Why isn't my Paypal linking with my debit card?

Hi! I just wanna ask why my paypal is not linking with my debit card? I am a newbie here and trying to make my trial store.

Hi there @Iya26Margarette !

I’d like to check a few things out with you here, to see what might be happening with your PayPal account setup.

When you set up a store using Shopify initially, a PayPal account is created using the same email address you used to set up Shopify.

If you already had a PayPal address under that email address you should be able to take payments right away.

Check out our guide to setting up PayPal here on our help site as it outlines how you can finish setting it up and some of the common issues that come up while doing so.

It’s a good idea to ensure that the country you have selected in your Shopify settings matches that in your PayPal account, as this can cause issues if mismatched.

You may need to contact PayPal support for clarification on what types of card or account they can accept for your account type, but feel free to let me know as much as you can about the situation here first.

Would you be setting up to start selling online for the first time?

Can you tell me about what you want to sell and who you’re looking to sell to?
