What you need

  • A REST app's client ID and secret
  • The ID of the webhook you register for that app

Connecting it

  1. In the PayPal developer dashboard, create a REST app under your business account.
  2. Add a webhook pointed at the URL the payment settings page shows you, and note its ID.
  3. Paste the client ID, secret and webhook ID into Payments → PayPal, then run the connection test.
  4. For Apple Pay, register your store's domain in PayPal and paste the domain-association file PayPal gives you into the same form.

Worth knowing

  • Disputes and claims are handled in PayPal's Resolution Center. Sellstamp records them on the order.
