Where do I get my PayPal API Credentials?

Your PayPal API credentials are a combination of three fields that allows us to access your PayPal account, and set up the necessary payment information to integrate PayPal Express Checkout to your Pixieset Store. You can obtain your API credentials directly from your PayPal account, or via our API Credential retrieval tool.
