The PayPal sandbox is a self-contained, virtual testing environment that simulates the live PayPal production environment. The sandbox provides a shielded space where you can initiate and watch while your apps process PayPal API requests without touching any live PayPal accounts.
The PayPal sandbox mirrors the features on the PayPal production servers. While some PayPal features do not apply to the sandbox, such as closing an account, issuing monthly statements, storing shipping preferences, and PayPal Shops support, the sandbox has the same PayPal API feature set as the live environment. You can test your PayPal processes in the sandbox. Processes behave the same in the sandbox environment as they do on production servers.
When you initiate a transaction through a sandbox account, PayPal creates a mock transaction that behaves exactly like a transaction in the live environment. By using fictitious sandbox accounts with their associated authentication credentials in your PayPal API calls, you can test and debug your apps without referencing any real PayPal users or live PayPal accounts.
During the test phase, use the sandbox endpoints and your sandbox account details in each PayPal API request that you make. Create and manage your set of sandbox accounts from the sandbox Accounts page. Use the Sandbox test site to review the transactions associated with the calls you make using your sandbox accounts.
Test your application by creating a sandbox account for each user entityrepresented in your PayPal transactions. When testing, use the sandbox accountsin place of all the live accounts you will use while processing livetransactions.

If you use PayPal as your payment provider for Online Registration, you may find that on occasion your registrations are not confirmed automatically. For example, you may find an "Incomplete" registration in Main Street Sites even though you received a payment confirmation from PayPal.
By default, Main Street Sites relies on PayPal to tell us (via "IPN Notifications") when a payment has been received. PayPal IPN notifications are generally reliable, but on occasion the IPN notification is never received. If you enable the PayPal Order Status Checker, then Main Street Sites can be more proactive on your behalf by programmatically polling PayPal regarding the status of recent registration payment activity. In the rare case that an IPN is not received, the PayPal Order Status Checker can still determine that a payment was made and, as a result, can update the registration status automatically in your Main Street Sites account.
