PayPal Link Prerequisites

Before you can integrate PayPal Link, you must set up your development environment and optionally add mutual SSL, and meet requirements to display PayPal pages on mobile devices.

Set up your development environment

Before you can integrate PayPal Link, you must set up your development environment. After you get a token that lets you access protected REST API resources, you create sandbox accounts to test your web and mobile apps. For details, see Get started.

Then, return to this page to integrate PayPal Link.

Add Mutual SSL

You can optionally integrate Mutual SSL as an additional channel protection for PayPal Link.

• The browser address bar must be visible.
• The secure lock button in the browser address bar must be visible.
• PayPal pages must display in a full page or use the appropriate OS technology:
