Hey Louise, kudos for you for undertaking this. As a regulated, on-line financial institution we are required to have correct documentation forwarded to us should you wish to receive charity payments (you will get these at a reduced rate). Review the information below, and best of luck to you and your Dad.
First, to begin accepting PayPal as a payment option on your website, register at https://www.paypal.com/signbiz for a PayPal Business account. When registering, create the account under the charity or organisation's name, and register a specific contact person for the account. The 'contact person' will manage the PayPal account and contact PayPal's customer support for assistance, if necessary.
When entering your business information, select the 'Subcategory' link and the 'Most-used Category' link for your organisation. If you already have a Business account, edit this information in your profile by clicking the 'Personal/Business Information' link.
Next, fax supporting documents to PayPal.
For a non-U.S. based organisation, provide:
• Evidence of tax-exempt status and/or registration with any applicable regulatory bodies governing your jurisdiction
• Link to confirm the organisation's registration status online (if applicable)
• A brief organisational summary or Mission Statement
• Subordination letter from the parent organisation (if applicable)
All documents should be faxed to 08707 303 194, ATTN: Compliance - Due Diligence.
We will review the documents and contact you if further information is needed.
