API Information?

[Verdandi]

I am trying to get my API information for my business account.

The paypal instructions say to do this:

1. Log in to your PayPal account.

2. Select My Account Profile.

3. Click API Access from the Profile Summary.

However I cannot see an "API Access" option anywhere. Help?

Hello Verdandi, 

Welcome to the Community . 

I am sorry you are not seeing the "API Access" option anywhere.

Here's how to request your API credentials:

1. Go to www.paypal.com and log in to your Business account.
2. Click "Profile" near the top of the page.
3. Click "My selling tools."
4. Click "Update" next to "API access."
5. Under "Option 2," click "Request API credentials."
6. Select "Request API signature" or "Request API certificate," depending on your shopping cart requirements, and then click "Agree and Submit."

If you choose API signature, you can copy the API username, password, and signature. Paste this information into your shopping cart configuration or administration screen, and then click "Done." You can view or remove an API username, password, or signature anytime.

If you choose API certificate, copy your API username and password and click "Download Certificate."
Save the file to your computer. Remember where you save the file because you'll need it later in your shopping cart set-up.

I hope this helps.
