How would I test payment methods within magento 1.8.0.0.? - magento

I was just wondering if anybody knows how to test magento's payment options.
I have got a few questions.
Do I need to change any code within any of the pages?
Do I need to make any changes to the admin settings ?
Is there a simple setting to test these payment methods out?
Is there only certain payment methods that you can actually check?

No you dont need to change any code. Its all handled from backend.
Generally for development purpose we use Cash on delivery or Check/Money Order payment method.
So you just need to enable these method from backend.
For Testing Credit Cards enable 'Saved CC' Payment Method and during checkout use test credit card type VISA, card number 4111111111111111 with any date of future for Expiration Date and any cvv number
Additionally for proper payment gateway integration You will need to purchase payment gateway which will provide Magento Module along with it. This Payment Method will have 2 modes test and live that are configurable from banckend. So with test mode you can continue development and testing.
Similarly with Paypal. Yo can setup Sandbox test account. Module is already there.

If you want to use Express Checkout:
Go to developer.paypal.com and log in using your PayPal account (it doesn't matter if the acount is empty or not).
Click on the menu item on the top dashboard and then select Accounts from the sidebar.
There, you will find 2 test accounts already set for you. You can modify the existing acounts or create new ones.
This post may help you.

Yes you can test on local host with setup sendbox account.

You can create a 99% discount coupon.
PS: From my experience, that's the standard to test live websites. The sandbox payment only works on staging/dev sites, as it puts the entire website on dev mode.

How to bypass payment step of checkout for testing purposes in Magento

I've done some development work for an existing site, and I want to test the checkout process, but I can't get passed the payment step without actually paying. I want to bypass this for testing purposes. I'm using the onepage checkout
Is there any way to do this?
There are a few payment methods in Magento by default that don't need to be "charged" during checkout - for example bank transfer, purchase order and check/money order.
You can enable them (if not enabled already) from admin via System -> Configuration -> Sales -> Payment Methods:
Also, it sounds like your primary payment method doesn't have a sandbox account set up - ensure you do that, as you'll need to be able to test the integration with it outside of your production environment as well.

PayPal Express not giving option for Check out as Guest, even if it is active (PayPal Paying Guest option to YES)

I had some problems with paypal settings in Magento 1.7.0.2 The problem is this: I am using using paypal express (I have my account created and verified Paypal Company) active PayPal Paying Guest option to YES, but when a user in my shop will complete your purchase and pay with Paypal will be the option PayPal API perfect, but does not show me the option to pay without paypal account and VERIFY ALL settings in Magento Admin Panel and \\"seem to be fine. \\"Try making a new store to rule out any configuration already had my store \\"old\\", that might not let me do my Enable PayPal Guest Checkout, but still have the same problem. I look forward to your help to solve the problem, since I have no idea what else to do on my page. thanks
This is all based on browser cookies. If you cleared your browser cookies and then try again prior to logging in to any PayPal account you should see the option for Guest Checkout more prominently displayed.
If you want to force this regardless of browser cookies you can set the following parameters in your SetExpressCheckoutRequest.
SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole
LANDINGPAGE=Billing
That will force the full credit card form to be displayed by default along with the option to login and pay with PayPal.
For Magento if it's not doing this for you by default you'll need to create a module to extend the core Express Checkout module so that you can add those parameters accordingly.

Will enabling authorize.net test mode in magento admin on one website affect another one using the same account but not in test mode?

Since I saw that authorize.net has a global account setting for test mode, I want to know if there is any risk with enabling test mode on an authorize.net account through magento admin to other magento websites using the same account but not in test mode.
In Authorize.net's API a test mod ise available at the request level using the variable x_test_request.
Looking at magento/app/code/core/Mage/Authorizenet/Model/Directpost/Request.php function setConstantData() you can see that setXTestRequest is called if the test setting is enabled.
If you enable this you won't impact other connections [on different stores], if you the global option from Authorize.net's side clearly it will be global. Either way when dealing with payments you should always test after any change to insure you don't mistakenly lose sales [or charge yourself].

Magento with paypal standard?

Things goes like this:
I've read a lot about the Paypal Standard integrate with Magento... the problem here is that I can't get the paypal standard button to show up when check out or in the Payment method form.
I tried to disable everything and enable everything but the paypal payment didn't show up any thing. Even on the payment method page when check out...
I'm running 1.4.0.1, Please helpme resolve this problem
Thank you
If PayPal is setup and working but you're not seeing the PayPal Express button on the one page checkout, make sure that "Payment Applicable From" is set to either "All Allowed Countries" or the country you and your customers are in.
You can find this under System > Configuration > Payment Methods > Basic Settings - PayPal Express Payments
Did you set your Base Currency to US Dollars? Or any of the other supported currencies?
http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/tweak_paypal_standard_for_non-supported_base_currency
Some things to check:
Under System->Configuration->Payment Methods the PayPal Website Payments Standard option is enabled
Under System->Configuration->PayPal Accounts you've configured the Website Payments Standard section with your PayPal account info
Under System->Cache Management try refreshing the cache
