looks like PayPal changed things up a bit. Try clicking on the "Classic APIs link"
https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/de … s/classic/and then the "test your integration" link:
I think for the time being I should sell the digital downloads and just send it after payment. Once I get money rolling I will purchase publisher. So your saying publisher takes the hard manual work out of delivering digital downloads?
Offline
Publisher can automatically create and upload the renditions for the digital purchases. The Cart will take care of delivery (depending on how you've set up your digital delivery preferences).
Publisher will save you a lot of time and headache. Not only can it create the digital download renditions but it will alleviate the requirement to export and upload each and every gallery you want to put on line. And at only $35 it will most likely pay for itself in time saved with your first couple of sales.

This setting up a test app is blowing my mind.

So I have to submit for testing credentials from paypal? This is way over my head. They want proof of business and files uploaded.....I don't think I can do this. Is the "test credentials" different than the "Live credentials"?

I believe the test and live credentials are different.
You might want to wait for Ben.

I don't understand why I'm having to test software that I purchased to do the job it described. I paid $110 for a gallery and cart software that integrated paypal for checkout. Why am I testing it, shouldn't it work already? I hope I'm not coming across wrong but this is aggravating. I understand installing and setting up, but testing shouldn't be required. I'm sitting here trying to get this to work when I shouldn't have to worry, mean while I have customers waiting on me and I desperately need their money. The longer they have to wait the less likely they will buy. You have a limited time for customers to buy after an event or they loose interest.

Test credentials mean those used in Paypal's Sandbox. Any transactions going through with test credentials are for your testing that the cart settings you have set work exactly as you intend, without the need to create real transactions on a PayPal account or credit card. This is not a test of whether the cart works or is buggy.
This ability to use test credentials is for your peace of mind. If you are confident that you have set up your products and prices correctly then by all means go ahead with live credentials.

Like I said, I apologize if I come across wrong but this is much more than I thought it would be. I really need this to work now.

well then you need to enable the cart in the gallery like I mentioned earlier. Right now the gallery is not connected to the cart. You won't be able to test functionality or go live until you do that.

Yes Sir, I have done that and I just uploaded it with the new settings.

I get that you're finding the PayPal setup process frustrating; we do as well. What you're having to do is not a limitation of the CE4 Cart product; it's simply how PayPal works (or doesn't work, depending ...). And they keep changing it, seemingly adding more hoops to jump through ... but if you're planning to use PayPal from applications running on your own site, then this is the process, whether using our cart or something else. We've attempted to make this process as painless as we can make it, but PayPal has other ideas ...
We can only encourage you to stick it through, and help you with the prescribed process. Also, you can run the cart without online payments -- manually collect payment and update the transaction status -- if you need to go that route. So if you can't get PayPal to play nice on your deadline, that's an option while you sort out payments.

I see that your server is automatically adding JavaScript to the end of every request, e.g.
<script type="text/javascript">(function (d, w) {var x = d.getElementsByTagName('SCRIPT')[0];var f = function () {var s = d.createElement('SCRIPT');s.type = 'text/javascript';s.async = true;s.src = "//np.lexity.com/embed/YW/6db414379341ed578c337c401b740d27?id=51c0cb92f84b";x.parentNode.insertBefore(s, x);};w.attachEvent ? w.attachEvent('onload',f) :w.addEventListener('load',f,false);}(document, window));</script>This is not good. This script is even added to the background page requests that galleries make to communicate with the cart, and causes the cart to fail completely.
This appears to be created by a Yahoo-specific plugin E-commerce plugin called Lexity. I suggest that you try and find a setting to disable this plugin within your Yahoo account settings. Failing that, you'll need to contact Yahoo support.
Yahoo should under no circumstances append JavaScript to the responses that the cart has made clearly as "application/json" content. It is not something we can code around and is very poor form on Yahoo's part.

Looks like I can't disable it so I guess I will look for another hosting company. More hurdles for me, I've had yahoo for 10 years. I know nothing about transferring domains or how to carry my site over.
Offline
It's actually not too hard and the hosting company you choose should have all the instructions
Bluehost has instructions with video
https://my.bluehost.com/hosting/help/domains-transfer
Yahoo should also have documentation for moving away from them.

Well after having this cart for awhile, I still have gotten it to work. Kind of bummed with the money spent. I have change from yahoo hosting to godaddy. If this doesn't work, I give up. Very frustrated and have lost numerous orders because the checkout process didn't complete.

GoDaddy has been problematic for some.
At any rate, post links! We can't help if we can't see anything.

Great so GoDaddy could be a problem as well. I'll make a small gallery for testing but I still don't understand the sandbox testing and how to do it in paypal.
Offline
well, just work on getting a cart enabled gallery online at first. Enable Transactionless checkout
have you seen this on PayPal credentials?

Yes, the only issue I have right now is when I click on a pic to view it, at pops up but no shopping cart to view sizes.

The cart icon is appearing on the large images, just not on the thumbnails.
make sure that in CE4 Gallery > Output Settings > Shopping Cart Integration : Display Add-to-Cart Buttons on Grid is checked.
the other issue you'll have is in the add to cart pop-up dialog. Since you're gallery is using the color white for fonts, and that color is used for some of the text in the add to cart pop-up, some of the text in the Add to Cart dialog will be invisible since it's the same color of the background.
This can be fixed with custom css. See: http://community.theturninggate.net/top … howing-up/

Not sure I follow. Did you change the galleries base font color??
The cart icon is appearing in the upper right of your large images. It's not appearing on the thumbnails.
I can click on the cart icon and see the sizes you're offering. I can add an item to your cart and then I can view the cart. All seems to be working.

In the add the item to cart popup I can't see all the text because of the text colors being the same as the back ground color.
