first off. i dunno if this is the correct channel. so, i created a paypal account. the personal account didnt seem to have any option for accepting payments. so i opted for the business account. but now its asking me for credentials, which i obviously don't have. so, um. did i mess up somewhere? do send some advice. thanks in advance. #edit: might as well ask how fellow translators with ko-fi and paypal set up theirs. it might help me with my predicament
i first registered under personal use. then changed it to business use afterwards now its gonna restrict my acc unless i provide them either of these 1. Upload evidence of membership in a recognized business or industry association 2. Provide your business information 3. Provide charity info which i said before, i dont have

@Milanin It is obvious you copy and paste that info not that it is a bad thing. But its a good practice to always include sources as to avoid misunderstanding and sometimes these kind of things changes.
I guess so, but it's pretty much on the page of Paypal itself Edit: https://www.paypal.com/gf/smarthelp/article/how-do-i-get-paid-using-paypal-faq1750 Personal Help> Payments > Get paid for sales https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/home > Help & Contact Payments (https://www.paypal.com/gf/smarthelp/topic/PAYMENTS) > Get paid for sales > How do I receive money through PayPal?
