I have set up a sandbox account with both business and personal accounts. I created and downloaded an API certificate. I'm not sure what do with that. I have my site live on my own hosting plan. Do I just throw the cert in the root of the live website? How does it get used? I am ultimately trying to figure out IPN. I have downloaded the PHP code samples from here: https://github.com/paypal/ipn-code-samples I modified the files accordingly and uploaded them to my website. With my own API certificate, do I set '$use_local_certs' to true. Then down in this code:
if ($this->use_local_certs) { curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO, __DIR__ .
I set the location of my cert file that I had uploaded.
Now I am stuck. I don't understand how to get a test transaction into my sandbox account. I want know the IPN is working.
Thanks!
Mike

Hey devs,
Still looking for an answer to my questions. I guess I can ask on SO if I don't get an answer here, but figured this would be a better option. Specifically where do I put my API certificate that I have created? And do I set '$use_local_certs' to true in the IPN code samples?
Thanks!
Mike
