How to get PayPal Client Id and Secret Key?

In order to integrate Express Checkout with the REST API, a 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.
