Make PayPal Application Go Live After Receiving Live App ID

Question

I have receive the Live App ID for my PayPal app after I registered it, as well as tested its IPN in sandbox mode.

What would be the next steps to making the app go live?

Thank you.

Answer 1

you would swap out the sandbox URL to the live URL and secret/credentials with the new live credentials in your script. That's pretty much it. For most endpoints it is as simple as removing the ".sandbox." from the URL. for example

MERCHANT API SOAP "SANDBOX" ENDPOINT

https://api-3t.sandbox.paypal.com/2.0/

MERCHANT API SOAP LIVE ENDPOINT

https://api-3t.paypal.com/2.0/

This works for the rest API as well if I remember correctly.

here is the list of classic endpoints

and REST endpoints
