Hi! I’ve read the KB on setting up Community Tickets and it left me hanging with an image of a blank set of the below input fields (I need walked through what to input where!). I am new to APIs and honestly don’t want to learn them *other than* setting up my Community Tickets to do split payments. I have set everything up except for the below fields (some of them) – particularly where do I get a PayPal API signature? Please read on to see what I’m having trouble with….<\/p>\n

What exactly from the PayPal Developer platform do I put for these fields? The field names do not match up between the Community Tickets\/Events Calendar Pro plugin settings on my site and the PayPal Developer site’s info.<\/p>\n

On Community Tickets setup in WordPress:
\nPayPal API username (is this the paypal username I logged into PayPal Dev with?)
\nPayPal API password (is this the paypal password I logged into PayPal Dev with? Also why is it not hidden?)
\nPayPal API signature (what is this?)
\nPayPal client ID (I do see this…long letters and numbers)
\nReceiver email (I assume this is me, the site admin, my paypal address for the ticket fee to go to?)<\/p>\n

On PayPal Developer, I see this:
\nMy Apps\/\/I created a “REST API app” – is this correct?
\nThen I get the following fields:
\nLive:
\nPayPal address: ____
\nClient ID: ____
\nSecret: ____
\nWebhooks, etc.<\/p>\n

I do not see a signature in paypal! I do not know if I am putting in the correct username\/pwd!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sandbox:
\nSandbox account: (this is one email I think it generated for me – I don’t even know how I’d fetch these emails if it’s used???)
\nClient ID: ____
\nSecret: ____
\nWebhooks, etc.<\/p>\n

Also, I am assuming because my paypal stuff wasn’t set up right (the signature anyway) that this is why my tickets aren’t showing up in test events?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please talk to me like I’m a kindergartner and help me set this up. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Thanks!
