All things Shopify and commerce
hi i im trying to set up the account on shopify, but when prompted to use paypal i got the " we already have used your email to setup a paypal account"
i already have a personal account but i do not get the set up option to use my previous personal paypal account.
Even so i proceded to register a new account on paypal business .
While doing so i had to leave the register procedure because my pc hung, the register process was lost.
While resuming the register a second time , Paypal had misteriously changed my account name using my middle name as a my last name, i really dont know where they got that info since i never provide it. Even my credit card doesnt have it. Now im locked out of the register process on paypal.
Cant add the new business account to use it in shopify, cant add the new account thats also blocked to my existing personal account, and i dont get the "use your existing account" in shopify ,the paypal express option is no good.
im stuck,, the paypal process also now forces me to input a issn issn form . I dont live in the US , Registration form on paypal will not give me the option it did on the first try.
I am in venezuela so i dont know if theres a limitation by shopify for me to use a personal paypal account, so shopify forces me to open a new paypal business, maybe im doing something wrong. but i really dont know what.
im thinking of deleting the shopify account and starting a new using my existing paypal email,, which i seldom used but neither shopify or paypal are making it friendly.
My personal account is alreday set since ages ago and correctly verified.
another option is to delete the paypal business that went all wrong and start everything from scratch, but im not sure if that will work.
IM on trial period on shopify
