Setup PayPal Integration
To setup integration with PayPal you will have needed to create a PayPal app in the developer center of PayPal and have generated and API Client ID and Client Secret. The Client ID and Client Secret are like a username and password to allow payments to be sent to your account. Below is an excerpt from the documentation explaining how to create the credentials.
The full PayPal checkout documentation is available here, but please understand that because Registration Guru has done much of the integration work for your, your only need to complete the first step and obtain a Client ID and Secret. The rest of the integration has been completed.
To generate REST API credentials for the sandbox and live environments:
1. Log in to the Developer Dashboard with your PayPal account.
2. Under the DASHBOARD menu, select My Apps & Credentials.
3. Make sure you're on the Sandbox tab to get the API credentials you'll use while you're developing code. After you test and before you go live, switch to the Live tab to get live credentials.
4. Under the App Name column, select Default Application, which PayPal creates with a new Developer Dashboard account. Select Create App if you don't see the default app.
Note: To get
credentials for the Marketplaces and Platforms product, see
that Get Started page.
