To receive payments using PayPal, you will need to have a PayPal Developer account. This type of account is linked to your business Paypal account, so if you already have one, you can try using it to log in.
Once you have a PayPal account, you can proceed with the following steps to activate it for your project/website/app:
You must go to your Dashboard > Stores > Selected Store you want to set up with PayPal.
https://dashboard.orderingplus.com ← OrderingPlus Dashboard link
Go to the Stores section in your OrderingPlus Dashboard

All set! You now have your Client ID and Secret ID.

We recommend testing PayPal as a payment method to verify everything is working properly and to understand how your customers will use this option.
