Hi there! Here’s a quick video to show you how to integrate your PayPal account with your website so that visitors can shop on your online store and pay with credit card via PayPal.
So before we get started, make sure you have a PayPal Business Account, which is absolutely free.
Make sure you have already set up your PayPal account and linked your bank account.
What I’m going to show you is how to find your PayPal API username, password and signature so that you can add them to your online store made with the Website.com site builder.
So first, I’m logged into my Website.com account, and I’m in the website builder.
We’ll go to Online Store and I’ll use the quick link here to go to Payments.
Now under Third Party Payment services, I’ll click Set Up.
Now let’s click Enable beside PayPal.
So here are the credentials we need to get from your PayPal account.
So first I’ll log into my PayPal account and show you how to find that.
So we’ll log in, and now just click on your profile icon on the top right corner, and now click Account Settings.
Once we’re here, just click Update beside API access.
Now look for the link that says Continue with out-of-use NVP/SOAP credentials
So there are 2 options here, we want to select API signature, and then we’ll click the Agree and Submit button.
Now here is the info you need.
Just copy and paste the API Username, API Password and Signature into Credentials on the site builder here.
Now all you have to do is click Save and Publish changes, and PayPal has been successfully integrated into your checkout system.
Now there’s a shortcut if you can’t find this info on PayPal by following these steps, as sometimes PayPay does some interface and design changes, so the placement may change.
All you have to do is look at the instructions that are provided on the site builder, and click on this Update link to take you to the proper page on PayPal.
And from there you just have to find the link that says Continue with out-of-use NVP/SOAP credentials, click on it to get your credentials.
So again, here are the credentials that you need.
