December 27, 2016 by Rahul

Integrating PayPal with Woocommerce (or any other platform) can be a real trouble. Especially with PayPal’s ever-changing interface. You never know where things are anymore. Here’s the step by step guide (with snapshots) to help you find the PayPal Identity Token for integrating with WordPress (or any other platform).

Step 1: Login to Your ‘PayPal Business Account‘

Note: ‘PayPal Identity Token’ is available for ‘Business and Premier’ accounts only.

So if you have a personal account, you will need to upgrade your account to get a PayPal identity token.

Step 2: Click on Profile option at the top right of the page

One question that a few of you might have is: Is it safe to share PayPal Identity Token with a developer?

Yes, Absolutely.

      Can you try entering your domain name as your return URL?
      That should solve the problem.

      If not then please reply with the URL and a snapshot of the problem.
