This section shows how to set up ODBC connectivity and configure DSNs on macOS.

Minimum macOS Version

The CData ODBC Driver for PayPal driver requires macOS Sierra (10.12) or above.

Licensing the Driver

In a terminal, run the following commands to license the driver. To activate a trial, omit the <key> input.

cd "/Applications/CData ODBC Driver for PayPal/bin"
sudo ./install-license.sh <key>

You'll be prompted for a name and password. These refer to your name and your machine's password.

The provider surfaces tables from two PayPal APIs. The APIs use different authentication methods.

To choose the API you want to work with, set the Schema property to REST or SOAP. By default, the SOAP schema will be used.

• The REST API uses the OAuth standard. To authenticate to the REST API, you will need to set the AuthScheme to OAuth, the OAuthClientId, and OAuthClientSecret properties. See Connecting to the REST API for more information.
• The SOAP API requires Signature API credentials. To authenticate to the SOAP API, you will need to set the AuthScheme to Basic, set the Username, Password, and Signature properties. You generate these API credentials when you enable the SOAP API. See Connecting to the SOAP API for more information.

For testing purposes, set UseSandbox to true and use Sandbox credentials.

Uninstalling the Driver

The easiest way to uninstall the driver is to open a terminal and run the included uninstall.sh script, located in the installation directory. For example:

cd "/Applications/CData ODBC Driver for PayPal"
sudo ./uninstall.sh

Note: The script needs to be run from the installation directory.
