I was trying to make website payment pro sandbox account. I followed all instructions (from my sellers sandbox account applied for website payment pro, clicked on "save and continue" button after entering all information) but I am getting blank page from PayPal as response.

Does anyone know how to create Paypal Payments pro in Sandbox account ?

Go to https://developer.paypal.com/ and login using a valid PayPal account.

  1. Click on 'Dashboard'
  2. Click on 'Accounts' under the 'Sandbox' heading

Use the following values:
Country: United States
Credit card: Visa
Bank account: No
Balance: Up to you
Password: Use something easy to remember

Create the account and retrieve the API credentials by clicking on the little arrow on the left of the account. Click 'Profile' followed by 'API Acess' in the modal window that opens up.
