i’m new in Shopify platform, and I need your help about Shopify payments transaction.
i need to forward immediatly the received money from Shopify payments module to m’y paypal account.
currently, I receive a payment on m’y bank account after few days after transactions !
I understand you would like to be able to connect your PayPal account to Shopify Payments. However, I’d like to inform you that it currently is not possible to directly forward funds from your Shopify Payments account to your PayPal account. You can only connect your bank account. Since this is the case, I’ll submit this feedback to the relevant team so they can consider the ability to connect PayPal to your account in the future. If we end up implementing this, we’ll publish it on our changelog.
I hope everything is going well with your store! As you mentioned you’re new, I thought I’d share a few articles that will help you navigate online selling on Shopify. Please feel free to refer to them and I hope they provide some assistance!
