I saw where to change the price and more importantly how to allow discount codes.
However, I can’t complete a transaction. I’m guessing that might be because my email address
is the one registered with PayPal and that I can’t register for the event from that email address
to that same email address.
If that isn’t the reason, let me say more about what happens: I get to the point of having our
ADD Grand Slam site go to the PayPal site for me to complete registration. At that point, my
login doesn’t work.
If I try logging into my PayPal account outside of the registration process, it works fine.
Also, each time I get stuck, I end up in Event Espresso as having registered and having paid even
though the payment hasn’t gone through. (When I look at my PayPal account, there have been
no transactions.)
The only real question here is, can I to a test registration using the email address that is the one
where funds will be deposited?

Hello Jon,
You can use your email for paypal settings, paying at paypal and for the registration, but that isnt the issue at hand here.
If you have set up the PayPal settings to do a test transaction you will need test credentials. In order to do this you will need to set up an account with the PayPal Sandbox – https://developer.paypal.com/
PayPal have recently changed the way they use and display there developer docs, so at least for me, its a bit of a minefield to navigate, and it was never particularly easy to set up.
In short you will need a Buyer account and a Seller account set up.
The seller account is the details you add into the plugin and is ONLY used for testing, remember to swap back to your real credentials before going live.
The Buyer account is what you use when “purchasing” the test event, so instead of your normal login details.
After you have signed up for the sandbox account, I suggest going to Applications in the main menu and then selecting Sandbox accounts on the left hand menu. That will get you to the place to start making fake credentials.
Here’s PayPals guide for setting it up – https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/lifecycle/ug_sandbox/
