    Default Paypal wants my "API account username" ?

    I have a brand new installation of Zencart and so far it looks really cool. I've read through the FAQ and I've complete the installation successfully. But I've been banging my head against the wall trying to integrate zen cart with paypal. I've got paypal payment pro.

    Here's the point that's got me going

    Paypay wants me to enter my "API account username". So I enter my zencart username and it says: "Please enter valid API username." As far as I can see, I've only got one API username. I've tried it a dozen times. What am I doing wrong?

    thanks very much for your help

    It is a username that is asigned to you by Paypal. Sign in to your Paypal account and then go to your Profile page. Look under Account Information and click on API Access. Follow the instructions there.

    Edit: Or do what DrByte said. I was typing at the same time I guess.
