Testing Your Integration in
Sandbox
The PayPal Sandbox is a self-contained environment within which you can prototype and test
PayPal features. The PayPal Sandbox is an almost identical copy of the live PayPal website.
Its purpose is to give developers a shielded environment for testing and integration purposes,
and to help avoid problems that might occur while testing PayPal integration solutions on the
live site. Before moving any PayPal-based application into production, you should test the
application in the Sandbox to ensure that it functions as you intend and within the guidelines
and standards set forth by the PayPal Developer Network (PDN).
For complete details on using Sandbox, refer to
Sandbox User Guide.
