PayPal Adaptive Payment Setup

AppID: APP-80W284485P519543T is for testing only. It cannot be used to accept real payments and can only be used with API Access info obtained from PayPal Sandbox accounts. Never use your real PayPal Account's API Access info with AppID: APP-80W284485P519543T for either testing (Test mode) purpose or going Live. Using real PayPal accounts (as either sender or receiver) in Test mode will not work according to PayPal's restrictions.

Going Live

How to get started

  1. Check your account status. Login to PayPal. Go to your PayPal Profile and click My settings. Confirm that your Account type is either Premier or Business, or upgrade your account.
  2. Check your API settings. Click My selling tools. Expand Selling online if needed and check API access. Click Update and Add or edit API permission or View API signature.
  3. Test your integration using the PayPal Sandbox, as described in Testing Classic API Calls. All Adaptive API calls in the Sandbox must have the following standard value as the App ID:
    APP-80W284485P519543T
  4. To go live with your application, follow the submission steps outlined in Going Live with Your Application. When you submit your application to PayPal for review, the application is quickly scanned for the requests to PayPal operations. If no “advanced” operations are found, PayPal issues an App ID for the production servers at the time you submit the application. If your application uses “advanced” PayPal operations, or if your application implements a complex business model, you can expect the review to take approximately 10 – 15 days.
