Hello,
Can anyone advise me on where to paste the Paypal Sandbox API and Secret code in RapidCart please?
Here are the directions: https://tls.4gnd.com/rw/rapidcartpro/manual/#set-up-payment-methods

Hello,
Thank you for the reply. That does look easy, but unfortunately I donāt have the Pro version, just RapidCart.
In my ācheckoutā option, (which is next to ācartā options) I have āEnable PayPal,ā and āEnable Sandbox,ā but I donāt have āAPI Client IDā or āAPI Secret.ā
It should be there somewhere, but who knows?!
Awaiting in anticipation. 
I have checked this out previously when Googling for a solution, but thank you anyway, it has some good info on.
Hereās some old documentation for Rapicart 3 (which Iām presuming is your version): http://help.4gnd.com/kb/rapidcart-manual/setting-up-rapidcart-with-paypal-account

From looking at the documentation in the post by @jabostick it looks like RC3 doesnāt use the Paypal API and Secret code. All that you enter is the email address associated with your Paypal account.
@pottedwires where did you see the directions that say that you paste the Paypal Sandbox API and Secret code into RC3? You are correct that they are used for RCP, but I donāt see them mentioned at all in the RC3 docs or screenshots.
Perhaps someone using RC3 can chime in and sort it?
[edit: typo for RCP3 > RC3]
RCP3? I have RC3! Anyway, yep good point. I canāt remember if I have seen directions to paste into RC3, but I have seen
āHow to get PayPal Api username, password and signature informationā
āCopy and paste the API username, password, and signature into your shopping cartās configuration or administration screen.ā
Paypal messages have been āissuesā setting up my Sandbox Test Accounts, but seems ok now.
Iām still working on it, so hopefully just entering the email address will be fine in the future.
Thank you
Sorry the RCP3 was a typo. I understand you have RC3.
But i havenāt seen this in the documentation for RC3 - only for RCP:
āHow to get PayPal Api username, password and signature informationā
āCopy and paste the API username, password, and signature into your shopping cartās configuration or administration screen.ā
So my question was where did you see that pertaining to RC3?
Yep, checked that out previously, and your previous help post about APIs. (even though it was for RCP)
Hope to work through it, still learning.
Thank you
Thatās ok. Apologies, no I canāt remember if I have seen it pertaining to RC3. Iāve just been grasping at straws it seems.
Good luck.
If @rob is still kicking around these parts, maybe he can let us know. I had RC3 in my library but by the time I got around to using it, RCP had come out and I just upgraded so I havenāt tried your methodā¦
Thank you. Yes, I did download the trial version of RCP, but it seemed like I would need to relearn a lot at the time. I guess I should upgrade at some point.
They stopped updating RC3 quite a while ago. Itās really sad that 4gnd seems to be having some serious problems as theyāve not been present here in the forum and apparently havenāt been responding to support requests for some time. RCP is a great program and has worked flawlessly for me on a client site for over a year.
I can only imagine that they are having some very bad problems as otherwise why would they be so absent from communicating with their clientele? It would be a great loss for the RW community if RCP is abandoned. It would be most helpful if @rob or @gibo could check in a give us all a heads up. Previously their support was quite good and they were releasing updates around twice a month.

Yep
Hereās an update
Iāve entered my email address in the correct place as shown in the guides below for RapidCart, and Iām still not getting it to work. Not sure why, but will post back if I ever figure it out!

Sorry, we are catching up with support requests.
Too many projects in developmentā¦

Just to clarify.
Are you using RapidCart 3 (the āhistoricā non-responsive plugin) or RapidCart Pro 4 (new, just updated and fully reponsive)?
Hello,
Thank you for the reply.
I am using RapidCart 3. Soā¦non-responisve? Does that mean the RapidCart 3 cart isnāt going to work?
Iām still having difficulty in PayPal set up. Iād like to know where the problem is. Iām trying to sort it
with PayPal also, incase itās in my set up there.
Quite frankly, not a clue at present.
Any help would be appreciated. I have looked at the RapidCart link previously, thank you anyway.
RapidCart 3 works, but itās not responsive.
This means itās not mobile-ready (if the theme is).
Please read RapidCart 3 documentation.

You just need to use your PayPal account.
PayPal API credentials are not required in RapidCart 3.
oh ok! Thanks for clarifying.
