title: How to enable to enable live credentials for REST API direct Credit Card Payments
body: <p>I seem to be unable to enable Live credentials to accept direct credit card payments for Paypal REST API. Here is what I do:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Log into <a href="http://developer.paypal.com" rel="nofollow">http://developer.paypal.com</a></li>
  <li>Go to application tab and click on my application name</li>
  <li><p>In the ACCEPT PAYMENTS section it shows:
  Accept credit cards directly Enabled for test only How to enable live credentials?
  I click on 'How to enable live credentials' link, which further opens up the following:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Important Live credentials are disabled for this feature. To enable
    direct credit card processing, please provide addition information
    about yourself and your business.</p>
  
  <pre><code>To meet regulatory requirements, we need to collect your business details. This may include:
  U.S Business owner Social Security Number, date of birth, and other personal details.
  U.S Business Tax ID (EIN, ITIN) and other business information.
  </code></pre>
    
    <p>Get started</p>
  </blockquote></li>
  <li><p>I click on the 'Get Started' Link and am only taken back to the My APP section of the Application tab. </p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>After step 4 I went to go about trying to find a direct link to how to get the process started and came up with the following:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Followed the the following instructions:
  <a href="https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/lifecycle/goingLive/" rel="nofollow">https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/lifecycle/goingLive/</a></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>While I do now have API Signature Credentials including, API username, API password, and Signature, it still only shows that for "Accept credit cards directly" I am only "Enabled for test only"</p>
  
  <p>I would greatly appreciate any advise or alternative solution to get this fixed.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
