Not much point having a business account as the option to receive Paypal payments is sadly not available in Sri Lanka.
You can only send payments for purchases funded by your (confirmed) credit card.

Paypal varies a lot country to country and can only offer the services that the banks / governments of that country allow it to offer.
There are quite a few countries unable to receive Paypal payments.

Good day @Alex_Sdr 

 

Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.

 

It appears that you are looking for the "Send/Receive" money feature. However, based on the provided link https://www.paypal.com/lk/webapps/mpp/home, it seems that you can only send money and there is no option to receive money.

 

For more detailed information, please refer to the link provided below:

Please note that although the "Send/Receive" money feature may not be available, you can still process payments by integrating other PayPal products.

 

Important : PayPal Website Payments Standard (WPS) is a legacy integration. 

 

Yes, we recommend merchants to integrate our latest PayPal Checkout (Smart button) product.

 

I would suggest to please use the  https://developer.paypal.com/integration-builder/ to generate button code and use on your website.

Merchant should first perform Create Order API( https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#orders_create) call and then redirect the customer/buyer to "approve" URL.

 

Once the order is approved by the customer/buyer, merchant should perform Capture Order ( https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#orders_capture) API call and customer/buyer should pass the valid funding source.

Note : PayPal provides multiple products and merchants can integrate them based on the requirement. 

 

Please follow below steps via PayPal Business account to explore other integrations.

 

Login PayPal.com >> click on "settings icon" >> go to "Account settings" >> Website payments >> PayPal buttons >> select button type >> fill the required details.

 

(Or)

 

Login PayPal.com >> go to direct link "https://www.paypal.com/buttons/" >> follow the above steps.

 

If your still facing issues, please create an MTS ticket via - https://www.paypal-support.com/s/?language=en_US  with the detailed information and error details.

 

Sincerely,

Kavya
