When making Paypal payment requests via Datacash it is required to provide a client and a password, as explained in the documentation page:
Each transaction type requires specific information to be provided. In addition to those listed, each requires a client and password - these are security details which identify your account.
Where can I find them in my Paypal Developer Dashboard?
First, you must send to support#datacash.com your paypal account details (username / password / signature) which you can find in the Accounts page by clicking on the "Profile" of your business account.
Then Datacash support will enable Paypal on your Datacash and send you back the appropriate client number and password.

I have got a Paypal order, with a order id (O-123213XXXX) from Paypal. I am trying to Authorize it via Hybris Storefront. Hybris will pass the payload to third party when user clicks on place order button, that third party will authorize the payment by communicating to PayPalExpress processor.
My payment is reaching till the processor and I am getting the response like [cart] 10002 Security Header not valid. I searched online and came to know that its something related to invalid API Credentials. They are suggesting not to get confused with live Paypal credentials with sandbox credentials.
I have cross-checked everything,
1) I have a Paypal button at my Hybris Storefront which user click when they wish to pay using Paypal. This will create the order.
2) After which, I am logging in using my sandbox test user account of type personal to approve the order via Paypal popup window.
3) Next, I execute that order. Before that, I need the bearer access-token using my online store's "Sandbox" Client ID and Secret Key combination in another REST call. (Just to mention... this online store/app is associate with a sandbox account of type "Business")
Once I get the token, I execute the order via another REST call using that access-token.
4) Now I get the Order Id from Paypal so that once the order is placed in Hybris, it will be Authorized and then Captured at a later stage. (Thats the plan...)
I have noticed in the Paypal developer account that the Business account associated with my online store/app has some credentials such as Username, Password and Signature.. But I am not using them anywhere in my flow.
(Those are for SOAP/NVP Calls that what they say in docs..)
and now I am getting 10002 Security header invalid response from processor.
As per my understanding I am not using any live credentials anywhere but the sandbox.
or am I missing something related to those mentioned credentials I am not using anywhere??
We are developing a marketplace webapp which charges customers on behalf of sellers.
After reading through PayPal's API documentation, the only solution seems to be the Permissions service.
According to the documentation. After retrieving the access token and token secrete of a seller through the RequestPermissions call, we generated X-PAYPAL-AUTHORIZATION header to initiate an express checkout payment id. However, the payment id generated is associated with our PayPal account instead of the seller's, which is not the anticipated behavior.
Adding seller's email address in the SUBJECT field as noted in PayPal Name-Value Pair API Basics does work, but as we tested it, it has nothing to do with the access token and token secrete.
The problem with the SUBJECT field is that we cannot make sure the seller's email address with us is the one PayPal have on file.
The GetBasicPersonalData permission seems to be able to get a valid email address, but that needs to be pre-approved by PayPal. In fact, I have come across many websites that does not require this permission but able to initiate payment on behalf of other users. Is there a way to just get sellers' email or PayPal Id without GetBasicPersonalData permission? We don't actually need any other personal data except email or PayPal Id.
Since Paypal officially sends people here for support, I hope StackOverflow members will not burn me at the stake.
After the product is sold, I need in the paypal confirmation email
Temporary password sent so user can login to site with their Email and that password.
We will obviously need that email/password via api to authenticate user.
You cannot modify Paypal's confirmation email, given Paypal's API restrictions. However, you can send emails via your application, to your users upon successful payment.
PayPal will send you application a response code for each transaction (payment successful/unsuccessful), which you can use to handle your behavior.
The documentation for paypal adapative api requires the developer to send 6 headers amongst which there are:
X-PAYPAL-SECURITY-USERID : Sandbox-Caller-User-Id
X-PAYPAL-SECURITY-PASSWORD : Sandbox-Caller-Password
X-PAYPAL-SECURITY-SIGNATURE : Sandbox-Caller-Security-Signature
The trouble is I don't know where to find the USERID, PASSWORD and SIGNATURE
In the below screenshot that I took from the Paypal Sandbox Business Account, there is no such thing as USERID, PASSWORD and SIGNATURE. Instead I have Sandbox account, Endpoint, Client ID and Secret.
Screenshot: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6599473/Capture.PNG
So which is which? What is the userid? What is the password? and what is the signature?
The screenshot you've provided is for the REST API. UN, PASS, and SIG are for the Classic API.
You can obtain those credentials logging in here with your PayPal account.
You can find more details here.
I'm trying to refund transactions using the Paypal NVP API. I've got some payments in a sandbox account, but when I try to issue a refund though the API I get You do not have permissions to make this API call. But I'm not sure what credentials I should be using.
According to the documentation, it says:
To access the PayPal API, you need API credentials, either an API
signature or API certificate, that identify you. Use the following
sample API signature and password in your sample programs that run in
the PayPal Sandbox test environment.
API username sdk-three_api1.sdk.com
API password QFZCWN5HZM8VBG7Q
API signature A‑IzJhZZjhg29XQ2qnhapuwxIDzyAZQ92FRP5dqBzVesOkzbdUONzmOU
I tried generating API credentials for the sandbox merchant account that's issuing the refunds, but the Paypal website crashes every time I try. Are these the correct credentials? What do I need to do to test this?
Your test accounts do not have credentials.
To get started with Payment Card in Sandbox, you must first create a buyer test account and enable in-store checkout.
After login sandbox you will find that option in menu API and Payment Card Credentials
and then click it you will get option Create Test Account and after create account you will get API Username, API Password and Signature.
Use those API Username, API Password and Signature in your application.
I found these details in my account after logging in:
go to the sandbox tab
below this you will find Accounts. Click on Accounts.
All your email lists will be shown.
Click on the email id that belongs to the Business account.
You will see two options: profile and notifications below the email id's.
After clicking on profile one window will pop up with name Account details.
In that you will see the tab API Credentials. In this you will find your username, password and signature. Please note : You will find these details only in your Business type account, not for buyer type.
