How to enable recurring payments for sandbox accou

Question

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?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

I have set this up before

I searched around and found some instructions

1. Create a test account as a normal seller, not pro, via the deveoper.paypal.com interface
2. Log into the sandbox (sandbox.paypal.com) using the new test account
3. Make sure you are in the My Account section of the site by clicking the My Account main menu tab
4. Click on the sub menu "Profile"
5. 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"
6. Click the Agree and Continue button
