According to Paypal Developer Documentation.
For example, an Express Checkout call requires the following input fields:
USER - The API User name credential.
PWD - The API Password credential.
SIGNATURE - The Signature credential.
But in new paypal developer application, it only shows endpoint, client ID and secret, there is no API credential. How to get it?
You should be able to select the account you are wanting credentials for and click on the profile link. Then when the pop up comes up, you can click the tab for "API Credentials". IF you do not see these credentials/tab, then you would need to log into the actual test sandbox seller account and navigate to your profile and actual request the credentials.

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??
I already build a paypal account and then
I created Sandbox Test Accounts in "https://developer.paypal.com/developer/accounts/",
1 personal account and
1 business account.
now I want to use below credential where can I find these.
PAYPAL_USERNAME
PAYPAL_PASSWORD
PAYPAL_SIGNATURE
PAYPAL_MERCHANT_ID
PAYPAL_BUSINESS
PAYPAL_CERT_ID
please help me out, I am new in paypal api
PayPal is having pretty good documentation.
To create API Username, API Password, Signature follow the steps
Select Profile on the right side of page -- Select Profile and settings
From left menu, select My selling tools
In selling online section, click Update link for API access item
Click on Request API Credentials on the API Access page
Select Request API signature and click Agree and Submit to generate the API signature
more details here
The only things you should need are a client id and secret. This will enable you to make REST api calls. If you're new to PayPal APIs, the REST api is where you should be starting.
Please see https://developer.paypal.com/docs/integration/direct/make-your-first-call/
I'm trying to test a Paypal Classic API integration and am having issues finding my Test Credentials.
Current error returned is: Authentication failed. API credentials are incorrect.
This makes sense as I'm using the Sandbox AppId and Live credentials for the account (which I know where to get obviously).
I've found this page: https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/lifecycle/sb_credentials/
which tells me where to go to get test credentials but I can't find the place it's talking about.
Logging in with the business account doesn't have the sections displayed in the graphic. Am I supposed to be logging in with a different account?
Any pointers appreciated.
Go to https://developer.paypal.com and log in (by clicking on the Log In button in the upper-right corner). Use the email address and password from your live PayPal account to log in.
Click Dashboard.
Under Sandbox, click Accounts.
There should be a facilitator account there (e.g., youremail-facilitator#yourdomain.com). You can either use that account for the following steps, or you can click on Create Account and create a new account to use for the following steps.
Click on the email address of the account.
You'll see two links appear underneath the email address: Profile and Notifications. Click on Profile.
Click the API Credentials tab.
I am trying to setup a testbed in PayPal Sandbox in order to implement/test the DoDirectPay API for my company. DoDirectPay uses a certificate file (as opposed to a signature) per the documentation as well as the example code snippet here
Per the top Google search result for "download api certificate paypal" it should be possible to choose between obtaining a signature or downloading a certificate.
The test Merchant account I have created for sandbox was instantiated properly; and I am able to login to the sandbox site without issue. I have verified that the Merchant account is indeed set up for PayPal Pro. When I proceed to Account->Profile->Request API Credentials the only option is to obtain a signature. The signature matches what is displayed in the Sandbox admin panel for users; however that is useless to me as I need to test DoDirectPay which requires a PEM formatted certificate file.
How can I get SandBox to spit out a certificate file for me to test DoDirectPay API?
P.S. - I have already looked through several articles including SO1 and SO2 but neither really seems to relate to exactly what I need.
You must first remove the API signature before you can request an API certificate.
Log in to Developer.paypal.com
Choose the account you would like to request a certificate for, then click "Sandbox Site"
Log in to your Sandbox account
Click "Profile" at the top of the page
Click "Request API Credentials"
Click "set up PayPal API credentials and permissions"
Click "View API Signature"
Click "Remove"
Click "Request API Credentials"
Choose Request API Certificate, then click "Agree and Submit"
Hope this helps!
In reference to the original question, paypal allows dodirectpayment api calls with an API signature too. you do not need a certificate.
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.
