Hi @Tai-D001
Thanks for using our Community Forum,
I understand. In order to access your API credentials (username, password, signature)
Login into your PayPal account and then click on:
https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_profile-api-signature
or, the new link
https://www.paypal.com/businessprofile/mytools/apiaccess/firstparty/signature
To retrieve your Identity token, you must enable the Auto-return and PDT feature on your account. How?
More information in here.
Direct link to enable it on your account: https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_profile-website-payments
Once enabled, this will generate a token.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
