Trying to setup CRE to work with Paypal Development account

I found this post:

But I still can’t get it to work, we are doing some testing and having a TEST CC Setup would be swell but there is no documentation anywhere not in EpicCare, EpicWeb, EPX… anywhere

I’ve read the documentation, but never attempted to get it to work. Not that that helps…

Hmmm where did I see it…

Now here’s a guide for everyone else who will find themselves in this situation.

  1. Get a PayPal account and setup a development account (you get one automatically if you are a regular PayPal customer) just head over to PayPal Developer and Login with your Regular Credentials
  2. In the Developer Dashboard Head over to Apps & Credentials

  10. In the Processor Tab you’ll want to Switch over to PayPal Testing and fill it out as shown below:
Field Value
Processor Name paypal_ppcp_test
Processor Description Paypal Test… or something like that
Partner PayPal
Merchant ID Get from your Developer Sandbox above Step 7
User Get from your Developer Sandbox above Step 5 (Client id)
Password Get from your Developer Sandbox above Step 5 (Secret)

The rest you can leave blank or have it match your production setup.

From what I understood with the two CC options available Paypal was a bit expensive. Might be different over there… Everything is expensive here.

We have a PayFlow Pro login that brings us to a PayPal Manager portal, but that is very different from a normal PayPal login or the developer area. I see nothing for Apps & Credentials. Do we need to setup another PayPal account and link to our PayFlow Pro account?

I think maybe you need to switch your account to ppcp? With paypal / payflow pro itself? Not sure about that piece.

Is the process any different for KineticLive vs. Test? Do we still use the sandbox setup of Paypal in order to pair it to live? Reason I ask is on the “live” side of paypal, the account ID field is not there.
