Step 2:  Set Button To Sandbox Mode

1. Visit SPC >> Manage Button page.

2. You can switch button mode from live to sandbox or vice-versa.

Step 3:  Test using test card numbers.

The sandbox functions like our production environment. However, no actual card processing is performed. The sandbox only simulates connections to the card networks, but no actual card payments are processed.

For PayPal, you will have to create a PayPal buyer account in your PayPal Sandbox account and use that to test PayPal purchases. See this post on how to create a PayPal Sandbox Account.
