Sandbox Accounts – API Credentials

  • Hello,

    the documentation and form config tab says: “Sandbox PayPal Client ID” and “Sandbox PayPal Client Secret” but in my sandbox account under “API Crendtials” are only “Username”, “Password” and “Signature”. Which one is correct? The Form is redirecting and also submit but no payment is received!?

    Thanks for your answer.

    so Client ID == Username and Client Secret Key == Password ?
    And what is Signature?

    Hello,

    No, this is a different thing.
    For Sandbox Client ID and Client Secret Key please follow the above steps and add in the paypal settings tab.

      Log in to your sandbox PayPal account.
      Go to Settings (Gear Icon) > Account Settings > API Access.
      Select NVP/SOAP API integration (Classic) > Manage API Credentials > Request API Signature.
      You can find API Username, API Password, and API Signature.
