Setting up the PayPal payment option

To set up PayPal as a payment option, you have to create a new App to link your company's PayPal business account with MyQ, and then set up the PayPal payment option on the MyQ Web Interface.

1. Log in to the PayPal Developer environment (https://developer.paypal.com/) with your PayPal Business account's credentials, and then open the Dashboard.

2. On the Dashboard, under MyApps & Credentials, create a new REST API app. The new app's settings tab opens.
