PayPal OAuth2 Keys

Description#

General#

  • Documentation: https://developer.paypal.com/home/
  • Summary: Paypal is a worldwide payment system that supports online money transfers. It operates as a payment processor for many online vendors or auction platforms among others. Applications can integrate with PayPal via OAuth2. The credentials are then used to get an access token for further REST API calls with authentication.
  • IPs allowlist: Here is an interesting discussion about IP allowlisting with PayPal services.
  • Scopes: Credentials scopes vary depending on the type of account associated to the credentials.

Revoke the secret#

Application credentials can be revoked and rotated from the user dashboard, on the My Apps & Credentials page, using the Generate new secret button.

Check for suspicious activity#

PayPal supports webhooks that can give hints on suspicious use of credentials: see here on the dashboard.
