Hello,
I'm getting close to turn my shopping cart on but I wanted to make sure that IPN works with paypal. www.eliteweaver.co.uk/testing/ipntest.php that test mode uses is a dead so I was curious if anyone knows how I can test to make sure IPN works?
Paypal has one on the developer site. http://developer.paypal.com/ (http://developer.paypal.com/) This site you will want to use a different email address than your current paypal account.
I have been trying to use the PayPal sandbox, but when I test the IPN I get an error
Hello,
A fatal error occured while processing a paypal transaction.
----------------------------------
Hostname: www.eliteweaver.co.uk
URI: /testing/ipntest.php
php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution (0)
Status: FAILED
That's using the url that is given in the VM Paypal configuration for test. What should I set the PayPal Sandbox IPN Handler URl to?
If anyone has an idiots guide to using the Sandbox, I could do with it, as I can't figure out how to link it to my site.
Ok, I was feeling really dim :-[
I read the sticky post and got it figured out; I hadn't realised I needed to change the url in Payment Extra Info. Now have the sandbox working.
Do you mean the $url field?
I changed that to https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr and I'm still getting the failed IPN error :(
If you changed something else can you let me know - thanks!
Regards,
Karen
I read through that post again for paypal set up and realised that I had debug set to YES when it should be set to NO. Now I'm getting confirmations through...
Another issue sorted :-)
