How to activate or change PayPal settings
-
Go to your store admin page, click Settings and then click on the Payments section.
By default, we define your PayPal account email with the default store email. If you already have another PayPal account, you only need to change this email.

If you do not have a PayPal account, you can keep the email you used to create your store. As soon as you receive your first order through the Checkout, PayPal will send you an email that contains a link and instructions to complete your account setup and claim your funds.
Depending on your configurations, you can also enable purchasing with a credit or debit card.
