PayPal credentials

Hello @strarsis

Thank you for reaching out, I had checked for these details yesterday for a similar request and am trying to get them included in the documentation of PayPal for this exact purpose. Currently, I only have access to the sandbox version, so can only provide the details for that option. I would expect they are similar to the live details needed from PayPal to connect your account to our plugin.

First of all, I would recommend using the Connection Wizard instead of the manual entry of the details; in this option, you only need the Account name (Email address) and the password from PayPal and it should work without any issue. You can test if it worked by verifying that all 4 fields for manual input have been filled in. If not, run through the wizard again and don’t rush through it so the process has time to establish the webhooks in the background (don’t click next too quickly).

If you want to retry the manual process, here you can find these details all on the PayPal Developers page under SANDBOX –> Account –> The merchant/business account you want to connect to your payment solution.
Details below are shown as: PayPal Payment plugin – PayPal account
– Sandbox Email address – Account name/Email ID
– Sandbox Merchant Id – Account ID
– Sandbox Client Id – API Credentials – REST Apps – App name – MyApp_test_facilitators_Test_Store -**Client ID**
– Sandbox Secret Key – API Credentials – REST Apps – App name – MyApp_test_facilitators_Test_Store – Secret

The PayPal payment option should appear when you got the merchant details correctly configured.

Let me know if this helps or if you need further assistance.

Kind regards,
Joost
