Important: Use the “Return URI” field same as the Paypal Callback URL meentioned on the social login setting page. If these entries do not completely match the URL of your website, the application won’t work.

Underneath the “App feature options” First, uncheck “Accept Payments”, “Invoicing”, “Payouts” and keep only “Log In with PayPal” as checked.

Now click on “Advanced Options” under “Log in with PayPal”. We’ll need to change a few things in this section. You should:

Now, Copy the Client ID and Client Secret in to the Paypal App settings within the Plugin settings page (See image below).

Important: When you copy and paste all the needed IDs and Keys, make sure, that you don’t have any empty spaces, either at the beginning nor at the end of these entries. If you have any empty spaces, then the Application won’t work and will show an error message when you try to connect to the App.
