# 🚀 QUICK START - Fix Your Merchant Onboarding
|
|
|
|
## What Just Happened?
|
|
|
|
I found and fixed the bug causing your merchants to get stuck in "onboarding" state. The problem: **your code was accepting your own partner ID as if it were the merchant's ID when they didn't complete PayPal signup.**
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## 🔧 Step 1: Clean Up Old Data (2 minutes)
|
|
|
|
Open your browser and go to:
|
|
```
|
|
http://localhost/payp/cleanup.php
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will:
|
|
- Remove incorrect merchant IDs (your partner ID saved as merchant IDs)
|
|
- Mark incomplete onboardings properly
|
|
- Show you what was cleaned
|
|
|
|
**Do this NOW before testing!**
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## ✅ Step 2: Test Complete Onboarding (5 minutes)
|
|
|
|
1. Go to: `http://localhost/payp/`
|
|
|
|
2. Fill in a school name and click **"Connect with PayPal"**
|
|
|
|
3. **IMPORTANT**: When redirected to PayPal:
|
|
- ✅ **DO**: Complete the ENTIRE business account setup
|
|
- ✅ **DO**: Fill in all required fields
|
|
- ✅ **DO**: Click through all steps until PayPal shows "Return to Application"
|
|
- ❌ **DON'T**: Close the browser early
|
|
- ❌ **DON'T**: Skip steps
|
|
|
|
4. Click **"Return to School Lunch App"** when PayPal prompts
|
|
|
|
5. **Verify Success**:
|
|
- You should see: ✅ "Onboarding completed and merchant saved"
|
|
- Dashboard shows the school in "Connected Schools"
|
|
- Merchant ID is **NOT** `NEG5HMUKCTQNL`
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## ⚠️ Step 3: Test Incomplete Onboarding (2 minutes)
|
|
|
|
1. Go to: `http://localhost/payp/`
|
|
|
|
2. Fill in a different school name and click **"Connect with PayPal"**
|
|
|
|
3. **As soon as PayPal page loads**:
|
|
- Click "Return to School Lunch App" WITHOUT completing signup
|
|
- OR just close the browser tab
|
|
|
|
4. **Verify Failure Handling**:
|
|
- You should see: ⚠️ "Onboarding Incomplete" warning
|
|
- Dashboard shows the school in "Pending Onboarding" with warning icon
|
|
- NO merchant ID is saved
|
|
- Status shows: `incomplete_onboarding`
|

## 📊 Step 4: Check Your Data
|
|
|
|
Open these files and verify:
|
|
|
|
### `data/merchants.json`
|
|
Should contain only COMPLETED merchants with DIFFERENT IDs:
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"Test School": {
|
|
"merchant_id": "SOME_UNIQUE_ID", // NOT NEG5HMUKCTQNL
|
|
"tracking_id": "school_xxxxx",
|
|
"connected_at": 1234567890
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `data/pending_onboarding.json`
|
|
Should show clear status for each:
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"school_xxxxx": {
|
|
"school": "Complete School",
|
|
"merchant_id": "SOME_UNIQUE_ID",
|
|
"status": "connected" // ✅
|
|
},
|
|
"school_yyyyy": {
|
|
"school": "Incomplete School",
|
|
"status": "incomplete_onboarding", // ⚠️
|
|
"note": "Merchant did not complete PayPal onboarding"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|

- **Solution**: Run `cleanup.php` again, then test with a NEW school
|
|

|
|
- **Solution**: Clear browser cache and refresh `index.php`
|
|
|
|
### Problem: Can't complete PayPal onboarding in sandbox

|
|
