I'm pretty confused with new PayPal. I have sandbox accounts, but now I needed to create production (business) account for actual real payment. But all look and feel are different now and all the links are different. Seems Paypal changed their web. I've already done integration for previous client; but now I'm disappointed because I can't figure out where to set various parameters. When I log in, nowhere I can found "My Selling Tools".

Where can I found what was available until now:

Paypal -> Profile -> My Selling Tools -> Website preferences

Paypal -> Profile -> My Selling Tools -> Instant payment notifications

?

I need to enter Website preferences in order to set needed params, and also I need to set some parameters in Instant payment notifications. Please help me. I need this kind of settings to enter:

If your PayPal layout page had been changed into new style, please do the following steps.

Website Payment Preferences:

Login PayPal -> Header Icon(Business Profile) -> Profile and settings -> My selling tools -> Website preferences -> Update

Or

after log in PayPal.com , directly link below URL.

Instant Payment Notification (IPN):

Login PayPal -> Header Icon(Business Profile) -> Profile and settings -> My selling tools -> Instant payment notifications -> Update

Or

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/customerprofileweb?cmd=_profile-ipn-notify
