Test PayPal Payments Advanced

Testing PayPal Payments Advanced should test for both success and failure.

• Successful transactions are achieved when using the correct parameters and either a PayPal account or direct credit card.
• Failure transactions are achieved through various conditions that result in test amounts that equal one of the error codes. You can also test AVS and CVV codes.

Example Scenarios

• Change the amount to "AMT=104.86" and you should be able to see the 10486 error with a card. This represents a problem with the customer's card or account.
• Input 116 for the CVV code in the form and you will receive an error that the CVV doesn't match when fraud filters are on in your account.
• Input 123 for the CVV code to test for countries that do not support CVV codes.
