Shadowfox Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hello All,When I do a test purchase with the PayPal in sandbox mode, the order doesn't get posted in 'Orders' section...is that on purpose or do I have a bug?Dave I too would like to know if this happens on purpose because its a test or because its an error. I just ran the same test and didnt see anything in the orders list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadave Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 I would find it much more reassuring if they'd put the fake orders in the orders section and even send fake email notifications.I haven't heard from anybody yet on this.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just used the PaypalAPI Module out and it works perfects (Sandbox Mode and Live Mode) It even posted the info to the orders page(Backoffice), The Customers Page, (Front Office) and I saw the email come through it works perfectly. If you require Instruction on what I did to get everything working perfectly let me know and I'l write a Step By Step Guide for you(Not Complicated I promise).

canadave Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Thanks for the tips!...anything you can tell me would be appreciated. I'm in an awkward position in that I'm setting this up for somebody else and I can't control their paypal account. I guess you need the login and password to the paypal account to set up PayPal API?...all I have is the paypal email for the account.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadave Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hey Shadowfox,I'm still working on it...it needs SSL and I'm trying to get that working on the site. On the upside, I got the Paypal API credentials from my client so if the sandbox test works for orders and email notifications, then I'm good to go.Your instructions are excellent...clear and easy to follow. One question: I have to turn on 'Enable SSL' on the main preferences tab?I hope the SSL doesn't screw up my theme...I worked hard on it...Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadave Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Well, I mentioned the SSL messing up themes because at the bottom of the preferences tab, there is: 'My shop use a PrestaShop v1.1 theme (SSL will generate warnings in customer browser)'...I copied the 'Prestashop' main theme and modified it...

canadave Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 so...every time I press the 'checkout' button, it empties out my cart?Question...if you're going to use SSL, do you have to install Prestashop under the SSL?...it seems to me that links will be different...http versus https ? It seems that smarty and thickbox compile the http or https into the files during install?I installed under a http...now I'm trying to work under a https and it keeps jumping in and out of secure mode?Do I have to reinstall Prestashop again?

canadave Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 I got through all my SSL issues now...a couple of tweaks in INIT.PHP to fix.i can get through the whole process now and log into paypal sandbox with fake buyers account but when I press the 'Pay Now' button, it just churns endlessly...I've let it go for like 20 minutes.Any thoughts?...anybody?

canadave Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 It's working!!111!11!!1eleventy!!!!Thanks for the help Shadowfox I got a question...the plain Paypal module, once you went to Paypal it just left you there so you could print a receipt and stuff and the PaypalAPI one just kicks you back to your store...is there any way to make it stay in paypal so they can print a receipt and just press that 'Return to Store' button in Paypal to return to the store?...just wondering if it's possible.Anyway, orders now show in the orders...mails get dispatched...life is getting better Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
