  1. Log into your PayPal developer account and click on the ‘My Apps and Credentials‘ menu.
  2. Click on the ‘Create App‘ button in the ‘Sandbox‘ tab.

  5. Once you have your ‘Live Client ID‘ make sure you copy and paste it into the appropriate field in the WP Express Checkout plugin’s settings menu.
