How do I install paypal fast and easy I am burning my brain out?

hello

I can´t follow the instructions I found here about paypal installation

I don´t know if the layout of the paypal pages has changed or what, but I can find the links that are listed in the tutorials

And the sandbox make it all more difficult I just go around in circles in there and there is nothing to install is a nightmare,

paypal web pages are far from user friendly, 0 usability technology in the design, please help I am getting bold tearing out my hair trying to make my way in this :cry::yuck:

Paypal sandbox allows you to create 2 accounts. The owner and the buyer. You will use these accounts to test how your cart behaves when somebody buys from you.

After you login on the paypal sandbox, you will see the API Credentials menu. You will need the details you see here in your MODULES > PAYMENTS > PAYPAL EXPRESS CHECKOUT

There is also an INSTALL button if your paypal express checkout is not activated (in your zencart).

Choose SANDBOX from the LIVE OR SANDBOX option.

After which, test purchase your cart using the BUYER account you created in your sandbox.

The sandbox is notoriously unreliable. Turn it on live and just go for it.

Thank you guys for your fast response :D

well I agree with kim sandbox sucks big time

I got my buyer account and the seller account and buy a product in my web page but then it sends me to the real paypal so i can´t log in with a test account.

The problem with my real account was that for some reason I didn´t have a business account, and I thought I had upgrade it, with the cheeking of my credit card, but was wrong.

so now I can see the links missing for IPN

well I want to get some steps backward with my questions

in the check out form in my zencart store i HAVE THIS OPTIONS

• MODULE_PAYMENT_CC_TEXT_CATALOG_TITLE

• MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_TEXT_CATALOG_LOGO

what kind of description is this and how can I change this for sombody to understand them, I went to developer toll in the admin area to find where they are located to see if I can change that description but didn´t find them

I have another question in my spanish version

in the module/payments I get this

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '/home/nomo1/public_html/includes/languages/spanish/modules/payment/paypal.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/php52/pear') in /home/nomo1/public_html/admin/modules.php on line 173

what its mean I don´t get this in the english version

thank you for your guidance :smile:

The above article should help you to add the missing defines in your Spanish translation.

Thank you I knew it was something like this, the problem is I don´t know where I need to make the changes, Y try to find that using the developer tools in the admin, but I can find it with it.

Have you an idea where I can find them to put there the proper text?

thank you

I just realize that those things were telling me exactly where to find them

so I think that is solved, but this:

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '/home/nomo1/public_html/includes/languages/spanish/modules/payment/paypal.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/php52/pear') in /home/nomo1/public_html/admin/modules.php on line 173

Here is home? : /home/nomo1/public_html/admin/modules.php on line 173

I am lost,

Going back to the TEXT thing

I found INCLUDES/MODULE/PAYMENT/PAYPAL.PHP trying to change * MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_TEXT_CATALOG_LOGO

But i realy don´t know what shoul I change there :wacko:
