PayPal says my keys are wrong or Sandbox

Use Live keys from developer.paypal.com with Test mode unticked. Sandbox keys only work with Test mode ticked.

  1. On developer.paypal.com open Apps & Credentials.
  2. Switch the toggle at the top to Live.
  3. Open (or create) your app and copy the Client ID and Secret again.
  4. In Elite Store, paste them with Test mode unticked, then Connect & verify.
Connect PayPal: Live keys, Test mode unticked.
Connect PayPal: Live keys, Test mode unticked.

If you pasted Sandbox (test) keys without ticking Test mode, Elite Store stops you, because buyers couldn’t pay you real money.
