To connect your WooCommerce store with PayPal and send shipment tracking updates, you’ll need to obtain your PayPal API Client ID and Secret from the PayPal Developer Dashboard.
1. Log in to PayPal Developer Portal
Go to: https://developer.paypal.com/
Use your PayPal Business account credentials to sign in.
2. Create or Select an App
- Navigate to: Dashboard > My Apps & Credentials
- Under REST API apps, either:
- Click Create App, or
- Click on an existing app if you already have one.
3. App Details
- Enter a name for your app (e.g., “WooCommerce Store”).
- Choose your sandbox or live environment:
- Sandbox: For testing only.
- Live: For real transactions.
4. Get Your Credentials
After creating the app:
- Client ID: Visible directly under the app name.
- Secret: Click Show to reveal your secret key.
📌 Note: Keep your Client Secret secure—never share it publicly.
5. Use the Credentials
Copy your Client ID and Secret, and paste them into your plugin or platform (e.g., AST PRO’s PayPal integration settings) to enable API communication.
