Paypal express payment - shopify

[JPINO1]

Been trying to set Paypal express payment for my checkout gateway, and so far shows active- Linked to the account with the same email as our shopify account- But customers can't use the paypal checkout as it display this message: 'PayPal wasn’t available. Use a different payment method or try again later." How can I resolve this problem. I am located in Botswana and my shopify store is in BWP, our local currency.
