am doing my sandbox testing with developer credentials. when i want to go live, should I (developer) get business account and thereby live credentials? if i develop an app for someone, why can't i have other person who has a business create paypal account (on developer.paypal.com??) and get live credentials? then use those credentials in app. as a developer i can submit the app to paypal and manage it. but i don't want to create premier business account.
https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/lifecycle/goingLive/
above doc says:
"All calls to PayPal operations are made through the application account, which is a PayPal account that is controlled by the application owner. ...To obtain live PayPal credentials, you must have a verified Premier or verified Business PayPal account."
:
:
"
Log in to the PayPal Developer website using the credentials of the PayPal account registered to the application owner.
Note that the PayPal account associated with the application must be a verified Premier or verified Business account."
could someone clarify?
thanks.
You can develop/test a couple different ways....
You can have your merchant that you are developing for login to dev portal, create the app, and then provide you with their test credentials. This way when you go Live, they just need to enable their Live credentials, provide them to you, and then you can swap the test credentials out for the Live ones.
You can develop/test with your app you created in your developer portal and your test credentials. When you want to go Live then you would need the merchant to go into their dev portal, create an app, enable their Live credentials, and then have them provide those credentials to you.
The first way is going to be less of a headache for you (in my opinion) because then you will be testing with the same App from development to Live. Also, this way you know that the App has been created and the merchant can enable their Live credentials while you are developing/testing versus waiting for them to do all of that when you are ready to go Live.

I was approached to build an iOS app for a company. What would be the best way to go about this when developing and managing the project?
Would I publish this under my developer profile?
Should they create their own developer profile and have them give me the credentials?
Should we get a developer account and be members of a team?
Yes!! Client needs to create their own Apple Developer Account for current and future applications.
They needs to have paid account to publish App on store. Meanwhile either they can add you as developer or share the original credentials with your so you can sign the application with development and distribution certificates for Notification and publish.
It's a one time JOB, but trust me best option for You and your Client as well.
Here is your start.
id go with option 2 .... definitely not 1 so that they 'own' the final outcome and also you want to keep your account free of external dependencies
There are three ways you can go about release an app for client:
Release the app on your account and have a written agreement between yourself and the client to forward profits from the app to the client.
Ask them to give your Apple ID access to their account so you can upload it to their account (they shouldn't really give you their credentials for security reasons.
Upload the app to your account and once its gone through the review process you can then transfer ownership of the app from your account to theirs. (Documentation here)
I have a client with an apple developer account. Its brand new and we are both new to Apple.
He has paid to developer an iphone app.
The developer wants to publish the app directly to the store.
The client does not want to share login details for the account.
What options are there?
I am asking because I know on Google Play Developer console you could invite someone to manage your account (or give them publishing priviledges) by inviting them using their gmail email via the console.
Easiest solution. Tell your client to change his password and give you the new password. Publish the app on iTunes, tell your client to change his password back. If he doesn't trust you enough to give you a half-hour access to his account, why on earth does he trust you to write the app in the first place.
Next easiest solution (assumes you have a paid up account.) You publish the app on your account and mark it so it doesn't automatically go in the store after approval. Once the app is approved, transfer ownership to him. There are a whole bunch of restrictions on this process, including No iCloud, Passbook or in-app purchase subscriptions. For more details, Google "Transferring and Deleting iOS Apps" or see [https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/iTunesConnect_Guide/Chapters/TransferringAndDeletingApps.html]
Next easiest solution would be to give the customer access to the source and explain to him how to build the app and put it in the store.
-- Addition --
A new solution is available now. The client could give you admin privileges to his appstore (https://appstoreconnect.apple.com) account.
The easiest solution to this funny question is to let your client share his screen with logged in account at iTunes Connect (via Team Viewer for example). You do all your job and it's all.
I am using paypal MPL library in my application that is working fine in sandbox mode and I am using Application-id APP-80W284485P519543T for testing mode .
From the application the customer can make payment to one reciepient that is static and payment will go to my client account .
Now i want to make my app live and i need live AppId for Paypal MPL .

So , I just want to know that from where i can get Appid for paypal MPL.
should i need to create App again from client account.
I didn't upload any app using paypal.
any help or suggestion will be helpfull.
MPL uses Classic App ID, you need to create Classic App instead of Rest App.
Log in to the PayPal Developer website using the credentials of the PayPal account registered to the application owner.
Note that the PayPal account associated with the application must be a verified Premier or verified Business account.
Click Applications on the nav bar to access the My Applications page.
Click Create and Manage Classic API Apps link at the bottom of the page to access the My Applications page.
(Alternately, you can go directly to the My Applications page by navigating to the My Apps page on the Developer Portal.)
Click New App on the left nav bar to access the App Information form.
Complete the form and click the Submit App button.To ensure the fastest possible application review, supply as much information as possible when completing the submittal form.

I am developing an iphone app, i want to integrate it with PayPal which will use rest API.
I downloaded SDK 1.0.4 for iOS from this.
https://github.com/paypal/PayPal-iOS-SDK
There is a sample code given by PayPal.
But in this app i need to change PayPal client id and email address.
define kPayPalClientId #"YOUR CLIENT ID HERE"
define kPayPalReceiverEmail #"YOUR_PAYPAL_EMAIL#yourdomain.com"
how to get PayPal client id?
and how can i test it if money is transfered or not with the single PayPal account?
You can obtain your PayPal API credentials, including Client ID, by visiting the Applications page on the PayPal Developer site and logging in with your PayPal account.
Once logged in on this page, you will be assigned a sandbox Client ID, which will let you test your iOS integration against the PayPal sandbox. In your code, set the receiver email to a business sandbox account email address, then use a personal sandbox account email and password to log in to PayPal in the UI of your app. You can create business and personal sandbox accounts on the Sandbox accounts page.
To obtain your live Client ID, you will need to have a business account. If you don't yet have a business account, there is a link at the bottom of that same Applications page that will get you started. For live transactions, use your PayPal email address as the receiver email.
Log in to https://developer.paypal.com and click the Applications tab.
On the https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/applications/myapps click Create App.
On the Create New App page, provide an app name.
Click Create App, and then review the information displayed about your app (as described below)
now you will get client id
Do I need to pay the $30 just to play around in the sandbox for Website Payments Pro? I'm trying to get Active Merchant working in Rails, and it's giving me an error "invalid merchant configuration"... after digging around a bit it says I need to "accept the billing agreement" and/or sign up for the Payments Pro first. So, do I need to pay the $30 just to test in sandbox? Or is there another workaround for this error?
It's also possible to create a preconfigured Website Payments Pro account in PayPal Sandbox.
After you log in to https://developer.paypal.com/, go to Test Accounts, click Preconfigured next to New test account. On Account Type, choose Website Payments Pro, fill in the rests of the form, and submit it.
You can create a Payments Pro account in the sandbox. Basically, login to the developer site, then create a preconfigured test account of type "Website Payments Pro". You'll have to put in some other fake info (it's sandbox, it's not for real) per the section on creating preconfigured accounts, but it will solve the "invalid merchant configuration" if you're coming across that problem.
