Setting Up Test TransactionsNow that you have created a test personal account and a test business account, the next step is to fundthe accounts and create some test transactions. The API cannot be used to add funds to an account a transaction, but simply to work with existing transactions. Thus, you need to use the onlinetools to add some money to the test personal account and then send some money from that account test business account. To do so, log into developer.paypal.com (PayPal Developer Central), click tab, click the Launch Sandbox button, and log in with your test personal account. Begin by manually adding some money to the test personal account you want to use for the purchase. While logged in to the Sandbox account for that user, select Add Funds. Under options, select TransferFunds. Select the account and the dollar amount and click Continue. Because this is a test account, you also have to manually clear the transaction. From the Overviews the transaction should be listed as pending. If you click the Details link, an option to clear the transactionappears. Select the Clear Transaction link and the status of the transaction changes to Completed. Next, you need to set up one or more test transactions so you can work with those transactions using While still logged in to the test personal account, click the Send Money tab. Fill in the informationfor the test business account, including the e-mail address you assigned to that account and the amountyou want to pay it. Follow the online instructions to complete the transaction. Verify that the transaction was successful by logging out of the test personal account and by logging test business account. The payment should be shown on the Overview page, as shown in the exam- ple in Figure 6-10. Notice that the available balance has been reduced by the PayPal service fee.
