3. Submitting Your Application to PayPal
Before you distribute your mobile application publicly, you need an authorized application ID
from PayPal. PayPal tests all mobile applications before issuing application IDs. Test your mobile
application thoroughly in the PayPal Sandbox by using APP-80W284485P519543T as your test
application ID. Then, submit your test application to PayPal.
1. Log in or sign up on PayPal‟s developer website, x.com.
2. After logging in successfully, click the “My Apps” tab.
3. Click SUBMIT NEW APP.
4. Fill in the 2-page “Submit New App” form.
If you need more time, you can save your form as a draft and return later to complete it.
5. Click Submit.
Result:
For those using simple or parallel payments, PayPal reviews your application within 24 hours
and responds by sending you your PayPalApplicationID. Reviewers at PayPal follow up
by email with questions, should they arise, before they approve your mobile application. For
those using chained payments or preapprovals, the review may take longer.
After completing this task:
Wait until PayPal sends you your application ID. Then, make sure that you update your
software with the following changes before you submit your mobile application to Apple:
 Application ID: in your calls to initWithApplicationId
 Environment: in your calls to initWithApplicationId
 Recipient: in the PayPalPayment object
