Set up subscription with PayPal personal account

[richards1052]

I write a personal blog and want to set up a way for readers to make monthly donations to support it. Since many of the donors would be friends and family I want to set this up so they can donate without a fee. But from what I'm reading you only set up subscriptions or recurring payments with a business account. I want to maintain a my account as personal. Is there any way to do this with a personal account?

This has nothing to do with my question. I am not a non Profit. Plus, i want to set up recurring donations or subscriptions, which is nor covered by your link.

In order for you to have a nonprofit set up with Paypal donation, the account must be upgraded into a business account. For further information kindly visit the link below: https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/article/how-can-i-get-my-nonprofit-set-up-with-paypal-to-accept-... Hope this helps.

Please read my original post again. It says nothing about being a non profit or wanting to register as a non profit. I am not a non profit. What I want is for readers (family and friends mostly) to be able to donate or subscribe on an annual or monthly basis to support my blog. Not non-profit. Just donations from them to me to support the blog.
