If you use PayPal as a checkout option for your e-commerce store, we must connect it directly to your website's payment gateway. This requires us to access your PayPal Business account to generate API credentials.

PayPal allows you to create secondary users so you never have to share your primary login or risk exposing your linked bank accounts.

Business Account Required

You must have a PayPal Business account to add secondary users. Personal PayPal accounts do not support this feature or the API integrations required for professional e-commerce.

Log in to PayPal. Go to paypal.com and sign in to your Business account.

Navigate to Account Settings. Hover over your name or profile icon in the top right corner and click Account Settings.

Go to Manage Users. In the left-hand menu, under "Account access," locate "Manage Users" and click Update (or Manage).

Add a user. Click the Add User button.

Enter our details. * First Name: Chykalophia * Last Name: Support * User ID: You can make this chykalophia * Email: support@chykalophia.com

Select permissions. On the privileges page, you only need to check the boxes related to integration. Select Access APIs and developer support (and Integration if listed separately). Leave all permissions related to moving money, processing refunds, or viewing bank details unchecked.

Save and finish. Click Save to send the invitation.
