🚀 How to Get Your Live PayPal Client ID and Secret Key 🔐

If you’re integrating PayPal with your website or app, you’ll need your Live PayPal Client ID and Secret Key to start accepting real payments. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get them:

Step 1: Log in to PayPal Developer Dashboard

👉 Go to the PayPal Developer Dashboard.
👉 Log in with your PayPal Business account.

Step 2: Create a New Live App

1️⃣ Navigate to My Apps & Credentials on the left panel.
2️⃣ Switch to the Live tab (not Sandbox).
3️⃣ Click Create App, enter a name for your app (e.g., “MyStore Checkout”), and click Create App.

Step 3: Get Your Credentials

After the app is created:
✔ Client ID: Copy the long alphanumeric string under “Live Credentials.”
✔ Secret Key: Click Show to reveal and copy it.

💡 Tip: Keep these secure! Never expose them in your front-end code or public repositories.

Step 4: Go Live

Make sure your integration is switched from Sandbox Mode to Live Mode for real transactions. Test your payment flow to ensure everything works perfectly.
