2) Select "PayPal" as your payment processor.
3) Enter the email you use for your business PayPal account.
4) Select your desired "Currency".
5) Click "Update and connect PayPal".
STEP 2 - Set Language Encoding and add your PayPal PDT Token
1) Log in to PayPal and go to PayPal button language encoding.
2) Set the Encoding to ETF-8, Leave the radio button set to Yes (Do you want to use the same encoding for data sent from PayPal to you?).
3) Click Save.
4) Go to Website payment preferences.
5) Scroll down and switch on Auto Return and put in your Hey Marvelous studio link. The format is https://yourstudioname.heymarvelous.com.
6) Scroll down again and switch on Payment Date Transfer and copy the characters next to Identity Token.
7) Go to your Paypal's IPN settings by clicking here.
Click on Edit Settings and then set https://api.heymarvelous.com/paypal-callback as your Notification URL and make sure that Receive IPN messages (Enabled) is selected.
Once saved your Instant Payment Notification or IPN should look like the screenshot below.
