I am trying to set up my site with drupal's ecommerce module. One thing that is very unclear to me are the two paypal settings paypal reciever url and paypal processing url. I am testing using paypals dev sandbox and have read a couple of articles but none seem to be really all that specific with what I should use for these to variables.

Can someone who has set their site up to use this module tell me what I should put in for these variables?

I followed the paypal's docs using https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr for the paypal processing url but first I had to change somethings.

I had to enable the address module to get it to forward to paypal. Is there anyway of getting around this? I am using civicrm to manage my users' contact information and I don't want them to have to enter their data twice.

Another issue I found was that I was directed to the sandbox site where my test user could sign up. After I logged in as my test user I was forwarded to the default user account screen and not the checkout processing page. Has this happened to anyone before?

Please let me know if anyone has run into this situation before.

Reading the paypal document websites payment standard integration guide,
https://www.paypal.com/en_US/pdf/PP_WebsitePaymentsStandard_IntegrationG...

page 19 shows that I should be forwarded to the paypal confirmation page where I should see the checkout page with a login option. Currently I am just being forwarded to the login page and I don't see the checkout page that relates to my checkout cart in Drupal.

Am I missing something here?

Once a customer forwarded to the papal website a login option is given, in case the customer is a returning customer to checkout in expediated manner without giving his information again. For new or a returning, if decided, in that same page there is a choice to make in a collapsed form to give credit card/bank information and proceed to checkout without login. You need to expand that option it is normally does not stand out.

When you get transfered from your ecommerce site to paypal normally the toltal amount and some additional product detail is also transfered. I believe that must be there right in the first screen after you transfered to the paypal website.
