How to Get PayPal Client ID and Secret Key?

In order to integrate Express Checkout with the REST API, a PayPal client ID that authenticates a merchant’s account with PayPal is necessary. A client ID can only be created by the account holder.

Ask the merchant to share their client ID with you if you’re a developer integrating Express Checkout on the client’s behalf. If the merchant hasn’t already done so, they must create a client ID.

Steps to find the PayPal ID and PayPal Client Secret Key:

1. Go to PayPal Developers Website home page.

2. Then Login to the dashboard.

You can log in with your mobile number using OTP and set up your profile by adding basic details.

3. Go to “[Your Name]“, then go to “Dashboard” in the top right corner. You will get an option to “Create App“. Create your new app.

4. Fill in the details for the new app and create a new app. A new screen will open.


5. On the next page, you will be able to see your PayPal Client ID and PayPal Client secret.

Note: You will find Sandbox App settings and credentials on the same page.


6. You have the PayPal Client ID and secret.

You need a developer, personal, or business account to access the Developer Dashboard, get credentials, and create sandbox accounts. Different levels of access to PayPal functionality are available with each account. On the My Account page in the Developer Dashboard, you can upgrade your account if you need access to a feature you don’t currently have.

On this page itself, you will get the Client Id and Client Secret in LIVE API CREDENTIALS section. However, you cannot use them until you complete step 5.

Step 6: Now when you have correctly selected the live APIs, you can use the client secret and client ID to let your customers log in to your store using their PayPal account.

Just copy and paste these API details in specified fields of your social login module and save the configuration. You are ready to accept PayPal social login on your store. In case you are using our Social Loginizer module for PrestaShop, OpenCart, or Magento then the interface to enter the PayPal API details will look something like this.
