How do I access the Sandbox account associated with my REST API test credentials?

Here's how:

  1. Log in to your PayPal Developer account.
  2. Go to Testing Tools > Sandbox Accounts.
  3. Find the email address of the business account you specified in your application.
  4. Select the (…) button on the side > View/Edit Account.
  5. Copy the email address.
  6. Log in to the account on Sandbox using the email address. 

Note: The default password is "11111111." However, you can click Change Password in the developer portal to set a different password for this account.
