What do I use for "Partner ID"?

I'm connecting my shop that uses Squirrelcart shopping cart.  The configuration in squirrelcart calls for "merchant login", "password", and "Partner ID".  I'm guessing the first two are just my login username and password to paypal.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.  What do I use for the Partner ID?

When using PayFlow you'll have a separate login for https://manager.paypal.com.  This is NOT the same username/password as your www.paypal.com account.

 

If you are using "PayPal Payments Pro 2.0" where PayPal is the processor inside of PayFlow, then your Partner ID is:  PayPal

 

If you're using a different processor with PayFlow then you would need to check what Partner ID they've given you.

 

The "merchant login" is assigned to you when you get your PayFlow account, and the username/password would be whatever you have configured in that account admin panel.

 

If you have never created a separate username for PayFlow tasks then the username would be left blank when logging into the website.

 

Hope that helps!
