Can I deposit a check made out to my Business to my PayPal Business Account?

[abbyydu]

I had a client send me a check from their business to my business. I have a PayPal business account. Is there any way that I can deposit this check to my PayPal Business Account? If not, I am going to have to close my PayPal business account. Not because I want to, but because my older clients want to still do business that way, and this is becoming quite the headache to figure out. 

Everyone I've asked at customer service has sent detailed instructions on how to do it from a personal PayPal account. I'm not sure what they don't understand about the fact that I am using a PayPal Business account.

I just want to either a No, I cannot. Or a yes, I can with a detailed explanation of how to deposit a check from another business made out to my PayPal BUSINESS account.

Not possible with a business account hence why they kept saying personal account. A PayPal Cash account is needed to use the Cash A Check service on the mobile app. PayPal Cash is not available with business accounts.

You can create a receipt and record a payment then deposit the check into your business bank account directly.

Create a receipt for your customer

When your customer pays you through the link on the PayPal invoice, they will automatically be emailed a payment receipt. Occasionally you may receive a payment from your customer other than through PayPal. To give your customer a detailed receipt, first create the invoice and save it as a draft if the invoice is not created already. Choose Record payment from the Action column on the Manage Invoices page. You can print and deliver the paid invoice or choose Share link from the Manage Invoices page to copy an invoice link which you can then send to your customer as a receipt. Be sure to check your local requirements for invoices and receipts.
