5. Click the Download button, and save the file in a secure location on your local computer.
Removing Your Public Certificate
IMPORTANT: If you remove your public certificate, its associated certificate ID is no longer
valid for encrypting buttons, and any buttons that you generated or wrote
manually for your website that use the ID will not function correctly.
To remove one or more of your public certificates:
1. Log in to your Business or Premier account.
2. Click the Profile subtab.
3. In the Seller Preferences column, click the Encrypted Payment Settings link.
4. Scroll down the page to the Your Public Certificates section.
5. Select the radio button next to the certificate you want to remove, and click the Remove
button.
The Remove Certificate page appears.
6. Click the Remove button to confirm the removal of the public certificate that you selected.
Using Encrypted Website Payments to Protect Your Payment Buttons
Encrypted Website Payments includes Java and Microsoft Windows software to protect the
payment buttons that you generate or write manually. Download the software from the
following location after logging in to PayPal:
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/xcl/rec/ewp-code
After you download and extract the software, copy your private key, public certificate, p12 file
and the PayPal public certificate to the folder where the software is located.
1. Prepare an input file of Website Payments Standard variables and values for each encrypted
button that you want to generate. Each variable and value must be on a separate line, as in
the following example.
