# Generating PayPal NVP Credentials
{% hint style="danger" %}
PayPal has recently made some changes and do not allow you to get NVP credentials for personal accounts anymore. One option is to upgrade to a business account, create credentials and call PayPal to downgrade. Any credentials you create, will continue to work.
{% endhint %}
Please follow these steps:
* Log in to [PayPal](https://www.paypal.com/).
* Navigate to **Account -> Settings**
*
```
```
* Select **Account access** on the left navigation and click on **Update** link under **API access**
* Scroll down to the bottom and click on the link: Continue with out-of-use NVP/SOAP credentials
*
```
```
* Select Direct radio button and enter: "Using old library" as the reason
*
```
```
* Click on **Continue with deprecated credentials**
* On the next screen you will get **API username**, **API password** and **Signature**
*
```
```
* Enter these values into Streams Manager and click **Test** button to ensure they work. Ensure there are no leading or trailing spaces
* Click the **Save** in Streams Manager
