where are the NVP/SOAP API Credentials for LIVE account - having issues navigating the setup

[ruffcue]

I have the sandbox SOAP working perfectly... but when I went to make a live account, it gives me different 'REST API' app credentials.

Our non-profit website uses something call CiviCRM which has a system built in using Username/password/signature  credentials for paypal

Paypal Website Payments Pro is working perfectly with the sandbox account - how can I get a LIVE setup with NVP/SOAP?

Is this "legacy"?? What am I missing here, to get this hooked up?

OK, I managed to find where to make the SOAP credentials for LIVE.

But now I get this error:   This transaction cannot be processed. The merchant's account is not able to process transactions.

Is there some other configuration setting I am missing?

Good day @ruffcue,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.

Yes, NVP/SOAP API is legacy integration. 

I request to please refer the below detailed steps to access/generate API credentials via your PayPal business account.

Login to your PayPal account >> click "settings" icon >> Account settings >> Account access >> "API access" >> Manage API credentials

(Or)

Login PayPal account >> Go to "https://www.paypal.com/businessmanage/credentials/apiAccess" >> follow above steps.
