Are you referring the API information are in your Paypal account, or the place in Zen Cart that you need to enter that API information (Admin > Modules > Payment?

Yes, referring to Article 3: Setup API Access in Paypal account. Can't locate the definition top navigation area under Profile.

It means you've got Debug Logging enabled within the module.

Hi Dr Byte
Yes, I activate under Debug Mode to Log and Email, does it related to (Debug)? or should I ignore it. But under the Payment Modules>Oder Status it's still Processing now....

Let me guess, you're thinking that "Processing" there means the system is doing something to activate your Paypal account?
That's incorrect.

The word "Processing" there, is ONLY telling you what status you've configured that module to assign to NEW ORDERS that get paid for when using that module. It has nothing to do with you needing to wait for anything before the module will work.

Thanks Dr Byte very clear explanation.
