   •  Username, Password, Signature: The Credentials provided by PayPal. In order to get your credentials see the following instructions.
   • Live Mode: When you have finished testing the payment gateway in 'Test Mode', you can enable the checkbox 'Live Mode' to have the gateway fully functional for your customers.
   • Active: This checkbox is responsible for activating and deactivating this payment gateway. 
   • Marketplace callback URL: The callback URL used by PayPal to notify BSS for the payment result. This should be in the form of http[s]://domain.com/marketplace/[org-alias]/[storefront-v4-alias] [...]=optional. The "storefront-v4-alias" is needed only if you are using our newly Storefront v4
   • Storefront v4: Check this if your are using our newly Storefornt v4. Note: You can use the gateway only in one Storefront at a time, either v3 or v4
     
     

Now that the PayPal gateway is activated in Cloud BSS, the last step is to create a payment method inside the BSS that will use your Gateway.

1. Navigate to Setup > Administration > System Options > Payment Methods
2. Create a new payment method of Type Credit Card, with Zero Payment Days and PayPal Express as the selected Payment Gateway and set it to Active by enabling its corresponding checkbox.
3. Lastly, click the Save button in order to save the new payment method.
