Paypal have changed their user interface and it can prove quite tricky to find the credentials to set up PayPal Express Checkout on your Sellerdeck website.
Here is how it is done.
Login to your PayPal account
In the menu bar across the top click tools then from the dropdown click ‘All Tools’.
From the five boxes displayed click Business Setup in the bottom row
Click ‘Option A’ then Click ‘Setup API Access’
On the page that opens scroll down to ‘NVP/SOAP API integration (Classic)‘
Click Manage API credentials
You are now in a page with the familiar old Gold Title Text!
The three things you need are here:
Credential ---— Signature
API Username —--- Show
API Password —--- Show
Signature — Show
Click ‘'Show'’ to reveal and copy into the configuration box for PayPal Express Checkout within Sellerdeck (Don’t-click show here – it won’t work!)
PayPal Website Payments Pro
For PayPal Website Payments Pro which costs £20 per month go to: https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/paypal-pro
Fill in your details and press submit and someone will call you back in a day or three.
It would be wiser to choose the ‘PayPal Website Payments Pro Hosted Solution’ as in 18 months time (or when the FCA eventually decide) it may well be that ‘PayPal Website Payments Pro’ is not PSD2 compliant.
PayPal themselves suggest customers wishing to start PayPal Website Payments Pro (Hosted Solution) contact using the following direct link and phone number to the PayPal team that will help you to set up with Payments Pro.

Phone number: 0800 358 7929
"PayPal's agents will be able to take each customer through the process and advise them on what will be best for them considering their business model."
