PayPal Sandbox Issues

[fxgrinder]

Hi, hopefully someone can help me. I am trying to test my payment function with the PayPal sandbox option and when I access the gateway with the test id I am faced with an error message shown below.

“Sorry — your last action could not be completed”

PayPal suggested resolution:

To resolve this error:

Find the line displayed below in the HTML code of your PayPal Standard button:

<form action=”https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr&#8221; method=”post”>

Add target=”paypal” to that line, so that it matches the line below:

<form action=”https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr&#8221; method=”post” target=”paypal”>

I would but I am not sure how to alter the button created inside the Simple Membership plugin as all I receive is the shortcode.

Can anyone please advise?

Thanks.

Hi, thx for the suggestion, but that is the reference I used to set up the sandbox initially. If yoo review my post, the solution is provided, I am just not sure how the edit the paypal button string as I all I see is the short-code.

Hi, thank you for getting back and providing more information.

Just one question do you have Sandbox option enabled in the plugin under Settings?

I have just gone through a tortuous experience. I host the plugin on 1&1 who service WordPress. They were upgrading the servers and are almost complete.

First are you using the PayPal Standard button or the Plug-in PayPal Button? This helps people.
To find out why it does not work the best is to view the Debug script in the Plug-in. Look in Settings.

There are a number of things you need to have established. Php 7.0 plus whats on this link
