My legal business/registered company name is ABC Ltd. I run mutiple websites and stores, each selling different digital products/e-commerce, but I use this same Paypal business account to collect payments. Is there a way to change the 'doing business as' name on Paypal so that when my customers receive a receipt, they will not be confused as the legal business name is different from the website they bought the product from?

Hello @P197,
Welcome to PayPal Community Forum and thank you for posting!
I understand that you want to change your name in PayPal. You can change the name only if it's misspelled (upto 2 characters). If you are making a changes in legal name or major name change, you may need to upload supporting documents. To request for a name change and the steps to change, I will recommend you to refer the Help Centre article.
I hope this information is helpful for you!
Regards,
Shradha

No I don't want to change my business name. My business name is needed for official Paypal communications and operations.
I want to add a 'doing business as' name. That's different from official business name.
