Do I need a business account for creating Invoices via API or can I stick to the personal account?

I'm trying to receive online payments on my website but I've found out that I need a business account for Paypal Standard Checkout, so now I'm wondering if I need it for Invoices API as well.

Hello @savicaleksa

Welcome to the PayPal Community Forum! 

I understand you'd like to learn if you can use an AP to create invoices on a personal account. I have found that if you integrate invoicing through a Rest API, you can use a personal account. If you refer to our PayPal Developer Documents by clicking my included hyperlinks, you can review how to create and send invoices as well as how to integrate them.  I also suggest visiting our Help Center to learn more about updating API Signatures and Certificates

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to our Merchant Technical Support team on our website or through the PayPal Community Forum here

I hope this helps you set up your invoicing!
