Set “Transaction Process Mode” to Live

Modern versions of the PayPal API have some difference between their development and production services. If you place an order with a fake credit card and you get a transaction declined, then the configuration of your PayPal account is correct.

If you are receiving errors stating issues with references, then try going to https://manager.paypal.com/tranxInfo.do?subaction=showtranxSettings, and setting “Allow reference transactions” to yes. You may need to contact PayPal to assist with this setting.
