Hello there,
First time posting a question/query. I have been receiving emails to update the API for PayPal; I try to follow the steps but they aren't consistent with my PayPal account e.g. Step 3 for 'My Selling Tools' is not available and therefore I can't seem to renew the API. Looking for a little assistance here please before this becomes an issue : )
I've copied and pasted the automated email that I'm receiving; I'd be appreciative for any and all support you can offer as this will expire in the new year and we are coming in to our busy period.
Best,
JP

The API certificate associated with your PayPal Business or Premier account, [[my email address]] will expire on 5 Jan 2020. To avoid service disruption to your PayPal API integration, we recommend renewing your API certificate before the expiry date. Here's how:
- Log in to your PayPal account.
- Click Profile near the top of the page.
- Click My selling tools.
- Under "Selling online", click Update beside "API access".
- Click View API Certificate.
- Click Renew Certificate.
- Under the certificate marked "Active", click Download Certificate.
