How do I set up PayPal With Easy Digital Downloads and confirm the setup with Paypal?

[ltodd1970]

My account is connected with Easy Digital Downloads - however, I cannot confirm my email address because PPal has not sent the email to my address to confirm. 

•  API: Your PayPal account is successfully connected in sandbox mode.
•  Payment Status: You need to address the following issues before you can start receiving payments:
  • Your PayPal email address needs to be confirmed.
•  Webhook: Webhook successfully configured for the following events:
  •  PAYMENT.CAPTURE.COMPLETED
  •  PAYMENT.CAPTURE.DENIED
  •  PAYMENT.CAPTURE.REFUNDED
  •  PAYMENT.CAPTURE.REVERSED

Help, please! I am hoping that EDD can be used with PayPal still. What must I do?

I have completed both the email confirmation and verification of the bank account, although it is still saying that the email address needs to be confirmed.  Could you please help me solve this issue.  Thanks 🙂

Good day @ltodd1970,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.

I would suggest to please follow the steps provided in the below guide link to confirm your LIVE PayPal account.

https://www.paypal.com/us/cshelp/article/how-do-i-confirm-my-email-address-help138 

Emails relating to sandbox accounts are sent to the "notifications" section within PayPal Developer, they are not sent to external email addresses. Check the notifications section within 

Please follow the below steps to access the Sandbox email notifications.

Login to https://developer.paypal.com/ >> settings >> Dashboard >> SANDBOX >> click "notifications" section. 

or

Login to https://developer.paypal.com/  >> go to direct link - https://developer.paypal.com/dashboard/notifications

Note :  If your trying to test the payment flow in sandbox environment, please use the test Sandbox accounts(Business & Personal). 

Login to your Business Sandbox account and create a test button code and use the test Personal Sandbox account to process payments. 

Guide link - https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api-basics/sandbox/accounts/#create-and-manage-sandbox-accounts

For LIVE payments, please process a test payment via valid funding source which is not linked to your PayPal account, since merchants can't process self payments.

Sincerely,

Chiranjeevi
