Connecting Drupal 7 Ubercart with PayPal - paypal

This seems like it should be a relatively easy process. There are quite a few links that come up addressing the issue in a Google search and in searches here, but something is missing in actual implementation.
My client has a PayPal account already. I have Ubercart installed with products available. But, when I go to Store -> Payment Methods -> Credit Card Settings, I cannot see any place to enter PayPal API information. What am I missing?
Thanks!

After some searching and putting bits and pieces together, I found out that the problem wasn't with Ubercart at all!
I could not get any clear answers for the combination of Drupal 7, Ubercart and PayPal from any website that came up from a search.
All of the sites listed gave me instructions to do steps with form items that did not exist in the site.
I figured that there was possibly a PayPal module that I was missing, but I could not find one.
There is indeed a module, but it turns out that the module is part of the basic Ubercart install.
I could not enable this module.
Then I found out that the reason I could not enable it is that cURL was not enabled in the server. So, I enabled it in php.ini.
So, the problem was not with Drupal 7 or with Ubercart or with a module. The problem was a php.ini setting!

Woocommerce Follow Up Emails Plugin - email issue

OK so im just gonna ask this question, as I am at the end of the rope, with hopes someone out there will have some advice.
I have installed the Woocommerce Follow Up Emails plugin on my site, and for the life of me I cannot get it send the email.
The settings I have are:
Trigger: 3 days after the order total is above $1.00
Setting: Customer recieves the email once
There is nothing in the "scheduled emails" of the plugin showing up, however and this is the part that throws me off, in the Tools>Scheduled Actions of the wordpress dashboard i get multiple entries of the below:
which tells me that it the emails are being scheduled but are not being sent out (even though it says, action complete). I have checked the WPMail log nothing, i have checked Cpanel Email Tracking and theres nothing. I have a WP Cron plugin installed that tells me it is functioning correctly.
Does anybody have any ideas/suggestions that i could do or check that I havent done already? Is there something I'm missing?
Any help will greatly be appreciated.
P.S, I purchased the plugin from a third party site and cant ask Woocommerce for support without paying for subscription (which i will do as my absolute last resort)
The plugin works fine on my side, although it is very basic in its functionalities and you reach super quickly its limitations.
I'd suggest you buy the plugin from WC. They tend to have special offers of 30-50% off few times a year. Their support is typically very good and has a live chat so you get answers often directly.
Hope you got it figured out by now.

Masking an URL after redirect

We are building a SaaS solution which runs on SaaS.com for example. Our software should be white label for our resellers and their costumers. The costumers of our resellers are stored in an specific database witch is different for each reseller.
The reseller creates a button on his website [Login] which sends the customer resellerID.my.saas.com Our software gets the resellerID and selects the corresponding branding and database. This all works fine in an development environment at the moment.
We have only 1 thing which we need to solve and that is the url what the customer of the reseller sees in his browser. This is (after logging in) my.saas.com
We want that the customer of the reseller sees the domain of the reseller after they are redirected to our link (resellerid.my.saas.com), for example my.reseller.com
I googled a lot and asked our and 3th party developers how to solve this. Till now the only solution we found is using an iframe which has not our preference. This becouse this is not optimal for mobile views? and is out dated, isn't it?
I also tried to solve this with dns which i couldn't get done.
Is there any way to achieve what we want and when yes, how can we implement?
Hope on usefull responds becouse this part is verry crusial for our business.
Thanks in advance, Rogé

Drupal : form spammed but no form submissions

In despite of the few anti-spam modules I installed and configured, I still get a lot of spam in my mailbox from my Drupal site. The bots use a classic contact form, but the thing is, that there are no form submissions when I check the results page! Is it normal, considering they are bots?
I was thinking that they where perhaps using a google's cached version of the page.
Do you have any ideas? I don't know what to try or install anymore!
Try using BOTCHA MODULE of Drupal. It is very successful in preventing the BOTS submissions.

Easy to configure also.

Format for Return URL for PDT in PayPal

I have a Business Site and am using Sandbox to try to get PDT to work.
I set up return URL in selling preferences and turned PDT ON - but my Sandbox buyers do not get returned to the site.
There are warnings that if you do not format the return url properly then it will not work, but I cannot find any instruction as to what that format is. I am not sure if I specify the page I want to return to or just the root address which PayPal will something to.
I want to use it with an https, but I have also tried and failed with a different http site that I have.
Can you suggest what I might have forgotten to do?
It would be great if you could help me get started on this fairly fundamental point!
We have multiple sites that uses PayPal standard with PDT and IPN callbacks, when I switch this to sandbox mode things don't work but works outside of the sandbox. Try connecting to the live urls and see if that works, you can always refund payments if they go through.
In the posting url you can specify &return=XXX where XXX is the url encoded url back to your site
[This will override the setting within PayPal which is handy if you have multiple sites using the same PayPal account]
You can also specify the IPN (which should also be implemented) using &notify_url=
I got an auto-return to work in the sandbox!
Not quite sure what I did BUT it might have been that I set up PDT and IPN in the sandbox site, instead of just in the live site.
thanks for replies. I am not out of the woods yet, but I now live in hope.

Paypal old programmer missing old sandbox

I have old Sandbox business & personal accounts that stopped working. I have to go back and test a site I developed two years ago. I saw a reference to importing these accounts on the new site but every link seems to go in circles. I certainly can't afford time to rewrite all my client's api's even if they would pay me just to go into testing mode.
Can someone suggest how I might revive these accounts.
There are currently some issues that are being addressed to resolve this issue. As a workaround try using FireFox or Chrome if you were using IE. Clear your cookies and chache prior to opening up that browhwer. Then go to developer.paypal.com and log in with your live PayPal account email address. Then try importing your accounts. There have been more issues with IE than the other browsers.
