### Welcome to the GitHub Repository for the PayPal Checkout extension for Easy Digital Downloads

PayPal Checkout Installation Instructions:

1. Install the plugin by uploading it under “Dashboard” > “Plugins” > “Add New” > “Upload”, and upload the zip file you received upon purchase. Once uploaded, click “Activate”.

2. Go to “Dashboard” > “Downloads” > “Settings” > “Payment Gateways” > “PayPal Checkout”, and click the button that says “Create a REST API app”.

3. In the tab that opens, click “Log into dashboard” at the top right to log into your PayPal account.

4. Once logged in, scroll down until you see “REST API apps”. If you don’t see it, go back to step 2 and click the button again to refresh the browser’s URL now that you’re logged in.

5. Click “Create App” under “REST API apps”.

6. Give your app a name, perhaps your website’s name, and click “Create App”.

7. After the app is created, at the top right, check if you see a “Sandbox/Live” toggle switch. Set to “Sandbox” mode and then copy/paste the Client ID and Secret into the EDD settings under “Dashboard” > “Downloads” > “Settings” > “Payment Gateways” > “PayPal Checkout”.

8. Set the toggle switch to “Live” mode and repeat the process to copy your live keys into the EDD settings.

9. Save the EDD Settings. You’re now ready to make test purchases and live purchases with PayPal Checkout.
