Imacros to automate magento checkout using paypal express

Posted by Damodar Bashyal on January 08, 2015

 

I had heard about imacros but never tried. This time I wanted to give it a go as I need to proceed to through checkout process few times and watch the log. So, to do this repetitive task, I installed imacros extension on google chrome and recorded checkout process from beginning to end.

Even though imacros records most of the events, it didn't record form input filled and was not waiting for page to finish loading before moving to next step.

This is my last script that worked 99% of the time.

SET !ERRORIGNORE YES
' set max timeout for pages, default is 60 seconds
SET !TIMEOUT_PAGE 5

' go to cart page and empty previous basket
URL GOTO=http://au.dse.dev/checkout/cart/
TAG POS=2 TYPE=SPAN ATTR=TXT:Clear<SP>Shopping<SP>Cart
' wait 2 seconds, so cart items get cleared out
WAIT SECONDS=3
' now go to product page and select option and add to cart

You need to change IDs and paypal login details.
