How long does it take for zencart to setup paypal?

I set up my paypal information in zencart, and it's saying "processing", how long does it take until it's setup?

thanks

processing is an order status not paypal activation status

That's what it says in my control panel. When I view payment methods. Next to money order/check it says, "default" then there's the green button. Next to paypal it says, "processing". I tried to do a test transaction, and it wouldn't go to the page after you click "pay with paypal".

Are you saying it's supposed to be setup instantly?

which paypal module are you usiong,
and please include a screenshot so we can see exactly whart you are refering to ,

the processing tag means that you have received the order and the order is processing,

I understand now what you're talking about where it says "processing", so that doesn't have anything to do with this problem. I'm not sure what you mean when you say module, I set it up with API - paypal express checkout. I put in the API username, password, signature, etc.. that was provided from paypal, copy/pasted.

When I click "paypal express checkout" on my order, it just says, "waiting to connect" (on my browser) and then goes to a blank page.
