On the New gateway window:

If you don't see a default application, click the Create App button. A new page will display.

  1. Enter a unique name for the new API (e.g., Funnelish).

  2. Click Create App. The API credentials page will display.

  3. Come back to this article and scroll down to the API Credentials section.

For this tutorial, we'll use Sandbox credentials (for testing purposes only), but you can switch to Live ones if preferred.

If you use Sandbox credentials, remember to toggle the Test Mode option to On.

API Credentials

On the PayPal API credentials page:

  1. Click the Client ID field to copy the key.

  2. Open a step in your funnel and add a Payment Form element to your canvas.

  3. Click on the Payment Form and then click the Edit payment options button on the left panel.

  4. Click Add a new payment method and select the PayPal option.

  5. On the pop-up window, click on the Add New PayPal Gateway button.

  8. Go back to the PayPal page.

  9. Click the Show link (under the Secret heading) to expand the Secret folder.

  10. Copy the key and paste it into the Secret field.

Check that you added your PayPal credentials correctly:

  • If doing test purchases: use your sandbox credentials

  • If doing live purchases: use your real credentials

In both cases, make sure that you copied the whole client id and secret key and pasted it without pressing the tab key or adding extra spaces.

  1. (Optional) Enter your brand name.

  2. (If required) Switch the toggle to enable sandbox mode (Test Mode).

  3. (Optional) Enter the payee's email address.

  4. Click Create.
