PayPal Sandbox
« on: 01 April 2009, 02:46 »
Hello,

I am testing Vodes on J! 1.5.10.
I configurated testing accounts on PyaPal Sandbox, but that does not seem to work : the transaction itself seems right, the identity of the buyer, seller, user name are correct, but when I returned on the site, the credits are not updated even though I have the message saying they are.
The email is not sent and the erro log shows a "Payment pending" message.

Does anyone succeeded to make it work on J 1.5 ?

Same problem here. It works fine but doesn't update the credits. Paypal Sandbox does everything correctly.
Checked everything and the log file stay empty

Joomla 1.5.11
in test enviroment as "localhost"

You can't test with PayPal on localhost!
How do you think PayPal servers are supposed to contact your site if it is located on http://localhost/ ? That address is on private network and can be accessed only by yourself, it is not opened to world.

So PayPal processing and sandbox will only work on a real domain opened to internet.

Thanks for the reply

Didn't think of that...  :-[ I will test it on a production server.
