Paypal Test Mode Doesn't Work

[Duskfall]

While live mode seems to work properly, i have tried the test mode to make test purchases.

I have already setup a sandbox account and credentials but when i press the paypal button in my eshop i get this error

• Send with CURL method failed ! Error: error:14094410:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert handshake failure
• Connect failed with fsockopen method

I have the latest module version and Prestashop 1.6.1.3 version.

Edit: Also tried 1.6.1.4 version.

I present one log of the module:

 

Result :

 

Logs : Array

(

[0] => Making new connection to 'api-3t.sandbox.paypal.com/nvp'

[1] => Connect with CURL method successful

[2] => <b>Sending this params:</b>

[3] => METHOD=SetExpressCheckout&VERSION=106&PWD=test&USER=test&SIGNATURE=test&CANCELURL=test&RETURNURL=test&NOSHIPPING=1&BUTTONSOURCE=PRESTASHOP_EC&L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_NUMBER0=9&L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_NAME0=test&L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_DESC0=...&L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT0=0.84&L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_QTY0=5&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_PAYMENTACTION=Sale&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_CURRENCYCODE=EUR&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPPINGAMT=2.00&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_ITEMAMT=4.2&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT=6.20&ADDROVERRIDE=1&EMAIL=test%40test.com&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTONAME=test&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTOPHONENUM=test&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTOSTREET=test&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTOSTREET2=test&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTOCITY=test&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTOSTATE=GR-54&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTOCOUNTRYCODE=GR&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTOZIP=56224&SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole&LANDINGPAGE=Login&USER=test&PWD=test&SIGNATURE=test

[4] => Send with CURL method failed ! Error: error:14094410:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert handshake failure

[5] => Connect failed with fsockopen method

)

 

Furthermore I can't see the PayPal images on backend they are showed as ?

The funny thing is that when i do a simple get with the querystring params in a browser i get a result with the token data etc.

Please advise!

Thanks

They disabled SSL v3 in Paypal sandbox.  There are changes that you need to make to the module so that it connects with TLS.  There was a post just a few days ago in this thread on what you need to do.

Thanks for the answer I have found something in a post indeed though not clear enough for me

 

For reference what i did was commenting out the two lines in the module in paypal_connect.php

//@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, defined('CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1') ? CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1 : 1);

//@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST, 'TLSv1');

Please try to contact the merchant:

This error means that your API keys are invalid.  If you want to use the sandbox, then you need to create a sandbox account

I created account and all seems work but status is waiting paypal payment. Is it correct or it must have payment accepted?
