    Default API Username

    Hi there I am trying to find out what the API username is for zencart so I can get the API from paypal.

    here is the help comment from paypal,

    1. Contact your shopping cart or solution provider for your API account username. Then enter it in the API account username box.


    I have a business account on paypal,

    I go to profile in payal
    then API Access
    then Grant API Permission

    it then asks me for the following

    Enter API account username:
    Select Your API Access Level:
    Direct Payment
    PayPal Express Checkout
    Reporting and Backoffice APIs
    Authorization and Settlement APIs

    I only need to find out what the APi account username is??

    Anyone point me in the correct direction,

    Many thanks

    Chris

    Default Re: API Username

    The API Username is unique to your Paypal account. Rather than selecting the "Grant API Permission" option under Paypal's API Access, you need to "Request API Credentials". This will generate the Username, Password and Signature Code that you need.
