I am trying to test a PayPal button on my website. I know it works as I have made sales. I just wanted to see url variables of the auto-return page. Does it visit it? Does it pass on the paypal button code? Does it pass on quantity purchased or perhaps amount spent? I need this to establish Google ads conversion value.
But whenever I try to log in with any of my PayPal sandbox accounts credentials I set up in the PayPal Developer >> Testing Tools >> Sandbox Accounts, it goes to
Already got a PayPal account? Log In or Pay with debit or credit card page.
The PayPal instructions I followed are:
Test buttons on your website
Open your web page in a browser and click on the PayPal payment button.
When prompted to log in on the PayPal payment page, log in with your test buyer account credentials for the sandbox.
Under Sandbox in the PayPal Developer Dashboard, click Notifications.
Verify that you have received email notifications for your transactions.
When your tests are complete, log in to your PayPal Business account and create the buttons for your website. For detailed instructions, see Create a payment button.
It does see if the sandbox test account email and password are correct as if wrong password was entered, it displays error. Paypal verifies that the account exists and password is correct but does not simulate checkout and goes in circles.
Here is a button you can test

I have since decided to design passive IPN listener but that is another topic.
Could you please check and see if you can log in to sandbox during checkout of the above and any other PayPal stored button?
