A secure way to test PayPal is to set up a PayPal test account. You can create a test account by visiting this web page:
PayPal offers two kinds of merchant accounts:
After registration, you can create the test account for the seller and buyer.
If we are going to use the PayPal service together with the Shop System (tt_products) extension, we need two extra extensions that we can find in the TYPO3 TER:
- Payment code library (paymentlib)
- Paypal Payment Suite (paymentlib_paypal)
When you use the Webformat Shop System (extendedshop) e-Commerce extension, you need an extra extension for the former for Paypal (wss_paypal).
For the extension's correct operation, you need to input some settings (identification of the seller—e-mail, path URL to PayPal, return URL to your website, and header image for PayPal) that are described in the extension manual.
Go to the Extension Manager, choose extension, and click on the extension title paymentlib_paypal.
A detailed overview of the extension will open. From the top drop-down menu, you can choose Settings and add the necessary information.
