PayPal integration

There are two types of PayPal accounts: PayPal Manager and PayPal Express Checkout. We integrate with PayPal Manager account and to do so with the ExpoPlatform, you need to add Test Client ID and Live Client ID (which you can find in your PayPal developer account), under the PayPal section in the integration section.

Getting Test Client ID:

1. Log in to your PayPal developer account, under the Dashboard go to “My Apps & Credentials”.

2. Now under the Sandbox(this is where you will generate the Test Client ID that will be used for test payments), click on “Default Application” to generate the Test Client ID(you can also create a SandBox app of your own to test by clicking on the “Create App” below the Default application)

3. Now in the next screen under the field “Client ID”, you will get the Test Client ID.

Getting the Live Client ID:

1. Log in to your PayPal developer account, under the Dashboard go to “My Apps & Credentials”.

2. Now under the Live tab(this is where you create your Live App and will be used for real-time payments), click on “Create App”.
   

   

3. In the next screen enter your app name under “App Name”, fill in other details and then click on “Create App”.
   

   

4. Now your Live App is created and you can get the Live Client ID from the field “Client ID”
   

   

Adding IDs to the platform:

1. Now that you have both the Test Client ID and Live Client ID, go to Event Setup >> Payments >> Integration, and under PayPal paste these IDs and save the page.
   

   

2. Now the PayPal integration is complete and you can start using payment in your event.
