Hi, you can get the API credentials (Classic NVP Username, Password, Signature) from your PayPal account in this way:
- Log in into your PayPal account (www.paypal.com for LIVE, while www.sandbox.paypal.com for Sandbox)
- Click Profile
- Click Profile & Settings
- Click My selling Preferences.
- In the Selling online section, click the Update link for the API access item.
- Click "Manage API credentials"
Or log-in into your account and then follow the direct link:
LIVE
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
SANDBOX
https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_profile-api-signature
or, the new link
https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/businessprofile/mytools/apiaccess/firstparty/signature
If you want to configure the credentials into a third party module then you need to follow the instructions that usually they provide in their solution.
