PayPal Sandbox Testing

[atadti]

I need to change the live PayPal URL

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr

to the PayPal testing Sandbox URL

https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr

for testing purposes.

I added the www.sandbox.paypal.com as an free site, and replaced the "live paypal " url in the paypal_submit.php file to the "test paypal" url.

After submitting a purchase, the browser will not direct me to the test site url of paypal. It gives the browser message "This page cannot be displayed."

What other php files do I need to modify so that I can test using PayPal's sandbox testing?

Hi
you need to do the followings to make paypal sandbox works with firstspot:

1) replace the following line in "cart.php"
<img src="http://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/logo/paypal_logo.gif" height=0 width=0>
with
<img src="http://www.sandbox.paypal.com/en_US/i/logo/logo_paypalSandbox_w_100x50.gif" height=0 width=0>
<img src="http://developer.paypal.com/en_US/i/logo/logo_paypalDeveloperCentral_w_100x50.gif" height=0 width=0>

2) add "paypal.com" as Exception Free Website (without quotes).

3) After starting firstspot, go to http://developer.paypal.com in one of your client machine. You might get a "page not found" error when you first access to the page. If so, please refresh it.

4)you can then test firstspot with paypal sandbox

Just to remind you that there might be an ipn error with sandbox, refer to http://paypal.forums.liveworld.com/thread.jspa?threadID=100002261
