Generating PayPal NVP Credentials

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.

Please follow these steps:

• Log in to PayPal.

• Navigate to the following:

  • Account Settings

  • Account Access

  • Click the Update link from the API Access section.

• Scroll down to the Custom checkout experience section.

• Click the Manage API credentials link under NVP/SOAP API integration (Classic) option:

• If you haven’t set this up before, PayPal will prompt you to request the API Credentials. Choose the Request API signature from the list of options.

• Click the Agree and Submit button.

• Click the Show link for each key to copy them.

• Finally, click the Done button.
