How do I set Connect with PayPal user profile options for my REST API app?
For security reasons, PayPal recommends passing the absolute minimum number of attributes required for your integration, which is why all attributes beyond Full name must be reviewed and approved.
Note: For best results, set these options in the sandbox environment first, confirm that they meet your expectations, and then duplicate the same option settings in your live PayPal account.
Here's how to set your Connect with Paypal options:
- Go to the PayPal Developer Portal and log into the Dashboard.
- Under My Apps and Credentials, toggle to Sandbox or Live depending on which environment you are working in, and scroll down to the REST API apps section.
- Click the app for which you want to set Connect with PayPal options.
- Scroll down to the app settings section and check the box for Connect with PayPal.
- Click Advanced Options and select the information you want to request from your customers:
Personal Profile
- Full name (default, required)
- Email (approval required)
Address Information
- Street address (approval required)
- City (approval required)
- State (approval required)
