Testing credit card payment and paypal payment module

Hi Gurus

I am currently setting up for zencart shop (Long live Zencart)
now, i am in the final phase of testing my site with payment integration.

here is the scenario, i want to use paypal to accept payment for paypal and credit card. i am using zencart version 1.3.6

Is there anyway that i could test this setting?.

NOTE: all the module has been enabled, just normal testing would be required

please advise

Thanks so much in advance

Re: Testing credit card payment and paypal payment module

To test PayPal you can use your personal account and your business account to test ...

To test Credit Cards cc ... you can use 4111111111111111 and a valid date to test ...

Re: Testing credit card payment and paypal payment module

Here's a document explaining a number of things PayPal-related, including testing.
http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/PayPal#Testing_PayPal.E2.84.A2_Transactions

As Ajeh mentioned, you can use the 4111111111111111 number for testing, but if you're testing against a live server, it'll come back as failed.
To test a successful transaction, you can test with your personal card and then go refund the transaction, similar to the testing procedure mentioned above.

    This is normal. The basic Credit Card module in Zen Cart only stores the information so that you can process the credit card with your bank/merchant services separately.
    FAQ on using the module is here:
    https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=67
  1. Can i use paypal credit card payment integration?
  2. if yes, how?The only support for PayPal and Credit Cards as of v1.3.7 is to have the customer to choose by PayPal, and then select Credit Card on the PayPal site if they wish to do so.

Also remember a subtlety about PayPal: even if you select payment by credit card, they may take the money out of your PayPal account first before using the card.
