Hey, community! I am trying to integrate PayPal to my Samcart account but can't find any 'Request API signature' inside my Paypal.

Hello @nimadingle
Thank you for posting to the PayPal Merchant Community. As long as you have a business or premier account you should be able to request api credentials.
- For API Signature, here are the steps:
- Log into your PayPal Account at https://paypal.com
- Go to Account Settings
- Click Update next to API Access
- Scroll Down and click on NVP/SOAP API Integration (Classic)
- Request your API Signature
If you do not see an option in your account for API Credentials, its possible you have a personal account. You will need to upgrade to a Business Account.
Here is how:
- Log into your Personal PayPal Account
- Click the Settings Icon to the left of Log Out
- Scroll down and click on Upgrade to a Business Account
- Fill in the details of your Business Account
Once you upgrade to a Business Account your view will change and you will have access to your API Credentials.
Thank you,
Jennifer
