Hi

Went through the documentation for JoomlaLMS, but I am still not very clear about how I should go about this:

If I want to sell an e-learning course hosted on a JoomlaLMS website, using PayPal what are the steps ? What information do I need to configure the Payment Processor

Will I be able to configure subscriptions only after I open an account with Paypal ?
Sorry for the rather dumb questions.... but I am a little confused....hope you understand

For eg in PayPal Processor settings:
what is Processor Name ?
what is SandBox Paypal ?
What is Business Email ?
What is Item Name ?

I would be very grateful if anyone could guide me on this one.
Also is it OK to have just one Payment Processor ?

Firstly you should create course and subscription to the course.
You can sell subscription via online (i.e. paypal) payments.
You should register your PayPal account firstly.

Processor name - title which will see users during selecting the payment processor (i.e. 'PayPal' or 'CreditCard payment' or 'Online payment via PayPal'...)

SandBox Paypal - test accounts on Paypal (more information at developer.paypal.com). You can use it for testing online payments...(CreditCard is not required to register such account)

Business Email - email, which you are uses for login to your Paypal account. Account associated with this email will receive payments.

Item Name - name of the selling course. Users will see this name during paying at the paypal. You can use '[sub]' text template to put a subscription name to this field.

You can use any number of Payment Processors. Use such payment processor, which will be more comfortable for your site visitors.
