Why do we need to use "Sandbox"? Why not just create a normal PayPal business account?

If this is a "test" account, does that mean it's not a real account?

This tutorial is for learning process, so that you will understand how online transaction is done. The transaction is not real.

When you register the Paypal SandBOx, in it you could create test account / demo account which is not a real account that you use to do demo online transaction safely.

Yes, you could create a Normal Paypal Business Account and use this tutorial to create Paypal Buy Now & Donate Button.

For programmer, Paypal Created the sandbox environment for us to test our coding for more complex application.

Hope I answered your question.

Hi probyte2u, does paypal sandbox testing allow for IPNs as well? I mean will i be sent the IPN for a test subscription with the subscription details, like cancelled, failed, etc?

Thanks.

This is ok for creating a button. With a normal account, buttons can also be changed ("updated") later. How is this done in a sandbox? (There's no profile link in the top navigation, and My Account - Profile - More Options gives a 404 ...)

Hi, sorry i couldn't help you. I need to update this article, but no time. Paypal changed the interface, so it might be different than what it was 2 years back.
