PayPal PreApproved Payments
My site allows members to make a PreApproved payments to certain events.
The PreApproved payments are then processed at the end of the event (if the event goes ahead).
Up to now the events usually have about 20 x PreApproved payments and everything runs smoothly but i have a big event coming up very soon that could have over 200 PreApproved payments to process.
Is there anything that i need to look out for or put in place to make sure my site is able to handle all of the 200 payments smoothly. I know this is a difficult question to answer without seeing my code but i noticed that it takes about 4 seconds to process each payment and update the database once the payment trigger is called.

Well, yes, that's something you'll need to manage. You can test that sort of thing in the sandbox, though.
You can either extend your timeout values in PHP on the server to allow scripts to run a long time, or you could set the script up to run in multiple pieces processing just a few at a time.

Ok, i don't trust the Sandbox 100% ;-)
I don't think they operate 100% the same.
I will try processing 200 of them and see what happens, thanks again...

I use the sandbox all the time for stuff like that and it works out great. That's what it's for. Sometimes you'll run into little things that don't act the way they should, but I haven't run into anything like that in awhile now.

Thanks, i will try it and see how it works out...

I have all error handling and failed payments handling in place and they all work fine with the usual payment processing of 20 payments...
My worry is that it takes about 4-5 seconds to process a payment and update the databases etc... so could some script timeout if it needs to process 200 of these?
