Test Paypal Payments

How to configure a development system to receive paypal payments

Edit your local_conf.rb configuration file:

UserSystem::CONFIG[:paypal_id] = 'receiver@email-provider.com' # who will receive payments.

# set AM in test mode
ActiveMerchant::Billing::Base.gateway_mode == :test
ActiveMerchant::Billing::Base.integration_mode = :test

To receive paypal notifications, you should use a real IP address and breakout should be configured to generate such urls, before posting to paypal, check the generated html and look if all urls that will be posted to paypal are fine (notify, cancel,etc.)

Restart rails if it is running. Now you should be able to do paypal sandbox payments.
