PayPal settings for 1.5.1.3

Greetings
Having gone through PayPal settings now for a second site, I thought I'd offer an update to the PayPal settings helpfully shown on page http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... h=32_35_60. These details are now incorrect since PayPal has altered their settings page.

The following detail is correct, as I've just run through it to check - perhaps someone with suitable access can update that page of documentation (please). I'm offering it here to help others and save time when setting this up, but also as a reminder to myself for next time!

Cheers
Martin

It seems that the documentation is gone or moved I can't find it any more do you have a new link?

Thanks!

Thanks a lot for the post, i completed all settings in PayPal but cant find the place in PayPal Standard(in OC Admin/Extensions/Payments) to put PDT Token.

Can you please explain where to put this PDT Token in Admin.

Everything is going smooth, i tested it with a dummy product and "Cancelled Reversal" is working fine.

Thanks for your time and support.
