How do I find my PayPal sandbox API credentials?

Log in to your sandbox PayPal account. Go to Settings (Gear Icon) > Account Settings > API Access. Select NVP/SOAP API integration (Classic) > Manage API Credentials > Request API Signature. You can find API Username, API Password, and API Signature.

Finally I succeeded ¡¡¡¡¡¡ This works ;)

  1. Log out Paypal account
  2. clearing browser cache and cookies (I use firefox).
  3. Go to developer.paypal.com and login with the real paypal account (not the Sandbox one)
  4. Go to Applications
  5. Click on Sandbox accounts
  6. (Optional) Import your old accounts from your former Sandbox account after the redirect to the accounts page
  7. Create a test account if one doesn't already exist
  8. Click link Enter Sandbox site
  9. Log in to that site using your test business account
  10. Go to Profile -> My Selling Tools -> API Access
  11. Click to Request API Credentials
  12. Choose the option that solves your needs
  13. The API credentials were created !!! (they will appear in your test account profile)

There are some issues with the Credentials not appearing for some accounts. Currently you are logged into the developer account. Try logging into the actual sandbox seller account, and going to the profile and requesting the credentials. You should be able to view these from within the Sandbox seller account, and if they have not been requested yet, you can generate these.
