[support] Paypal IPN required ?

[Sohodojo Jim]

Amit,
 
Nancy has been very helpful with her explanations guiding you through the 'gotchas' of building and testing an Ubercart-based Drupal site using PayPal.
 
Don't forget, however, that one of the great strengths of Ubercart is that you can install and turn on and off multiple payment systems both for use on a live site as well as on a site under development.
 
Sometimes the 'gotchas' of running in PayPal sandbox mode can keep you from developing and testing the full workflow behavior of your site. In these cases, you may be better served to install and use an alternative payment system so you can run the full workflow and see that your design is working. There are many ways you can do this. 
 
One payment system module I have used during development which is 'lean and easy' is the UC Test Payment module (http://drupal.org/project/uc_test_payment). Install it and use it during development where you need to test and validate such things as Conditional Action workflows, etc. It will let you select the payment_status result you want when placing the test order. This can be invaluable during development.  Then simply deselect/deactivate this payment method when you make your site go live. Using a 'lean and clean' simplified test payment system which doesn't go off to a third-party service provider is also fast and easy during development. You don't have to remember and pump in all the credit card 'fake transaction' details needed by the, for example, PayPal sandbox system.
 
Good Luck with your further development.

So I will expect sandbox mode need some manual work. Once I switch to Live mode then there wont be needed for Manual Work.
As of now I change "Order status: " on admin/store/orders/N  (N: Order Number) page from "Pending" to "Completed". Then only I can see all expected Roll get assign to customer.

Thank You.

While you are in Sandbox mode, transactions will never complete. Once you see a transaction has gone through correctly, you have to follow their instructions to go live. Once you do that, transactions will complete and you will start making money. You cannot remain in Sandbox mode.

There is a gotcha with Paypal: When you first sign up with Paypal, they will place you into "sandbox" mode and a sale will never complete (stay pending). When things look okay, you have to follow their documentation to get into a live mode where transactions will complete.

I am using Sanbox only. I have configured Drupal for Sandbox & I have paypal account which from Sandbox.
So you are saying that once I configured paypal then I have to follow Live Paypal denouements.
