You are using phpFox version earlier than 4.6.0? Please refer instruction for this article here.

In order to receive payments on your site (for subscriptions, ads, sponsor blocks, e-gifts, etc) it is necessary to set up a payment gateway for your site. By default, phpFox offers PayPal as a payment gateway.

This assumes you are already logged in as the Admin user and are logged into the Admin CP.










  1. Name of the Gateway as you want to display it.
  2. A description that your users will see.
  3. Active: Set to Yes to activate this or No to deactivate it.
  4. Test Mode: Set to Yes to test the gateway (by purchasing stuff on the front end to see how the payments are working). Set to No to have it as a live gateway.
  5. PayPal Email: Where you want payments for things like subscriptions, ads, etc to go.
  6. Client ID: This is public identifier for application
  7. Secret: This is a secret known only to the application and the authorization server.
