API Key + Secret Key

[tanyadan79]

Hi, my developer says he needs my Paypal API Key + Secret Key for the Woocommerce he's creating on my site. Any ideas of where I find this? I have scoured PayPal and cannot find it, even on the help / search function. There is only the signature & certificate. 

Any help? Thanks!

Hi @tanyadan79 

Thanks for using our community forum,

REST Credentials CLIENT and SECRET:

How to get your REST Credentials?

In order to get the REST API credentials (Secret and Client ID) please do the following:

- go to https://developer.paypal.com/

- on the top right corner click "log-in into Dashboard"
- use your PayPal/Developer credentials to login
- click on Dashboard - "My Apps & Credentials"
- from the "APP name" menu choose your App and click on it
In here you can see all the details and credentials. Please NOTE that to check for LIVE credentials you have to click on the top right corner switch (LIVE/Sandbox) the LIVE button.

Also it could be that the client ID is correct but you are pointing to Sandbox instead of Live or viceversa:

Sandbox: POST https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token

Live: POST https://api.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token

Thanks,
