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.
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!
Hi Vk18,
