What is my PayPal API Signature?

I have created a donations page with a wordpress plug in.

In setting it up, it asks for my PayPal API Signature.

 

What is taht?

 

It says "To get your PayPal API credentials log in to your PayPal account. Under My Account, choose Profile then My Selling Preferences. Under the Selling Online section, choose the update link next to API Access, and finally choose Option 2 (Request API credentials)."

 

But I did not see "My Selling Preferences" so I guess these directions are outdated.

 

Please Help.

What type of PayPal Account do you have?   

 

(You should have either a Premier or Business Account.)

 

If you have a US PayPal Business Account see the steps below:

(Note, the steps may be the same or similar for a Premier Account.)

 

Login to your PayPal Account.

Click on Profile

Click on My selling tools

Look for API access

Click on Update

Look for: Option 2 - Request API credentials to create your own API username and password.
