Good day @Harsha075,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.

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.
