PayPal Setup

Starting with version 1.1, the tagDiv Opt-in Builder plugin includes the Direct or PayPal online payment options.

How to set up the PayPal Payment

To set up your PayPal payment is a simple process. After you install and activate tagDiv Opt-in Builder, you’ll need to know the App Client ID. Below, we’re demonstrating how to configure it using the PayPal Sandbox:

1. Login to your PayPal Account and access developer section.

2. By default, you will have 2 sandbox test accounts ( business and personal ) which can be used for testing. However, you can create your own accounts. The Business Account will be used to configure the tagDiv Opt-In Builder PayPal Settings, while the Personal Account will be used to pay the subscription, as you can see bellow:

3. Under My Apps & Credentials section, you can find the Default Application (you can create your own App and associate it with you business account) which is associated with the default business account.
