Not able to integrate PayPal with Shopify

Is your business PayPal new? Because if it is it’s so hard to integrate it to ur store trust me I tried for over a month I was almost really to give up.

But what I did was I had another PayPal business account that I would sell used goods on eBay for about 3 to 4 years so that account was clean and old so PayPal knows that account Is legit and ships out and that,All I did was change the settings and details from that account to my now own business on Shopify, now I get payments right away and it got integrated easily I didn’t have to pay someone money to do it for me.

If you have an older PayPal business account try doing that changing that account into ur shopify business Account and not ebay or amazon seller account.

let me know if you understood if you don’t then message me, I would be glad to help :slightly_smiling_face:

Just try it once more but after your login don’t click on setup button instead click on go back to shopify and you’ll see after coming back to shopify site they will ask you to login on shopify again and this time may be, boom! Your account will be connected.

Hi,

I am facing this issue right now. I received my first order through paypal and was prompted to activate express checkout. I did everything I was meant to do and even upgraded my paypal to a business account. The payment was still ‘pending’ and I was still being prompted to set up my account.

I followed the above process to deactivate express check out and reactivate it. Now its stuck in a loop where I reactivate it and it it states ‘We’re reviewing your information. We may require some additional information. Check your email or your dashboard for a bell notification to complete your application’

I never recieve an email nor is there any ‘bell’ icon on my dashboard. Which dashboard by the way, paypal or shopify?

I have checked that it is the correct email as when set up my shopify and now I am just stuck in this loop that goes no where. Never has it prompted me to give ‘permissions’ to link the two together, so I think thats the issue.

PLEASE HELP!

What I did was I had an old Paypal account that was linked to my eBay because I had been selling on eBay for 4 years I ended up changing it to my now business account for my hair business and now I receive payments perfectly, the thing is your account is most likely new and they don’t like that so they put it as pending for the first 6 months I would say. If u got an another business account that u have been active on for selling for years then change that account to your now business account to get payments quicker and easier. That’s what helped me a lot because I too was in the same position as u this time last year I felt like giving up literally I would cry when I couldn’t find the problem but I just ended up change my old PayPal that was linked to my eBay to my now business and then made a new Paypal for my eBay account to still continue collecting payments from there because I do dropshipping on there. But yeah sorry I ran off topic, but do that and see if that helps if not then collect payments manually I also do that too because Paypal transaction fees r high but if u insist on using PayPal, use it on Braintree the transaction fees are a lot less. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello!

I have exactly the same problem.

I have two Paypal business account, non of one wants to integrate to Shopify. Or Shopify doesn’t want to integrate to PayPal.

I click on the activate button it redirects me to PayPal log in where it asks me to complete my setup on PayPal. But my PayPal is completely set up. PayPal customer service is not able to solve this issue.
