You need a PayPal Business account, API Signature and Credentials, and you need to be subscribed in Website Payments Pro Hosted Solutions.

1. Verify your account status

Go to your PayPal Profile under Settings, scroll to the bottom and verify that your Account Type is Business.

2. Get your API Credentials

Once verified, select from the menu at the top Tools » All Tools, and then Integrate PayPal from the menu on the left.

Select API Credentials, and under NVP/SOAP API Integration, click on Manage API credentials.

If this is your first time, you’ll be presented with the Request API Credentials page, with an option selected by default to Request API signature (leave it selected), and a button, Agree and Submit, which you can click after reading and agreeing to the license agreement.

Once generated, you’ll be presented with the View or Remove API Signature page, from where you can copy the API Username, API Password and Signature credentials over to the PayPal Hosted settings page on your site

Note: to test payments via the PayPal sandbox, you’ll require separate credentials for which you need a PayPal Developer account.
