It cannot be used to accept real payments and can only be used with API Access info obtained from **PayPal Sandbox accounts**.

===== Going Live =====

=== How to get started ===

  - Check your account status. Login to [[http://www.paypal.com/|PayPal]]. Go to your PayPal Profile and click **My settings**. Confirm that your //Account type//  is either Premier or Business, or upgrade your account.
  - Check your API settings. Click **My selling tools**. Expand //Selling online//  if needed and check //API access//. Click **Update**  and **Add or edit API permission**  or **View API signature**.
  - Test your integration using the PayPal Sandbox, as described in [[https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/lifecycle/ug_sandbox/|Testing Classic API Calls]]. All Adaptive API calls in the Sandbox must have the following standard value as the App ID: \\ ''APP-80W284485P519543T''
  - To go live with your application, follow the submission steps outlined in [[https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/lifecycle/goingLive/|Going Live with Your Application]]. When you submit your application to PayPal for review, the application is quickly scanned for the requests to PayPal operations. If no "advanced" operations are found, PayPal issues an App ID for the production servers at the time you submit the application. If your application uses "advanced" PayPal operations, or if your application implements a complex business model, you can expect the review to take approximately 10 – 15 days.
