Test the configuration

For basic guidance on how to test payment gateway integrations within a sandbox environment, see Test payment gateway integration .

Accessing your gateway's test environment

When configuring the PayPal payment gateway in Zuora, you can indicate whether you would like to use the PayPal test environment or the PayPal Production (Live) environment.

• If Use Gateway Test Environment is selected, Zuora will direct payment transactions to the following test environment which is a test simulator at​​​ https://svcs.sandbox.paypal.com/AdaptivePayments/ (API entry point).

• If Use Gateway Test Environment is not selected (disabled), Zuora will direct payment transactions to the following production environment: https://svcs.paypal.com/AdaptivePayments (API entry point).

Testing

Merchants can test their workflow using the PayPal Sandbox; go to developer.paypal.com to set up your test environment. The Sandbox App Id that is used is APP-80W284485P519543T. We recommend contacting your PayPal MTS support team for their recommended testing documentation.

General Testing Information

Zuora has been certified with PayPal as an integration partner and maintains the integration on an ongoing basis, thoroughly testing the integration with every new release. The PayPal integration documentation is helpful if you are integrating PayPal directly with your website (for example, to support the creation of Preapproval Agreements), then you may need to refer to the integration guides. However, you do not need to perform any integration or certification testing to submit transactions to PayPal via the Zuora application. The intended audience for the integration guides are technical integrators, however, these documents can be helpful to non-technical integrators who can refer to it for information on testing and troubleshooting gateway errors (as described below).

In general, gateway testing environments are intended to give merchants the opportunity to test their gateway and integrations to their gateway, in order to work out any bugs before going to the production environment. Some gateway test environments are shared amongst multiple merchants, and other gateways provide unique testing environments for each merchant. Additionally, gateway test environments (also referred to as certification or sandbox environments) do not have the same high availability or performance capability as production environments. As such, they are not intended for load testing. Merchants performing high volumes of load testing that puts a stress on a shared test environment may receive a warning from the gateway or have their access to the testing environment suspended.
