Help configuring paypal on OsCommerce

[schatham]

I had a heckuva time trying to get confirmation emails from Paypal to even set up a Sandbox account. Once I finally got it set up, I am having trouble getting things to function.

 

If someone would be kind enough to step me thru what I need in order for it to function, I would appreciate any help.

 

I have the Websites Payments Standard enabled on OsCommerce, and the following are my settings:

Items in BOLD are what are selected or filled out on my shop.

 

The store (generally) functions as I want it to (still in test now). However, when I go to the checkout when using Paypal, it doesn't do like I kind of expect it to do. It forces me to a login, and I never see an option to pay in it, nor will it take me back to my website, which I think I need it to do in order to know I've got an order.

 

I would appreciate any guidance that someone who's been thru this before might be able to share or step me thru.

 

If you would like to see the store, it is at www.riverhousegiftandgourmet.com/shop

it is all in test now.

 

I would appreciate any assistance.
