Testing Almond Classifieds (Pro) with PayPal Module

  To test PayPal Module for Almond Classifieds (Pro) without real credit card processing and transactions you have to create testing PayPal accounts.

Log in and click on Sandbox button, then click Create Account link and create Premier Account with login e-mail (e.g. info1@yoursite.com). PayPal Developer Central allows to create an account with not real e-mails for testing. Then in the Home Page of PayPal Developer Central (http://developer.paypal.com) click on Email button.

In the Email area click the link 'Activate Your PayPal Account!', in this e-mail message copy the activation link and start it in a new browser window. You will be asked to enter your password for account confirmation. The first test account is created ! Log in into your account and in the area 'Activate Account' click the link 'Add Credit Card'.
