Setting up paypal express checkout other checks

Hi

I've followed the instruction found here:
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=15

Are there any other checks I need to make in order to have this funtioning properly? Either within the zen cart interface or my paypal account

To be honest I'm gettin slightly confused as to what I need to do in order have this facility running on the site.

I've read the instructions in the Wiki and I've read the instruction in the zen cart manual/pdf. But as far as I can see they seem to relate to the setting up of the PayPal payments standard (IPN)

At the moment I've left unsure as to what I need to do next, is the case that once I've read the instruction on the page listed above that's it and no further action is needed?

Or should I continue with the instruction found on page 150 of the user guide, that instructs me to make changes to certain areas of my PayPal profile?


Regards
Patrick

Re: Setting up paypal express checkout other checks

I'm confused about what you mean by "other checks I need to make"?
What's leading you to that conclusion?

All the basic setup instructions you need to get Express Checkout running are listed in that article.

Hi DrByte

Sorry for the confusion, I was just wanting to make sure that there were no other options I need to look to in my PayPal account or in zen cart for that matter that I might need to enable.

It's just that having read the instruction for enabling the PayPal payment standard, the instructions for the Express Checkout seem really short.

Thanks
Patrick

Re: Setting up paypal express checkout other checks

EC works right away after you enter your API credentials. It's that simple.

It's still good to setup the IPN settings on your PayPal account side, since PayPal can use that to notify your store of status updates like cleared echecks and refunds etc. But that's secondary and not required in order to do payment transactions.
