Hello @dandelions1!

There is a limitation where you cannot pay on your own Shopify store using the PayPal account which you set up in Settings > Payments (the seller account). In order to be able to order from your store, you will need to either do this from a different PayPal account, or using a different payment method if you have one i.e. via credit card.

Tell me a little bit more about the products that you're selling! Are you by chance dropshipping since you want to order from your store? Or is it that you just wanted to test purchase? In case this is for testing purposes, I have a guide for you here on how this can be done, and it does not require you spending money on it for real but rather it simulates the transaction.
