If you wish to add Paypal as a payment gateway to your campaign, follow these steps.
Register a Paypal Business account
Once you get to the Paypal home page, you must click on '' Create account '' at the top of the page.
Select that you wish to sign up for a "Business Account," click "Continue¨ and then enter your company email and create a password.
Next, complete the form with details of your business and click on "Accept and continue" when everything is ready:
Select your business type and any corresponding subcategories.
Next, you will need to add details about the person in charge of the organisation.
Once you have submitted all the required information you should receive an email from Paypal with a link to verify your email address. Click on the link, enter your password and click '' Confirm.''
❗️Important: if you wish to offer Paypal as an option for recurring donations, you must activate the Reference transactions by contacting Paypal.
Add the API keys to Stockcrowd
Once you have finished the process of registering your Paypal Business account, or if you already have one, the next step is to access the API keys within your Paypal account to be able to enter them in the Stockcrowd BackOffice. To access them follow these simple steps:
Step 1 | Access your Paypal account using your username and password.
Step 2 | Click on Tools > All Tools and then go to API credentials and click "Open."
Step 3 | Access the keys
From the API credentials go to "NVP/SOAP API integration (Classic) and click on “Manage API credentials."
At this point, it is likely that a verification code will be sent to the mobile phone registered in the Paypal account.
Step 4 | Keys
Once you have verified your account, you will be able to see the necessary data to configure Paypal as a payment method in your campaign.
You will need to copy the following data:
API Username
API Password
API Signature
Step 5 | Enter the keys in Stockcrowd
Once you have the Paypal keys, enter your campaign and go to Settings> Payment Gateways> Paypal.
Enter the information and click on "Save changes."
❗️If Paypal is going to be your only payment method make sure that the radiobutton on the left is selected. If it will be an alternative payment method, then the primary payment gateway should be selected.
