Hi @swayze

To change the default country in your PayPal Express Checkout settings to the Philippines (PH), follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your PayPal account: Go to PayPal.com and sign in with your credentials.

  2. Go to Account Settings:

    • Once logged in, click on the gear icon ( :gear: ) located at the top right corner to access your account settings.

  3. Navigate to Payment Preferences:

    • In the settings menu, select “Payments” or “Payment Preferences” depending on your account type.

  4. Update Your Address:

    • Look for the option to manage your addresses or payment preferences. Here you can add or update your billing address, which should include your country.
    • Add a new address with the Philippines as the country or update your existing address.

  5. Set Default Address:

    • Once you’ve added the new address, make sure to set it as your default billing address.

  6. Update Card Information (if necessary):

    • If you’re using a credit or debit card, you might need to update your card information to reflect the new billing address.

  7. Test the Checkout Process:

    • After making these changes, test the PayPal Express Checkout on a website to ensure that your default country is now set to the Philippines.

If the country is tied to the PayPal account itself and not just the address (which might be the case for some PayPal accounts), you may need to contact PayPal customer support to change your account country, as some country changes may require creating a new account.

You can contact PayPal support through their help center if you encounter any difficulties or if the option to change the country is not available directly in your settings.
