Integrating PayPal For Accepting Payments

Home

PayPal is a global payment gateway that supports online money transfers and functions as a highly secure platform for many businesses worldwide. Many event attendees prefer using it for their ticket booking, making it one of our preferred transaction portals. When integrated with Yapsody, it allows you to accept payment via major credit services like Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express online. 

Steps To Integrate PayPal For Accepting Payments

1. Set Up Your Account

Set up a Premier or Business account with PayPal, if you haven’t already. Yapsody requires a premier or business account to link PayPal to your event website. 

2. Verify Your PayPal Account

Make sure that your PayPal account is created and verified before you start selling tickets. You’ll receive a confirmation email from PayPal. 

3. Request API Credentials

After setting up your Premier or Business account, follow these steps to request your API Username, API Password, and API Signature. Go to their website and log into your account.

Select ‘All Tools’ option from the drop-down menu shown under ‘Tools’

 Scroll down the page and click on “API Credentials” option 

You will be displayed multiple options like Pre-built Payment Solution, Checkout SDK Integration, and NVP/SOAP API Integration. Select the option View/Request API Signature under the option NVP/SOAP API Integration.

Your API credentials will be displayed to you. Click on ‘Show’ to view the API credentials.

Once you’ve set up your merchant account, you will receive the API credentials that you need to enter in Yapsody.

4. Add Payment Method

Login to your Yapsody Account and click on the Accept Payments tab and select the ‘Add Payment Method‘

Once, you select the PayPal option, enter all the API details of your merchant account. After entering all the details conduct a ‘Test Transaction’ to ensure if all the details entered are correct.
