Yes, it's a U.S. Paypal Pro account
Eric,
Here's what I'm doing. I login to Paypal -> Select Profile -> Account Information Request API credentials -> I"m given two options
Option 1 - PayPal API
PayPal API credentials identify you to PayPal with a unique API user name and password that allows you to make API calls. You can either grant permission to your shopping cart or solution provider, or request credentials for yourself.
1.) Learn more about the PayPal API
2.) Set up PayPal API credentials and permissions
Option 2 - Payflow Pro
Payflow Pro uses a set of system-generated identifiers to provide API access. You can either grant permission to your shopping cart or solution provider, or request credentials for yourself.
1.) Learn more about the Payflow Pro API
2.) Set up Payflow Pro API access
(See Screenshot)
I pick Option #1 (2.) and I Add/Edit Permissions. I get an API Username and I click on Edit
Next Pages says:
Give Third-Party API Permission
Select the specific API calls your shopping cart or storefront solution provider will be making for you.
I get a list of 50+ api calls that I can check from:
