Paypal Sandbox transactions are not shown in test account .NET SDK

This has been asked a couple of times but I still haven't figured out how to make it work on the .NET SDK https://github.com/paypal/PayPal-NET-SDK:

After calling 

payment.Create(apiContext)

I sucessfully get back response with a populated createdTime,PayID,links,etc.

Now when I log into paypal sandbox with the buyer/seller test accounts. I'm not able to see the transaction

This popular question points to calling DoExpressCheckoutPayment to resolve this issue. After doing some research in how I could call DoExpressCheckoutPayment this with .NET SDK, the only way I found was using a previous version of the SDK (https://github.com/paypal/merchant-sdk-dotnet) which is marked as deprecated

I'm kind of lost trying to figure out something that shouldn't be so difficult I followed the example here and I belive that it should work without any additional thing

The SDK you are referring to is for the (relatively) new REST API.

Assuming You are referring to a paypal payment (not credit_card) so you have to execute it - which I would map to DoExpressCheckoutPayment in the Classic API

The SDK has a sample for it: PaymentWithPayPal.aspx.cs wherein In the sample you referenced, you'll see the execute call in line 155

A sample for credit_card with intent='sale' (which means auth and capture in one step, or "immediate capture") is in PaymentWithCreditCard.aspx.cs

Hth...

Update:

The paymentExecution was missing

Actually it's all there in lines 146 - 155:

 var paymentExecution = new PaymentExecution() { payer_id = payerId };
 var payment = new Payment() { id = paymentId };

 // ^ Ignore workflow code segment
 #region Track Workflow
 this.flow.AddNewRequest("Execute PayPal payment", payment);
 #endregion

 // Execute the payment.
 var executedPayment = payment.Execute(apiContext, paymentExecution);

Hth..

You are right. The paymentExecution was missing It such a shame that the SDK samples are incomplete. I'll try to reach the author as I wouldn't like anybody else to get stuck as I did.

I made it work after Checking the paypal REST API doc I'd recommend going through this doc instead of the .NET SDK examples
