How do I set up PayPal as a payment gateway?
As a hosting reseller, you need to be able to receive money from your customers. To do this you’ll need to set up a payment gateway. PayPal is the most commonly-used payment gateway, so if you’re looking to get started then we’d recommend adding PayPal first.
To setup PayPal as a HostShop payment gateway:
-
Log in to My20i
-
Head to Customers > Overview
-
Select Payments > Payment Gateways from the navigation menu on the left-hand side.
From the Add a Payment Gateway section, select PayPal.
To get these details:
-
Log in to the PayPal Developer area with your normal PayPal login details.
-
Head to the PayPal Apps & Credential section if you're not already taken there.
-
Make sure you're in the Live section as this is required to configure a live payment gateway.
-
Select Create App.
-
Give your app a name. In our example we've called ours HostShop.
-
Select Create App.
-
You'll now see your Client ID and the Secret required to set up the payment gateway. Select Show to Secret Key.
-
Copy the Client ID and Secret into their respective fields within 20i.
-
Select Add Payment Gateway.
PayPal will now be set up and enabled. This means that when customers head to your shop, they'll be able to select PayPal as a payment method from the basket to pay for your services.
