Testing Checkout - Help?

I want to test out my checkout, I am trying it with paypal sandbox, but I am not even sure this is the way to do it?

If using a paypal sandbox test account is the way to do it, I entered the API info in the paypal configure merchant account, and then used the Credit card number from a test paypal buyer account, then when I checkout and click CONFIRM I get this error message, Payment error: LongMessage: This transaction cannot be processed due to an invalid merchant configuration. ShortMessage: Invalid Configuration ErrorCode: 10501

I really don't know what the issue is, I had another order go through with a different test account, but never got a email confirmation that is selected to on in nop.

Can anyone walk me through this process?

Hi,

Before you start with that, you need to create Paypal Sandbox merchant and user account. Merchant configuration should go into your plugin configuration and you need to tick that its a test / sandbox configurations so it connect to sandbox api rather than live api. User account details you can use for paying the orders. If everything is good, there shouldn't be a problem.

I think you're not using credit card details provided by Paypal Sandbox user accounts, and instead trying with a your credit card details that it won't accept.

If none of this works, try google on figure out what is wrong and then contact Paypal support to help you with the same. In most cases, this is straight forward if you do it correctly.

ok thanks I will try it again, at least I know I am doing it somewhat correctly. Just gotta figure out the right combination.

Yes, you just need to use right details for testing! And it will work.

Still not working: Here is how I have it configured

(this is my paypal test Business Account)
Transaction Mode: Authorize
Use Sandbox: checked
API Account name: morrealedesign_api3.verizon.net
API Account Password: 5KEV4M5DGAPG58FQ
Signature:  An5ns1Kso7MWUdW4ErQKJJJ4qi4-AUUIosoovkgUoUy-9.wFVaYDkK0P


(this is my paypal Personal test Account information. I also created another user account in Nop to login that matches the paypal Personal account, and here is the info I entered into the checkout)

Select Credit Card: Visa
Card Holder Name: Chuck Design
Card Number: 4032037273875118
Expiration Date: 3/2020
Card Code: 123 (paypal doesn't give a card code so I just made this up)


Any ideas what is wrong?

Which Paypal plugin you're using?

Also check this and this.

It says, this error Occurs when the billing agreement is disabled or inactive.

ok i will try those things. I am using paypal direct

I believe you need PayPal Pro to do Direct. I'm not sure how/if the sandbox handles that.  You may want to contact PayPal support.
