You can accept payments via PayPal on your websites created with Nicepage. You need a PayPal account to get the PayPal Client ID, which you assign to Payments.

   PayPal API Environments

   PayPal provides two separate environments for API credentials:

   • Sandbox Mode
     Used only for testing and development. No real payments are processed.
   • Live Mode
      Used in production to accept real payments from customers.

   Important Notes

  1. Sandbox credentials cannot be used to process real payments.
      A Sandbox Client ID works only in the Sandbox environment.
  2. A separate Client ID is required for Live Mode.
      To accept real payments, you must create a new Client ID in the Live environment.
