MiniShop2 latest

We've been looking at MiniShop2 as an e-commerce plugin for Modx. It looks like it could have huge potential. We were wondering a couple of things.

There was a forum post year before last about Bezumkin's docs being translated to English. I've been looking at Garret Overstreet's website, which is very useful to set up, but there's a lot of more advanced stuff which isn't covered, not ot mention troubleshooting. Does anyone know of any updates on English docs?

We're stumbling on ta Paypal sandbox issue at the moment. The checkout page doesn't go to PayPal but just to a Modx success page, the order is logged, but of course there's been no Paypal involvement. The error log shows rejection code 10002 but Paypal sandbox tools show no acknowledgement of a failed transaction. V. puzzling. Does anyone have any experience in getting this to work?

Running 2.4.2 by the way. I noticed that early 2016 there have been updates to the sandbox URLs form Paypal - wonder if that might be it. Reading Bezumkin's Russian pages via Google translate, it appears that failed transactions still return success and are logged by MiniShop2 so you can get in touch and arrange payment otherwise. That might explain waht we see - a failed Paypal handshake leading straight to MiniShop Modx generated success page.

PayPal just updated their sandbox last week to require better SSL certificates. Is affecting SimpleCart as well (https://forum.modmore.com/t/paypal-gateway-not-working-in-sandbox-mode/214); which from the looks of it will require updates to curl and openssl on your server..

Hi Mark, yes, just saw that. After updating Curl and openSSL packages, We still see MiniShop error : . Also updated /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ssl.conf to include .

I guess something's missed somewhere.

OK success!

Updating curl and openssl, you then also need to run via command line to update the SSL libraries. That then fixed the problem.

Paypal have issued various API url updates at the time of writing in early 2016, but I can confirm that the Paypal API Url field in the Manager -> System Settings -> MiniShop2 is still the same as in Garret Overstreet's video, namely
https://api-3t.sandbox.paypal.com/nvp.

I'd still be interested if anyone had done or was still considering doing any English docs. We'd be interested in helping.

Which versions of curl and openssl are you running after the upgrade?
