Hi all

 

I am helping to set up and run an event.

 

Only on our website, we want to be able to take donations for the event, via PayPal. Do I need to set up a business or personal account to do this?

 

Many thanks,

 

H

Hey HSychta.

 

Welcome to the Community!

 

We would only advise you to create a business PayPal account if the company is registered as a sole trader, private or limited company. Otherwise, a personal PayPal account should be created in order to process payments through the PayPal website.

 

I hope this helps. 

David.
