Forminator Paypal sandbox testing from localhost server

    Hi

    My test environment is on my localhost and when I conduct testing using the Paypal sandbox payment gateway from a Forminator form, I get this message : –
    “SSL required to submit this form, please check your URL.”

    I have been searching the support forum and elsewhere, for a solution, but have not found one. Is there any documentation on how to set up the localhost to remedy this, or simulate that there is a SSL certificate? I am using WAMP server.

    Thank you
    Brett

    Hi @rmesupport,

    Sorry to know that you are experiencing this issue.

    Can you please make sure your localhost site is accessible from other machines and check if that helps?

    Kind Regards,
    Nebu John

    Update …
    I have found WAMP support to install SSL certificates – I will follow this route and report progress.

    Hi Nebu

    Yes, the localhost site is accessible from other devices on our local network.

    I have installed an unsigned SSL certificate by following this guide.
    https://infyom.com/blog/how-to-enable-localhost-https-ssl-on-wamp-server

    I am now able to conduct testing using the Paypal sandbox payment gateway from a Forminator form, without getting an error. Transaction completes in Sandbox succesfully.

    localhost server now has a https:// url,
    however when accessing from another device only https:// will work. I don’t believe this will be a problem for me.

    I will continue with the Forminator – Paypal testing.

    Hi Nebu

    I am now able to do my PayPal https testing from any device on my network.

    The solution was simply to Open SSL port 443 – as an Inbound Rule on Windows Defender firewall on the host PC.
