Once I finish designing my Shopping Cart site (if I can!) with SCDpro and SCCpro, how do I go about testing whether or not it works with PayPal without actually making purchases?

Thanks for any assistance. I fell completely out of sorts with this SCCpro and SCDpro:(

You setup a sandbox.

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Or open second paypal account with different credit card,

Make real transactions from new account, and then re fund them, i do it all the time as i couldn't workout how to get sandbox working for me.

Paypal expect us to do this so theres no query when refunding

I've known some people to set an item at 1 cent to use for testing. You can do a lot of transactions without breaking the bank. Learning how to handle refunds would be useful, too :)

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll see if I can get the sandbox to work. If not I'll do the 1 cent purchases.

Thanks again.
