Connect Your PayPal Pro Account

Connect your organization's PayPal Pro account to allow your members to pay by credit or debit card while making a payment through AMO. Payments through PayPal Pro can be used for purchases including events, membership, the online store, donation, or a generic invoice. Members will never be taken over to the PayPal site but will stay on the same page as their registration, creating a seamless checkout process. 

Before You Begin

You'll need to create an API signature, and have your API Username and API Password ready. 

To create an API signature:

1. Login to your organization's PayPal business account.
   • For live credentials, login to your PayPal business account at www.paypal.com.
   • For test credentials, login to the PayPal sandbox at www.sandbox.paypal.com with a sandbox business account.
2. Click the settings icon at the top of your PayPal account page and then click "Account Settings."
3. On the Account Access page, click "Update" for the API access item.
4. In the NVP/SOAP API Integration (Classic) section, click "Manage API Credentials"
   • Note: If you have already generated an API signature, clicking "Manage API Credentials" displays the signature information. If you must generate an API signature, click "Remove" to delete the existing API signature.
5. Select Request API signature.
6. Click "Agree and Submit" to save changes.

Link Your Account

Once you have your API signature, API username, and API password, navigate within AMO to Financial Information > Credit Card Settings.

1. Select PayPal Website Payments Pro – API from the dropdown menu.
2. Match up the presented fields as follows:
   • AMO Field: Account Login = PayPal Field: API Username
   • AMO Field: Account Password = PayPal Field: API Password
   • Type: "Paypal" (exactly as typed here without the quotation marks) into the Partner Field
   • AMO Field: Signature = PayPal Field: Signature
3. Click "Update Credit Card Settings" to save changes.
