Problem with Woo commerce and paypal
 

I like to test things and learn as much as I can before fully committing to a new undertaking.

So right now I'm just trying to set up a non-adult store using WordPress. A Woo Commerce
plugin allows me to use PayPal as a processor but ONLY if I register a PayPal business
account.

So I need either a payment processor that won't require me to get business account.. OR..
a plugin that works with a PayPal personal account, because I am not going to register this
as a business until I know it is a viable endeavor.

What's wrong with bussiness account ?

Try stripe but I think they will require a biz account

Just upgrade your personal account to a business one, its simple and doesn't require anything but you get to be able to use a plugin like WOO. You keep the same Paypal email...

There is no other options if you want to set-up an e-commerce site, sorry

No other option for WordPress/PayPal you mean?

Paypal requires a business registration ID and the business license.

I don't want to go to the trouble of registering another business just to do some testing
and tinkering with a site that might or might not become profitable.

I also don't want to use an existing registered business because it could complicate
things down the road.


I don't have to use paypal. If there's something else available then I'm willing to
use it

If you want to create a biz website and want to charge people you will need a business billing solution not sure what you don’t seem to understand.

It's called investigating what possible options that I might or might not have.

I'm not sure what you don't seem to understand about that.

It was a while ago but I clicked a button and my personal account (it had to be a verified account) was a biz account - Simple...

I don't use it as my main account these days but I still have access and they have never asked for any extra info.....

Perhaps I'm having problems with the legal jargon but I've read PayPal's info and they make it sound
it's going to be more trouble than this business experiment is worth.

But if you're saying it's as simple as a click then I'll give it a shot
