Key Features and Benefits

How to Integrate PayPal

Step 1: Create and Access Your PayPal Account

  1. Visit developer.paypal.com to create or log in to your PayPal account.
  2. Once logged in, navigate to your PayPal Dashboard.

  1. Click My Apps & Credentials.
  2. Choose the Live app option.

NOTE: Be sure you have selected the Live app option, vs. Sandbox. The Sandbox option and credentials are used to test Paypal. You will need to create a Live app and use Live credentials in order to actually process payments.

  1. Click the Create App button.
  2. Choose an app name and click Create App.

  1. You’ll now be able to view your Client ID and Secret ID. (The Secret ID may be hidden - you may need to click “Show” in order for it to display on the page.) Copy both the Client ID and Secret ID as you’ll need to paste them into Mastermind momentarily to complete the integration.

Step 2: Integrate PayPal to Mastermind

  1. Navigate to Payments > Integrations.
  2. Add your Client ID and Secret ID from your PayPal account that you copied in Step 1.

  1. Click Save to confirm the integration.

Using PayPal Pay Later

Businesses can now offer PayPal Pay Later as a payment method, applicable for one-time purchases on both 1-step and 2-step order forms and upsell purchases. This feature appears as a button below the PayPal button during checkout, encouraging customers to complete their purchases by providing a flexible payment option.
