How to create test account with PayPal Payments Pro (Use to represent yourself as a merchant using Pro) option selected in sandbox?

问题

I am unable to create Paypal sandbox test account with option PayPal Payments Pro (Use to represent yourself as a merchant using Pro). I selected the option during test account creation but when I viewed the details of that account, then it displayed

Account Type : Seller (Use to represent yourself as the merchant).

Please help me as I am unable to do credit card payment integration using sandbox as it is showing

error :

The API credentials in the Sandbox environment uses the default buyer account you have. You need to make sure to use the “payments pro” option when you create a buyer account in the sandbox environment. You’ll then see a new set of API credentials under API credentials…

Steps below:

1. Go to the link https://developer.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/devscr?cmd=_sandbox-acct-session and login with your sandbox credentials

2. And click on the link Preconfigured which will take you to https://developer.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/devscr?cmd=_create-account-session

3. From the options select Website Payments Pro (Use to represent yourself as a merchant using Pro) and create a Test Account and use these details for sandbox
