Getting PayPal Gateway
Currently PayPal offers two libraries (API) for Android:
--
PayPal REST API
The library was developed by PayPal not so long ago and is a convenient and up-to-date payment interface allowing users to pay with their credit cards and from PayPal accounts. A user can make a payment simply by scanning his credit card with a cell phone camera. But the interface has a drawback: it supports only the
US and
UK; so if you run your business in these countries you have nothing to worry about and all you have to do is to get Client ID and Secret Key for REST API and enable PayPal REST module in Android Settings from admin panel of your site. Here is how you can do it:
1. Go to
https://developer.paypal.com/ and sign in with your PayPal account.
2. Click
Dashboard in the top menu.
3. Click
Create App in the upper right corner of the page.
4. Enter name of your app in the form, for example Android and click Create.
5. Copy
Client ID and
Secret on the app details page and enter them in PayPal Billing that you can find in the
Admin Panel of your site,
Android Connect Settings.

PayPal MPL API
If you target markets
outside the US and UK you'll have to set up PayPal MPL API. This is an old system with an
old interface and is less convenient than PayPal REST API, but motherless it is fully operational and allows your users to pay for services from their PayPal accounts and credit cards. Here is an instruction on how to configure it:
Firstly you should go to page of Android App Settings and move to
PayPal MPL Billing section.
Here you can see
8 settings which we should prepare, here the instruction:
