alternative pope Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Hi, I am a newbie gradually learning more every day, so any help will be most appreciated. I've finished adding products to my store, set up my Paypal account.. & yet I come to this section on the Admin page in the configuratio0n process & none of it makes sense to me! I click on Modules, & install 2 Paypal payment systems (can't remember exactly what they're called, but I signed up for a business account, so I didn't install the standard account setting on list). After clicking on edit & looking at all the options I was completely baffled! Apart from my Paypal email & password, I don't know what to put for 'Merchant Login ID', 'Partner', etc. And it doesn't seem right to me to enter my Paypal password! I wouldn't post this unless I was completely stuck. Thanx for readin! Quote

You need to know what payment module you are using. It sounds like you are using the standard paypal module, in which case a Merchant ID is not required so my guess is that you selected the wrong module to install.
