How to enable recurring payments for sandbox account?
Last time I used sandbox, I enabled it by request on https://www.x.com/developers/paypal/forums/paypal-sandbox/enable-reference-transaction-sandbox
Thread is locked and it points to developer.paypal.com. I created there test accounts, and even imported old accounts from old version of sandbox. But I can't find how to enable recurring payments, as it's disabled by default.
So, how could I test recurring payments?
I have set this up before
I searched around and found some instructions
- Create a test account as a normal seller, not pro, via the deveoper.paypal.com interface
- Log into the sandbox (sandbox.paypal.com) using the new test account
- Make sure you are in the My Account section of the site by clicking the My Account main menu tab
- Click on the sub menu "Profile"
- Under the Financial Information column click the link for "Recurring payments dashboard"
6 .On the right hand side click the link for "Sign up for Enhanced Recurring Payments"
- Click the Agree and Continue button
This link shows how to implement it:

If you are doing API calls - I had to actually contact PayPal support and give them the sandbox (Merchant Pro) accounts I wanted working, you have to ask them to enable DPRP on those accounts.
