PayPal Commerce Buttons Settings

Overview

PayPal Commerce Buttons allow you to accept payments from customers with PayPal accounts.

Getting Started

Follow the PayPal prompts until you are returned to the ShopSite screen where the Client ID, Client Secret, Merchant ID and Merchant ID in PayPal will have been pre-populated. No further modifications to these fields are needed on your part.

Setup

From the Commerce Setup screen, select Payment, then scroll down and click the Payment Name radio button, then click Configure Processor. You will see a screen with the following fields:

This is an encrypted value and only dots will be displayed. This value is automatically filled in when you Connect or Re-Connect to PayPal.

If you have turned on displaying the PayPal Credit button, you can click this link to open a new tab and go to the Promoting PayPal Credit page to determine where credit messages are displayed and their style.
