    What goes in these fields?  I had always used an email address in the past instead of an account ID.  What is mean by "secret"?

    This is for PayPal checkout.  If you have a PayPal Pro or Business account, you can use PayPal checkout, here is how to get the Client ID and Client Secret:

    If you would like to use the regular PayPal integration that works for regular PayPal and only requires using your PayPal account email address, use the regular PayPal field:

    Thanks for the complete answer. I appreciate it. I have a PayPal Biz account and want to use subscriptions.
