Please log in to use Sandbox PayPal features when using the PayPal sandbox

Question

I use paypal sandbox for a payment gateway, this is the first time I try to create an inbuild payment gateway on my website ...

I just used the form tag as follows

<form target="paypal" method="post" action="http://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"> 

with other details, I tried both http and https here ...

but he sends me to a page where he asks me to log in to PayPal with the following message, "Please log in to use the PayPal Sandbox features."

Please help me, I have no idea what to do now. Am, I am doing something wrong in the code, or I am following the wrong procedure, so please tell me which procedure to create the PayPal service on the site.

The PayPal sandbox works as follows. First, you create a generic “Sandbox Developer Account”. Usually you do this using your own email address.

Then, within this “Sandbox Developer Account”, you create “Test Accounts”. PayPal will automatically generate email addresses for these accounts, and they end quite a while and are incomprehensible. These are accounts that will actually buy and sell items using Sandbox at PayPal.

To view any page in Sandbox for PayPal, you need to be logged in using your parent Sandbox developer account. You will then be allowed to send carts to the Sandbox or enter the Sandbox using one of the test accounts.

You go to your Sandbox Developer Account by going to developer.kiva.org.
