MiraPay Test Account
-#A test account is available. Enter the following information into the admin payments settings screen. You will need to setup a proper merchant account with Mirapay to actually use the system for collecting your own payments, but to test the module the test account works well enough.
+#A test account is available. Enter the following information into the admin payments settings screen. You will need to setup a proper merchant account with Mirapay to actually use the system for collecting your own payments, but to test the module the test account works well enough. MiraPay has the advantage over PayPal of not requiring the customer to have an account on their system.

-The ATutor Payments module is written to run with PayPal "Buy Now Buttons" which allows customers to purchase one item at a time, in the case of ATutor, a single course at a time.
+The ATutor Payments module is written to run with PayPal "Buy Now Buttons" which allows customers to purchase one item at a time, in the case of ATutor, a single course at a time. Note that payees will have to setup their own PayPal customer account before they can make payments through PayPal. Also note that after a payment is made through PayPal, there is a 10 second delay befpre the payee is redirected back to ATutor, and the payments tabe updated with the transaction ID from PayPal. If a users decides to go off to some other web site before being redirected back to ATutor, the payments table will not be updated. In such a case to admin, or the instructor of a course if instructors are given payment management privileges, will need to manually update the payments table, and if auto enroll is turned on, also update the enrolment for the course, manually enrolling the person in the course. This problem is less likely to occur when using MiraPay, which automatically redirectls back to ATutor without any delay during which the users can go off somewhere else on the Internet.
Once you have your paypal account setup, enter the URL to the PayPal Credit Card processing in the Payments>Settings screen, followed theVendor ID (leave the password field empty)
