  1. Log in to your PayPal Business Account.
  2. Click the My Account tab.
  3. Go to the Profile menu and,
  4. Click Request API credentials under Account information.
  5. Click Set up PayPal API credentials and permissions under Option 1.
  6. Click Request API Credentials and,
  7. Click Request API signature.
  8. Choose Agree and Submit.
  9. Copy the API Username, API Password, and API Signature, you’ll need these when configuring the PayPal app on your ecomnation store.


To activate Paypal on your store, log in to your shop’s admin panel:


  1. Hover over the gear icon [1].
  2. Choose Apps & Integrations [2] on the drop-down menu.
  3. Click the Payment Gateway label [3] and you will see seven different payment gateways you can access.
  4. Navigate to the PayPal Express box and click on the blue Configure link [4]:

Clicking the blue Configure link will open a new menu:
