Need Help Testing PayPal (Non-Indian User Needed)

Topic summary

An Indian dropshipping store owner (totsnpaws.com) needs help testing their PayPal integration, as Indian PayPal regulations prevent them from purchasing from their own store, even in non-INR currencies.

The Request:

  • Added a $0.50 test product to verify PayPal functionality
  • Seeking a non-Indian user to complete a test transaction
  • Promised immediate refund after confirmation

Test Results:

  • A user successfully completed the test payment
  • Initial error occurred when using PayPal button directly on product page with Canadian address
  • Payment processed successfully after updating to a US delivery address during checkout

Status: Issue resolved — PayPal integration confirmed working for international customers with proper address configuration.

I’m from India, running a dropshipping store (totsnpaws.com). I’ve set up PayPal on my Shopify store, but due to Indian PayPal rules, I can’t test the payment myself — Indian users can’t buy from my stores via PayPal, even in non-INR currencies.

I’ve added a test product for $0.50 on my store. If you’re outside India, could you please try making the payment just to confirm it works? I’ll refund it right after.

Would really appreciate the help!

Hi @vk18

I understand the PayPal restriction in India. You’ve gotten it right by including a lower priced test product. Perhaps someone outside India will be able to help test it. It’s a clever method to check if PayPal works worldwide. Good luck with totsnpaws. com!

Can you help me in this if you’re outside India?!

Hi Vk18,
It seems to be working! At first I got an error because I tried to use the PayPal button on the product page and I had a delivery address in Canada, but when I went through checkout and saw that it needed a US address, I updated the delivery address and then it went through just fine:

Hope that helps. Best wishes with your store.
