Do I need to be a Paypal Certified Dev to implement Paypal on my website?

Question

I'm actually working for a client. I've succesfully implemented paypal pro on the website and everything is working fine, I believe I followed their process and guidelines to make it work the way they meant.

Thus, I've been reading this webpage to turn the website in procuduction, and somewhere in the policies and guidelines , they say (and it is rule nb 1 !):

To make API calls to the PayPal production servers, you must be a registered PayPal Developer and have a PayPal Premier or Business Account in good standing.

So ... does that mean that I can't turn it in prod by myself ? I'm not a certified Paypal neither a registered paypal dev.

Please Advice :) Thanks

I 've found out that you simply need to register as a Paypal Developer. It takes a few minutes and its free. You need to sign up with your regular paypal account and then turn it into a developer one( just like Facebook did with their API).

Just click on sign up with paypal and follow the instructions: https://developer.paypal.com/

I made it that way a few months ago. Hope that help !
