Test options PayPal:
PayPal Sandbox:
To use the PayPal Sandbox, it is necessary to create a Sandbox account.
When the following steps are completed, please provide us with the email address of the Sandbox account. As soon as it is stored in your Computop account, you can start testing.
Activation/API release of the Sandbox dealer account:
1.) Please open the PayPal Sandbox-Developer page in a browser TAB and log in. -https://developer.paypal.com-
On this page, please log in with the existing login data of the live account.
2.) Now you can create a seller (sandbox account) as well as various buyer accounts.
3.) Afterwards, log in separately on the Sandbox PayPal configuration page with the created seller account. -http://www.sandbox.paypal.com
For this purpose, various users have been created in the sandbox, so please login with the email address of the Sandbox Business Account and the corresponding password.
3.) Give API approval "test_paypal_api_api1.computop.com" and set the five necessary check marks.
Please set the following available approvals -Definition for third party provider-:
– Use Express Checkout for your payment transactions
– Initiating a repayment for certain transactions
– Authorize and collect your PayPal transactions
– Retrieving information about an individual transaction
– Search your transactions for items that match specific criteria and view the results
Simulation mode:
With the following option you can simulate payments via Computop Paygate.
Please enter the following value in the parameter OrderDesc.
Parameter Value
OrderDesc Test:0000
Example:
OrderDesc=Test:0000
The example with the value "0000" simulates a successful transaction. For example, if you pass the response code "0305", you simulate a failed transaction. Please refer to the current Computop Paygate documentation for the possible response codes. This means that if you send the corresponding error code, the payment also receives the desired status and the Computop Paygate reports this status back to your system. Please always transfer the last 4 digits of the response code.
Important: Due to the missing transfer of the payment information to the payment provider, the simulation does not return any payment type related parameters in our response (e.g. installment plans, PayPal BillingAgreementID, credit information, etc.). We only get these back in tests without simulation and forward them to you.
