Configuration field reference for PayPal Adaptive Payments gateway integration

This document provides a reference for configuring the PayPal Adaptive Payments gateway, detailing common fields and credentials required for integration.

Common configuration fields

There are some common fields you must complete for every gateway configuration. We recommend reviewing our Setup Payment Gateway documentation for information on these common fields:

  • Name

  • Use Gateway Test Environment​​

Credentials

  • Application ID : Your PayPal account's identification. This ID is issued by PayPal.

  • User ID : ​This is your API User Name.

  • Password : This is your API Password for your API User Name (above).

  • Signature : This is your signature.

  • ​Receiver Email : ​This is the email address for the receiver of the payments. Since Zuora only supports Simple Payments where the merchant is the receiver, your (the merchant's) email address for your PayPal account can be used here; this should be the PayPal account in which you will receive the funds for payment transactions processed.

  • Rules : Similar to the Verify credit card rules for other payment gateway configurations, if the Verify new Pre-Approval Key and/or the Verify updated Pre-Approval Key are selected, Zuora will send a verification request (using the PayPal Adaptive Payments Validate() ) to check whether or not the Pre-Approval Key is still valid whenever a new payment method is created and/or when the payment method is updated.
