I have set-up everything I need to test my app in the Paypal Sandbox.

However, I was having this issue: My app was submitting transactions in EUR, but, apparently, the sandbox needed USD, otherwise the transaction would not complete. I changed it to USD and everything worked fine.

So, now I need to change my sandbox settings to accept EUR, but I cannot find any place to do this.

How can I set my sandbox account so it can accept EUR as the default and convert USD to EUR?

The default currency is decided by the country you choose when you create the account. To automatically accepet transactions that are not in your default currency you can choose "Allow payments sent to me in a currency I do not hold:" from here

    Thanks. I actually found that and changed it, but I see now the change didn't take the first time. It works fine now. – Lee Loftiss May 17 '14 at 03:15

  • Just the case to : go to your Business Dashboard> payment preferences > Yes, accept and convert them to dollar* (*your default currency) – Portekoi May 09 '22 at 19:46
