# Sandbox Error

 * Hi,
 * This plugin is so great and usable. I’m testing my site (and camptix) on a local
   server before I upload it to the web.
 * I can set up tickets perfectly, and they look great. But when I try to test purchase,
   I get the error “A payment error has occurred, looks like chosen payment method
   is not responding. Please try again later.”
 * I know some other people have had this issue resolved, but I can’t seem to figure
   out what’s wrong. Could it have anything to do with the fact that I’m on a local
   server?
 * I’ve created a PayPal developer account and received all the API details for 
   a merchant account. I’ve copy and pasted them into the payment setup fields dozens
   of times and made sure sandbox mode was enabled.
 * Any help you can provide would be wonderful. Thanks!

 * Hi there! Are you sure you’ve created a Sandbox account and got your Sandbox 
   API credentials and not your actual credentials? The sandbox checkbox will work
   only with Sandbox API credentials obtained at sandbox.paypal.com.

 * Hi!
 * Yeah, I logged into sandbox.paypal.com, went to Profile > API Access > View API
   Signature, and copied that into the payment setup fields on my test site.
 * Would it be helpful if I sent you my sandbox API details?

 * Not really, but it would be helpful if you installed a plugin called Core Control,
   enabled the HTTP Logging module and figured out what the PayPal error says.

 * I just tested it on one of the live sites I run, and it worked perfectly. It 
   must be some sort of error with using a local server. Hmm…
 * Thanks for your prompt replies and all your help, though!
