Setting up an existing PayPal account

In order to use the PayPal Express Checkout integration, you will need to sign up for or set up a PayPal Business account.

Merchants not yet open for business

To set up an existing PayPal Business account:

From the Open for Business Control Panel, click the "Payment Methods" link.
Click Set Up My First Payment Method.
Select the Yes option, select the option for PayPal Express Checkout, and click Next.
Read the information and click Configure PayPal Account.
Log in to your PayPal account and complete the steps outlined by PayPal.

Merchant already open for business

To setup an existing PayPal Business account:

From the Store Manager, click the "Payment Center" link appearing in the Order Settings column.
Click Add New Processor.
Select the option for PayPal Express Checkout and click Next.
Read the information and click Configure PayPal Account.
Log in to your PayPal account and complete the steps outlined by PayPal.

Notes:

Only US PayPal account holders will be able to sign up. At this time, PayPal does not support non-US account holders for this integration of PayPal Express Checkout.
Only merchants with a confirmed PayPal email address can use the default transaction setting of "automatic capture" to accept PayPal orders. Merchants that have not confirmed their email address with PayPal should either login and do so before publishing their order settings, or set their PayPal transaction settings to "authorize only". Failure to do so will mean buyers will not be able to use PayPal as a payment method.
The PayPal email address you enter serves as login credentials when Yahoo! communicates with PayPal for transactions. If you delete the email address from your PayPal account, Yahoo! will no longer be able to communicate with PayPal to conduct transactions on your behalf. For this reason, merchants should use an email address that they will not delete from their PayPal account.
