paypal payment gateway difficult

Recommended Posts

Didn't this setting used to involved going to Paypal and getting one number?

Now there is all kinds ot confusing language and many steps. Client ID etc etc.

I think there should be a simple guide to aid in walking through this difficult process.

Set it up using a REST API.

  1. developer.paypal.com
    1. login 
    2. middle of the top of screen click dashboard https://developer.paypal.com/developer/applications/   ; https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0mBb9QuGv84UFVuT0dyLWdtWlE/view?usp=drivesdk
  2. click on create app under REST API (see above drive.google screenshot)
  3. Create REST API https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0mBb9QuGv84ZEU3dVgxd3U1ZDA/view?usp=drivesdk
  4. Get Keys (live client ID and secret) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0mBb9QuGv84SEYybE1hVHI5cjQ/view?usp=drivesdk
  5. Create Payment method in ACP for paypal https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0mBb9QuGv84RDhKdXVzWkxzazQ/view?usp=drivesdk

if you are setup to sell banner ads though nexus payment processers yes.

2. sell subscriptions

yes, I currently do on my site.

3. allow my users to sell digital content.

If using downloads app that pipes though nexus, then yes. I belive IP.Downloads allows this.

Thank you so much for all of the screen shots. I got up to step 4 but couldn't find live client ID. I could only find sandbox.  I tried to use sandbox and triggered error in my ACP. Do you know where the live is?

oh, and what do I put for a return URL?

Edit:

I found the live.. :

There was a switch up there. I feel like a dullard now.

I am still not sure about return URL because I don't know if IPB has a custom thank you page or not.
