I just tried linking my Paypal account with Digital Point and received an error message saying: "We're sorry, but only Business or Premier accounts can grant this permission. To grant it, you must first upgrade your account." Do you have a solution for us "Personal" account holders? Thanks
The limitation is not imposed by us, it's imposed by PayPal. Personal accounts are not able to use the PayPal APIs... the error is coming directly from PayPal (not us). And when you think about it, it actually makes sense... if you are conducting business and receiving payments for products/services, it should be a business/premier account (not a personal account). Personal accounts are mainly for buying things, not selling things. https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/helpcenter/article/?articleID=94050&m=SRE PayPal fees are the same regardless of the account type, so to be honest, I'm not sure what the advantage is for having a personal PayPal account only (basically you just can't accept credit card payments).
so there's no another option except upgrading your paypal account to premiere or business,.. correct...?
Correct... PayPal does not allow API usage for personal accounts (which makes sense really because personal accounts are not for conducting business, and someone just paying for things would never need to set up transactions via the API).
Solution is only that you need to upgrade your account & this question is already covered in FAQ https://forums.digitalpoint.com/thr...ers-answer-of-your-why-where-and-how.2637220/
