I've been setting up AbanteCart a little at a time, taking my time because (a) business is all-time record and I haven't had much time, and (b) I'm trying to read instructions as I go along, making sure I understand. I HAVE made lots of progress but still have more to go -- but I really like everything I see.
That being said, I have a few questions related to payment. Since I['ve always handled online payments through Paypal, this is what I want to use with AbanteCart. I've set up Paypal Standard. There is also a Paypal Express -- what is the difference? I would assume Paypal Standard is the tried-and-true method, but would like to know if Express has any advantages.
Second, about all I had to do to set up Paypal was write in my e-mail address. Is there some other whopping big security code that I've missed? I did notice in the instructions there is an IPN, what is that?
I also have it set to Sandbox mode. I assume this will ignore any transactions until I'm ready to go live, at which time I turn off sandbox.
Lastly, and quite important, I can't seem to find any reference about sales tax. It should be set so that anyone ordering from Florida pays 7% tax, while anyone outside Florida pays nothing. Where do I go to set this up?
Thanks in advance for your help!
