​Please take a look at this article carefully to make sure you have the proper setup of PayPal payments.

Setting up online payments involves several steps:

  1. Create a PayPal business account 

  2. Get your PayPal client ID and secret key.

  3. Add your PayPal client ID and secret key to Teach 'n Go.

1. Create a PayPal business account:

  • Visit PayPal and create a business account. Ensure it's a business account, not personal, as the account name will appear on customer receipts.

  • The name of the PayPal account you create will appear on customer receipts when payments are made, so it's best to use something your customers are familiar with.

2. Get your PayPal ID and secret key

  • Log in to the PayPal developer website using your business account.

  • You will need to create an app that will be used to handle online payments

  • Ensure you're in Live Mode.

  • Create an app and name it.

  • Your Client ID and Secret Key will be generated on the next screen. Transfer both keys to your Teach 'n Go account.

3. Add your PayPal client ID and secret key to Teach 'n Go

  • Log into your Teach 'n Go account and navigate to the School Settings page.

  • In the PayPal Credentials section, check the checkbox to enable payments.

  • Enter the PayPal client ID and secret key you obtained earlier. Remember to save after entering them.

With these steps completed, you're ready to accept online PayPal payments from your customers!
