    Once registered your developer account, you will need to create a pair of admin + customers account for one URL shop.
