This is completely new territory for me. I'm in the process of getting up to speed with WordPress with the aim of using it as a resource to raise funds for charities. I've been looking at links such as:
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/lifecycle/ug_sandbox/
and
together with a number of other resources, but I need to know exactly where to start from scratch.
Basically I would like to set up a test PayPal account which can accept dummy credit card numbers for both dummy deposits and withdrawals in order to test it out in such a way that from a WordPress theme I can make mock donations, then check that the "balance" has been credited, then be a dummy charity that can make mock withdrawals.
Presumably there are free test accounts that can do this with documentation. I've looked at some of the documentation, but it would be nice to know where to start, as there is so much.
Looking forward to some friendly and helpful reply.
