Setting up PayPal Integration

It is possible to give your customers the option to pay via PayPal instead of their credit card with our PayPal integration.

For more information about setting up Paypal as an additional payment method please visit  https://www.paypal.com/ie/webapps/mpp/accept-payments-online

It is very important to ensure that  your business name appears correctly at the top of the PayPal page.  To edit this name, go into Profile in your PayPal Business Account and set the Business Name there (it's also called Business Information).

How to set up the PayPal Integration

To complete the PayPal integration on your website, the following information is required:

• PayPal API Username
• PayPal API Password
• PayPal API Signature

The above information can be found under your Profile Settings  and by following the below steps-

Log in to your PayPal Business Account:
