Login with PayPal (formerly Connect with PayPal) is a commerce identity solution that enables your customers to sign in to your online store quickly and securely using their PayPal login credentials. Login with PayPal uses the latest security standards.
To enable the Login with PayPal feature in your online store, you need to complete the following steps:
PayPal App Creation
To create a PayPal application for your website, follow the procedure below:
In your PayPal Developer Dashboard, navigate to My Apps & Credentials and click the Create App button.
Specify the app name, type, and business account on the app creation page. Then, click Create App to complete the procedure.
