2. Click on the "Settings" tab to view all of the various settings that are available.
3. You will need to enter you PayPal email address before you can accept PayPal Standard payments.

Within the admin area, you can view and manage your payments, subscriptions, invoices, items and settings. For all of the different settings available, there is some help text right underneath each input field that exlains what the setting does.

Subscription Settings

On the admin settings page, you can set your subscription/recurring payment settings by clicking on the "Subscription Settings" tab.

Production vs Sandbox

When first setting up the payment terminal, it is recommended that you set the PayPal environment to sandbox mode. After you have done some testing and verified that everything is working properly, you can switch the environment over to production. Once in production, you are ready to accept live payments through PayPal.
