Paypal Identity Token – Where to Find & How to Use

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

Step 3: Click ‘Profile and Settings’

Step  4: Click the ‘Selling Tools’ tab

Step 5: Click on the ‘Update’ option in the ‘Website Preferences’ tab

Step 6: Select ‘On‘ for Auto Return & fill the Return url

Step7: Select ‘On‘ for Payment Data Transfer, Scroll to the bottom & click Save

Step 8: Copy the Identity Token (everything after the word “Website:” in the new window)

There you have your PayPal Identity Token

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

Yes, Absolutely.
