Title: PayPal Payment Test
Post by: wivelden on January 27, 2009, 06:01:35 AM

I have been trying to do a test payment using the sandbox site on Paypal but I cant get it to work.
Can anyone give me a guide on how to use the test mode on virtuemart and do a transaction test so I can see everything works as it should please?

Yea I found that thread after posting this. However paypal keeps asking me to login to the developer site even though I am. I have heard other people having trouble with this too.

I too get that message occasionally. So I open another browser tab, log into the developer site and then everthing works fine. I guess that as long as a valid browser session is maintained for the developer site transactions occur without probs.
