Note
- if you use Agile Paypal Parallel module, you do not need Application ID, you only need API credentials.
- if you use Sandbox mode, you can use the Application ID that showing at the module configuration screen.
How to get Application ID from Paypal
1. Create a developer profile at https://developer.paypal.com/developer/applications/
Usually the developer of the module or developer of your online store needs to do this for you. But because it is linked to your Paypal account, you have to log in to your Paypal account. So for safety purposes, it is better that you (store owner) to do it yourself.
