I'm working on an ecommerce platform which requires me to provide the following information for a connection to my PayPal account:
- Live Security User Id
- Live Security Password
- Live Security Signature
- Application Id
I've created a REST API app under my developer account, but it doesn't seem to be generating those credentials.
Am I missing a step, or am I supposed to be creating a different type of app?

Hi Stuwdi,
Welcome to the community forum and thanks for posting.
It sounds like you haven't registered your REST API application with PayPal. Here’s how to register your REST API application and obtain your live PayPal credentials https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/lifecycle/goingLive/#credentials.
Hope this helps,
Intars
