Paypal: Mapping API credentials with sandbox credentials

1
votes

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.

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.
