WP eStore – Sanbox not working while using direct checkout (buy now).

[Kaleed]

Hi, I tried everything and followed all instructions carefully. But it seems like sanbox mode is not working with buy now shortcode options.

Its not a paypal issue because I also tried using a authorize.net sandbox API ID and Transaction key, it works fine except in buy now (same error message too).

The direct checkout/buy now is essential to the membership site, we are not using buttons, only pricing table so we were hoping that he link for direct checkout would work.

Tried [http://example.com/?wp_eStore_buy_now=2] (my actual domain of course) and it redirects to this error: “HTTP Status 405 – Request method ‘POST’ not supported”

All the other buy now shortcodes do the same thing.

Yes -> created both merchant and buyer sandbox accounts.

Yes -> IPN enabled in Paypal

Yes -> using merchant sand box email in gateway settings

Yes -> Debug enabled (but nothing written in debug file)

Yes -> debug file permissions set to 644 via FTP

Yes -> Sanbbox mode enabled

YES -> Enabled “Use Automatic Post Payment Processing” in settings

Yes -> No maintenance plugin active

Yes -> logged in as both sandbox merchant and buyer

Yes -> followed every documentation I can possibly think of

I’m out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated.

This is an issue with your webserver. HTTP POST shoud work on all server. Your server is not supporting it.

You should ask your hosting provider and show them the following message. They will know what configuration to fix in the server for this.

HTTP Status 405 - Request method 'POST' not supported

Hi,

Ok so I had a long talk with my hosting company, they checked the Apache log files, no errors found. They also walked through the payment process with me to see the problem in action, but it seems like the errors are found on sandbox.paypal.com site, so they said its not a server issue since the error is not shown on the site directly. It has to do more with the method used.

So here I am again in square one. It seems like all shortcodes work fine with paypal sandbox except the direct post linking method.

Also, for some reason it doesn’t show the 405 error message anymore, instead it shows “Cannot POST /webapps/mpp/home-general?” on the paypal sanbox site.

For the sake of testing your Buy Now button, and not (wasting time) testing PayPal’s sandbox mode; does it work if you try a live payment?
