open index.js file and do the necessary changes .

Running the tests

first step is to run our server locally so navigate to server folder and execute

node index.js

if everything works as expected you should see a log messages says

Magic happens on port 5000

open Android Studio and import the Android project then go to strings.xml and Config.java file and do the nessecary changes .
add google-services.json file of your firebase project to the android app folder .
when you come to the part where u should enter paypal login info to complete the buying process , login with the personl account previously created for testing then login to paypal sandbox with the Business account to see the transactions .
That's it you did it :)
