PayPal sandbox question

1 replies
Here comes another of my bonehead questions. The answer probably is obvious to everyone but me.

What I am trying to do is use the PayPal sandbox to test payment at a website. It looks to me that I set up a sandbox buyers account and a sandbox sellers account in the sandbox.

These accounts are not real and do exist only in the sandbox.

Then do I simply go to the site at which I want to test the PayPal system and be a buyer using the buyer's account I set up in the sandbox?

Then if all worked as planned I would go into back into PayPal (or do I go into sandbox?)using the "fake" sandbox seller's account ID and password and there should be an artificial transaction recorded as if it had been a real sale?

Is that the process?

Thanks in advance.

    You'll just need to change the URL on the IPN if you are referring to this. Remove the word sandbox to make it live.
