How do I set up PayPal ?

I'm still new to this... I have been in many other threads learning the cart but I'm at the point of inserting the paypal payment method as the only method of payment. I'm not sure how to go about this so if someone can point me in the right direction. Sorry if this is such a novice question??

My cart is this:

Thanks to all

Re: How do I set up PayPal ?

  1. Here's an instruction page for getting the PayPal side set up for Express Checkout: http://www.zen-cart.com/getpaypal
  2. Admin->Modules->Payment
  3. Click on PayPal Express Checkout
  4. Fill in the fields. For the API Signature etc info, use what you gathered during the PayPal account setup phase.
  5. Do a test transaction.

There's a lot more reading on setting up the PayPal IPN module here:
http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/PayPal

If you haven't already, you should get yourself a copy of the eStart Your Web Store with Zen Cart book. It deals with this and many other aspects of setup.
