Title: Setting up Paypal payment method
Post by: perdikas75 on July 05, 2016, 12:51:17 PM
Hello I am new in setting up  eshops and I am lost a little bit.

I have setup an eshop with joomla 3.5.1 and virtuemart 3.0.16.

I want to use ONLY the Paypal Standard Payment Method.

I followed these steps:
•   Created the payment method in Virtuemart
•   Created an account in Paypal and made tests in Sandbox successfully
•   Created another Bussiness account in Paypal with companies name and linked a bank account and a credit card and I am waiting for the account verification.

What is next in order to go live with Paypal?

Is it necessary to register the virtuemart in paypal.developer site or I just change the configuration of my payment method by
1st  turning the Shop Environment from sandbox to production
2nd changing the Sandbox Merchant Email with the Merchant Email?

Do I miss anything? Is it so simple?

And two more questions...
I have the IPN in my paypal sandbox disabled and I don't have problem in my transactions is this normal?
If want later to add the Payment Method Paypal Payment Pro do I have to register my site to paypal.developer?

it is that simple

email in the box .. select std

works -- no pro needed, no ipn config needed

when something is so simple is getting confusing
