Hi, I want to allow my customers to pay on my website. I am getting this error when a credit card goes through.
This transaction cannot be processed. The merchant's account is not able to process transactions.
How can this be corrected? I followed the instructions on Paypals website.
Thank You

Hi @OtakuTravel,
Welcome to the PayPal Community!
I am sorry to hear you are having issues receiving a payment. Are there currently any account limitations or a request for information on your account?
These will be outlined on your PayPal Resolution Center.
Also please ensure that your email address is confirmed in order to receive payments.
I hope this helps.
