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,
