paypal manager users vs. paypal users

I have Payments Pro Payflow Pro (I think) and using manager.paypal.com with "hosted checout pages" right now but I need to change it to process credit cards directly on my website withotu any embeding or redirections.

Account in manager.paypal.com

PayPal Payments Pro Live --

Hosted Checkout Pages Live --

Payflow SDK/API (Full Access) Live --

Paypal Express Checkout Live --

Should be possible via REST API right? https://developer.paypal.com/docs/integration/direct/accept-credit-cards/

I added new user in manager.paypal.com with role API_FULL_TRANSACTIONS but there is no user_id or secret values anywhere in manager.paypal.com - these 2 values are needed in order to get access_token according to https://developer.paypal.com/docs/integration/direct/make-your-first-call/

I see these values when logged in as regular paypal user or developer but not in manager.paypal.com

What am I missing? How manager.paypal.com users are connected to paypal users?

Thanks for help!

Sounds like you have a PayPal Pro 2.0 account, which gives you full access to both the PayPal Merchant APIs as well as the PayFlow APIs.

The PayPal Merchant APIs use a USER, PASS, and SIGNATURE in the API request. The PayFlow API would use the USER, PASS, VENDOR, and PARTNER values that you're seeing with your PayPal Manager account.

For more details, you might be interested in taking a look at this article I wrote about the history of PayPal Payments Pro.
