Hi,

I want to know about sandbox. what is its purpose. I know its uses in e-commerce site. One use of sandbox is a dummy paypal account. Can someone please explain its uses

Thanks

We used to use this concept in our CMS (like with Pages and Structured Content). However, we have been doing some work to have our entire domain (like Products, Category, etc) also be under sandbox control. This allows a specific admin user to make some changes to any of these entities and try out the changes before actually pushing them to production. The changes that they make are only available for that specific admin user and general customers browsing the site cannot see them until that particular admin users' changes are pushed out to production.

As I said, currently the admin does not utilize any of this functionality but we have developed (and are developing) a more full-featured module surrounding this. If you have some specific needs for your site you can get more information on this by emailing info@broadleafcommerce.com

Thanks phillipuniverse for reply

Hey sunil,

I will give you basic idea and use of sandbox.

The Sandbox is useful for testing apps that involve PayPal transactions, website PayPal buttons and PayPal IPN listeners. To use the Sandbox, you must log in to the site with your PayPal information and create the appropriate test accounts.

I'm new to Drupal and has to jump right in to enable the ecommerce modules. After quite a while, I managed to get the paypal sandbox and ecommerce paypal option setup. But I have some queries before I set it to a live paypal account.
