Paypal

This guide will help you generate PayPal API credentials (Client ID and Client Secret) to ingest transaction data from Paypal into your Payrails account

Prerequisites

• A PayPal Business account.

Step-by-step instructions

Step 1: Create an app in the Paypal developer dashboard

1. Navigate to Apps & Credentials: This is found in the top menu of the dashboard.
2. Create a new app: If you are a new user, you may already have a 'Default Application' in the REST API apps section. Instead of using ‘Default Application’, create a new app by selecting ‘Create App’.

Step 2: Generate your client ID and client secret

1. Select Your App: Click on the app name to view its details.
2. Find Credentials: Under the app details, you will find the ‘Client ID’ and ‘Client Secret’.
3. Copy Credentials: Make a note of both the Client ID and Client Secret.
