Going Live with Paypal?

So I've done the process of "Testing Credentials" as per Backlight Documentation...

*****
PayPal offers the ability to test the checkout mechanism without real transactions going through. To use this mechanism, you'll need developer credentials from PayPal, obtained with the following steps:
Login to https://developer.paypal.com with your PayPal account
Click on Applications
Click on Sandbox accounts on the side menu
Create two accounts, one Business, and the other Personal
Click on the 'profile' link under the Business account
Click on the API Credentials tab
Find your three credentials (Username, Password and Signature) under the Classic TEST API credentials heading
Plug these into the PayPal “Testing” credential settings of the Cart Settings
Make sure that the cart setting PayPal Deployment is set to Testing
Test the cart, and when checking out via PayPal, log in with the username and password created for the Personal account on step 4.
It is important that before sending customers to your galleries, that you change the PayPal Deployment to Live so that real checkouts can be made.

The Testing worked fine for me. So now, to go "Live"? The last line says to change from testing to live.
The Backlight 2 Settings page has the testing credentials entered into those boxes.(thus it worked)
But to go "Live" I need to enter credentials into the "Paypal Live API - Username, Password, Signature" boxes. Where is this information accessed??

Yeah, I've been on an infinite loop with Paypal for well over an hour, trying to find how I create/locate and/or get a username, password, & signature. Still trying to figure it out.

To follow-up, I accomplished this for the sandbox process, and it worked.
But now, trying to go live, not the same process.

Is the Paypal process to be looking at the REST API integration, thing? Anyone?

sol · 2019-10-09 05:00:51

Paypal API Credential Access Options being offered:
"REST API"
"Braintree SDK"
"NVP/SOAP API integration"
Does Backlight 2 require one in particular?

I can find my credentials under: NVP/SOAP API integration (Classic)

it certainly doesn't help that PayPal seems to change things up regularly.....

Hey Rod,
Yeah that's one I just saw too.
Part of what's confusing me on that, is that the "Sandbox" process was done over at the "My Apps & Credentials" where they're asking you to create "REST API" apps and such, in "Live" and "Sandbox" variations.
It does say somewhere in there, that the NVP/SOAP API" is new terminology.
It's all foreign language to me. :-)

Thanks, man.
