Setting up a merchant account at PayPal

Before you can use PayPal in your webshop, you need to have a PayPal business account and API credentials, consisting of the three elements API username, API password and API signature. If you do not have a business account, you can create it on PayPal's website and then request API credentials. Note them down - you will need them to set up PayPal in Mamut Business Software.
