Hello @Abigail15,

 

Based on the error you're receiving, it sounds like your information does not match 100% between MPESA and PayPal. For the transfer to complete, the name and rest of the info must match exactly.

 

Good luck,

The problem is you earlier on opened your account with business account but now you arelogging in with personal. Thats the reason you get the error. Mine now works, just close the account or log in by changing account types
