Hi guys

 

I am unable to link my business account to Shopify. When I complete the activation and I click back to Shopify, I still find "Activate Paypal express checkout" like in the beginning!

 

Can anyone help me, please?

 

Thank you

Hi, @Haitam

My name is Rae, and I work for Shopify.

I appreciate you posting this question. It sounds like you're getting stuck in a loop, and I'd really like to lend a hand with this. 

When trying to activate PayPal, are you using the same email address on PayPal that you use on your store owner's account on Shopify's end? If not, please try using this email address, as this should help resolve things. 

If you're still not able to connect your PayPal account though, I recommend following these steps: 

  1. Open up a new browser session using Chrome Incognito mode
  2. In that window, log in to your PayPal business account on PayPal.com
  3. Open up a new tab within your Incognito window and log in to your Shopify admin 
  4. From within your admin, try to connect PayPal again by following these steps 

If this doesn't resolve things on your end, please just reply back to me here with more details on which step didn't work, and where the loop occurred. 

Keep me posted on this!

Hi, @Nourel

Thank you for joining this thread and letting me know. 

To clarify, did you use the same email address to log in to PayPal that you use on your store owner's account on Shopify?

Can you also please confirm where the loop is occurring, or which specific step that I shared in my previous reply isn't working on your end?

Once I have these details, I can help pinpoint where the issue may be coming from, and continue working towards a resolution. 

Thanks!

Hi,

I used the same email that my store account and in paypal this email is  the primary email for paypal account.

The issue is that when I complete the activation and I click back to Shopify, I still find "Activate Paypal express checkout" like in the beginning!
