    Default API Signature??

    Hi!

    I think I am missing something! I am trying to config. my Paypal Express Checkout thingy... :)

    And I am to the part where it wants my API Signature (56 charater code)

    I logged into my paypal account and went to API Access and this is all I see:

    Grant API Permissions
    Request API Certificate

    Can someone please lead me to the place where I can get my API Signature?? PLEASE!!

    thanks so much!

    I don't have a signature rather a Certificate. How would I go about getting a signature.

    Click on request API certificate and you will get everything you need to complete the set up of the module.

    Thanks for your reply clyde, but I have had a PayPaly Cert since 10/05 and an api username and password. Do I copy the entire content of the cert_key_pem.txt file into the API Signature area?

    My cert has the following (3) areas

    API User Name:
    API password:
    Signature: 56 alphanumeric characters.
