Hi,

I am having a registration problem with PayPal Sandbox.

I can make the payment in sandbox mode and when the payment completes, I am clicking on "return to merchant" link. However, I get no confirmation email for the transaction.

Is this normal for PayPal Sandbox mode? I cannot continue to registration if I do not get the confirmation e-mail with the registration link

Please help...

Thanks

Yes, that's the way it behaves.

From WP Admin -> s2Member -> PayPal Options -> PayPal Account Details:

*Sandbox Tip* If you're testing your site through a PayPal® Sandbox account, please remember that Email Confirmations from s2Member will NOT be received after a test purchase. s2Member sends its Confirmation Emails to the PayPal® Email Address of the Customer. Since PayPal® Sandbox addresses are usually bogus ( for testing ), you will have to run live transactions before Email Confirmations from s2Member are received. That being said, all other s2Member functionality CAN be tested through a PayPal® Sandbox account. Email Confirmations are the only hang-up.
