# Forter PayPal Shopify Integration

## Introduction
This guide details the steps needed in order to allow Forter to receive information about a Paypal transaction made in your store in order to provide a real-time Fraud Decision. Forter asks for the minimal permissions needed with “read-only” access. No modifications to the payments are done by Forter. Without this permission, Forter's Shopify app will return a “Not Reviewed” decision for all Paypal transactions.

### Multiple PayPal accounts
Forter's Shopify app currently supports **one paypal account per Shopify store**. If you're a merchant using Shopify Markets or multiple payment accounts to accommodate different currencies in the same store, you will need to select only one PayPal account. Please reach out to Forter's support team if you have any questions.

### Step 1: Login to your Paypal Business Account
Log into your Paypal Account Dashboard and make sure you're using the Business account (not Developer).

Select your account on the upper right hand corner of the screen and then select the "Account Settings" option from the the dropdown menu.

### Step 2: Go to the option ‘Account access’
In the Account Settings menu, go to the "Account Access" tab and then select the "Service Providers" option.

This will take you to a "Third Party Users" screen. In the third-party users section, click on the "Add API User" button.

Paste the following text inside the blank "Third Party API Username" input bar: **erez_api1.forter.com**.

### Step 4: Choosing the kind of permissions
At this point, if you see an error message, please contact your account/integration manager. If not, a modal should display a list of items with checkboxes, like the following:

Check the following two options:

1. Obtain information about a single transaction.
2. Search your transactions for items that match specific criteria and display the results.

Click on the "Save" button at the bottom of the modal.

### Step 5: Add your PayPal Merchant ID in the Forter Portal
1. Navigate back to your PayPal Business Dashboard Account Settings. Select the **Business Information** option under _Business Profile_. This page displays a Business Information field and a PayPal Merchant ID field. Copy the value in the PayPal Merchant ID field.

2. Now log back into your Forter portal and go to the [Shopify settings page](https://portal.forter.com/app/dashboard/settings/shopify "Shopify settings page") and add your PayPal merchant Id to the PayPal ID field of the settings and click the Save button.
