getting payments on the Web, and is easy to integrate. There are different methods

Time for Action: Setting Up the PayPal Account for
Mobile Payments
1. For Mobile Checkout to work, you must have a Business Account with PayPal.
So if you have a Personal or Premier account, upgrade to Business account.
Note that if your account is not verified, it may take a few days. If you don't
have a PayPal account, you can easily register one at www.paypal.com.
2. Next, log in to your PayPal account. Go to Profile, and API Settings. Register
a new API username, password, and key. This sets the credentials, using
which our application will access PayPal.
