Paypal-Sandbox-Mode does not work was created by Roy Mönster
Hi, i am using the Standard-Payment-Plugin "os_paypal". On the right side of the screen i can input my parameter. The live-mode works very well, no problems. But i cant solve the problem using the "test-mode". I am doing the following steps:

1. Chance paypal mode to "Test Mode"
2. Enter the Paypal Sandbox Email, in my case: sb-gi4jq18290445@business.example.com
3. Going to "Advanced-Tab, filling in the "NVP/SOAP Sandbox API credentials" paypal is providing me.
 Sandbox API User: sb-gi4jq18290445@business.example.com
 Sandbox API Password: 5SL7LKWV9SV66TKQ
 Sanbox API Signature: khil9oXb6TWDZlcDkVufCSg-Jo4AxrhzksZU
 (Note: that are not the real parameter from my account)
4. In paypal i am activating the sanbox-mode, of course

When i now want to order a ticket, the system wants to redirect to paypal, but then the paypal-error-message "Sorry, there is an error, please try again later" is showing (i translated it from german.

Do you have an idea, what i am doing wrong? I didnt found another thread for this topic. I attached two screenshots

Hi Roy

In short, PayPal sandbox is not a reliable envirenment, sometime it works, sometime it does not and it is not under our control

As it works in Live Mode already, not sure why you need to test it in test mode, too ?

Thank you, i wanted to use the sandbox-mode for testing, how the system counts the registrants, etc..
But i found another solution. I also accept offline payment, just for testing.

Yes, offline payment could be used for this kind of testing !
