[SOLVED] CBSubs GPL PayPal Advanced Signup Questions

I, too, am trying to configure PayPal Advanced using CBSubs 3.0, Community Builder 1.9 and Joomla 2.5.9.

When "Payflow Vendor" is left blank I get "Payment basket can not complete" as seen in image pay_1.

When I use my PayPal login email address or Merchant ID, as PayPal says is my vendor id, I get "Error: Invalid Merchant or Merchant doesn't exist" as seen in image pay_2.

I followed the instructions to get the Vendor ID from the tool tip and there isn't a Vendor ID listed with the API Signature as seen in image pay_3.

Is there another source for the Vendor ID? Am I looking in the wrong place?

Thank you for your consideration.

Regards,

Squire

There's 2 API access request pages. You need to click the other one. The below is what you need (instructions provided to you when editing the gateway).

My account - Profile - My selling tools - API access - Request API credentials - Set up Payflow Pro API access

If it's not there please ensure your account is activated for PayPal Advanced. Note you need a Business account. A Premier account for example will not work. To begin navigate to the below and click "Get Started" with the PayPal Advanced package you want.
