PayPal provides a self-service sign-up for a sandbox account. To sign-up for an
account visit the
sign-up page and fill
in the details, ensuring to choose Business Account when prompted.
By default, PayPal only settles payments automatically if the payment is in the primary currency of the
PayPal merchant account. If you need to accept payments in additional currencies, you need to open a
PayPal account balance in each of the currencies you intend to accept. Alternatively, you can configure
your PayPal merchant account to automatically convert payments into the primary currency.If you receive a payment in a currency that your PayPal merchant account is not configured to accept, the
payment enters a pending state and you need to log-in to the PayPal merchant dashboard to trigger settlement, either by opening the required currency balance, or converting the payment into the primary currency of
your PayPal account.Please note that payments left in a pending state are eventually reversed by PayPal.
