Hello, So I want to start accepting payments from people in my woocommerce store. Can I just use my personal PayPal account? Or is there any method to create a business account without establishing a company? I tried make individual business account but PayPal asked for my legal business name. Can I use my store name without legal documents? Thanks in advance

As you have not added your country to your profile (so we can see when we hover over your username) or said in your post which country you are in then sadly can't advise.
Paypal varies a great deal country to country so you need to tell us where you are on this worldwide community forum.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.

Hi! Thanks for the response and I’m sorry I didn’t mention the country. It is Jordan
