Mock payments for student projects

I need to create as my first year project a php application that requires to handle payments. The business model I would like to implement requires that I have to both receive and make payments to the customers (basically I need to handle transactions between 2 customers, and I get a small fee of the transaction value).

I have never used any payment API, but that's not the point. The problem is that I would like something that has a sandbox mode where I can experiment and does not require business/premium accounts or to make bank requests. I was thinking about PayPal, but it seems it requires a business account.

Is there such an API?

Look at PayPal Adaptive Payments. You can get up and running in the sandbox very easily.

Specifically, you'll want to look at the Pay API.

Business account is only for production API. For development you use sandbox and there's no such requirement.

You can use Stripe, which has a great API and a testing mode: https://stripe.com/docs/testing

It's free and there is no "premium account".
