Substruct

To use it in "test mode" Checkout the latest and greatest, code, create a sandbox merchant account, put it in your substruct admin prefs (make sure your store is in test mode), add the right url to paypal's IPN setup (a paypal setup on their site for the merchant, within sandbox) (url must be public), then checkout using another 'normal' sandbox account. Should work--if the paypal code is working. Good luck!

@rogerpack2005 Thank you for that. It helped me!

I've gotten paypal integration setup, but the email functionality is not quite working. Can anyone give me a quick overview of how they got their SMTP stuff all set up and configured? I tried using my gmail account and accessing gmail's free SMTP server without any luck :(

Extra Info: I'm not running an SMTP server on my dev machine nor any other machine, but I am running Substruct, MySQL, Apache, and Mongrel on my dev box.

So I'm assuming I need to use a 3rd party, any tips on good, free ones I can use just for development? I can switch to a full-on SMTP server when I move everything to production.

FYI, when I tried using gmails I set "SMTP Authentication Type" to 'login', "SMTP Username" to my gmail address, "SMTP Mail Host" to 'smtp.gmail.com', "SMTP Port" to 587, and set my "SMTP Password" to my gmail password. -- But I'm still not getting mails from my test orders through Paypal's Sandbox and my orders are still "on hold - awaiting payment".

Thanks for all your help!

Did you enabled po3 services in your gmail account? Baldaris

note: apparently you don't actually need to enter your paypal password in the admin/preferences required?
