unable to use paypal sandbox

[justdogwalking.com]

Hi

I have set up a paypal buyer sandbox (pb 1.3.2)

However when I try to complete a trial purchase by clicking on the paypal box i get a blank page with the just paypal sandbox heading.

Is there a problem? or have I missed something in the sttings in PS?

as It all seemed to work when trialing PB1.3.1

Thanks

I can't help since I am setting it up myself. But perhaps you can share how you set up the sandbox - I have looked everywhere on this forum with no straight and direct information.

Hi I'll try my best to recall how I eventually got it going.

You need to go into the developers area - I think you will need to set up an account.

Then in the developers area look for the setting up a sandbox account
I set up 2 sandboxes - one as a buyer and one as the seller.

Each has its own username and pass word based on email addresses so you need lots of email addresses.
Within each account it sets up a unique account identifyer and password which I learn't not to worry about. (I think)

Once set up go back to prestashop

when you pay for an item it should take you to paypal sign in
sign in using the email address and password YOU assigned to that account not the one paypal creates.
this should let you into the sandbox account (it should say test site at the bottom of the page)

Complete the transaction and there you go.
You should be able to access the seller account in the same way to see the dummy money accumulating.

Any probls let me know and I will try and help.

Good luck

Yes, got it working now, thanks.

Only couple of tips I can give you which I found on another thread are:

Check the error log in your cpanel.
Ensure your folder permissions are set to 755.

Hope it helps, it just helped me - I had an error also in that I could get through the payment but nothing processed and only error emails received.
