Joom 2.5
Payment method Paypal....NOT PRO
On Checkout... If I use real payment,all is good at paypal.
On checkout to Sandbox, all I get is login screen...
Totally different to real payment, which shows
the order and gives options of payng eytc.
I don't believe its possible to use the sandbox
with the Paypal payment (not Pro), cause surely to get into
sandbox the API info would have to be posted with the order.
There is no way of including API stuff in this method that I can see.
Am I right??

Hi,

If you want to use the sandbox, you just need to configure your sandbox account (a buyer and a seller), set the seller account of your sandbox account in the paypal plugin options and change the URL in these options to use the sandbox URL: www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr
That's all there is to it. You don't need to enter any API information for that.

Yes Nicolas I am WRONG!!!
Works fine now....after many hours.
Paypal is a rather dense site.
I think I would like to do a
tutorial on how to get the
Sandbox going, so others don't
get as frustrated as I have been.
On the other hand I am extremely impatient.
So maybe ...just maybe the density is mine.
