Log into your eShop4's Administration Panel, then do the below. 

7 & 8.  Navigate to Administration > Payment Methods.

9.  Click on the + symbol.

11.  In the Processor field, click on the downwards pointing arrow to see a list of all the available payment gateways (international, most don't apply to us!).

12.  Scroll down until you find the PayPal items.

13.  Choose PayPal Pro.

NOTE: You should Not do anything with 'Certificate filename' as we're using the Signature method, not the Certificate method.
