   1  Testing Paypal
   2  --------------
   3  The paypal sandbox works just like regular paypal (with transactions and everything)
   4  except no actual money gets transferred. It allows you to create mock accounts (seller
   5  and buyer) and create transactions between them.
   6  
   7  1. Sign up for an account at developer.paypal.com, receive the activation e-mail and
   8     activate the account
   9  2. Log in, go to "test accounts" and create a business (seller) account and personal
  10     (buyer) account.
  11  3. In whichever module you're using that uses simple_paypal, set the paypal e-mail
  12     address to your business account e-mail address.
  13  4. In /admin/settings/paypal, be sure to select the paypal sandbox URL.
  14  
  15  That's it. When a transaction has been completed, paypal should send a POST request to
  16  the URL specified at the 'notify_url' variable.
