To accept payments via PayPal, you must first add your PayPal account email in your AMFG Management console by navigating to Settings → Payment Options → PayPal → Manage
Get client ID and client secret
PayPal integrations use a client ID and client secret to authenticate API calls:
A client ID identifies an app. You only need a client ID to get a PayPal payment button and standard credit and debit card fields.
A client secret authenticates a client ID. To call PayPal APIs, you'll exchange your client ID and client secret for an access token. Keep this secret safe.
Your PayPal email address, PayPal client ID, and PayPal secret can all be found in your PayPal account's dashboard.
Here's how to get your client ID and client secret:
Select Log in to Dashboard and log in or sign up:
Select Apps & Credentials.
New accounts come with a Default Application in the REST API apps section. To create a new project, select Create App.
Name the App (this can be anything, but 'AMFG' could be used for ease) and click the “Create App” button.
All the information required is here, once you've clicked 'Show' on the secret option. Copy the client ID and client secret for your app:
Insert the required information in the AMFG Management Console Settings → Payment Options → PayPal → Manage:
Click "Save" at the bottom of the pop-up window. AMFG will notify you that the changes have been saved.
