If you're encountering issues with PayPal payments on your Shopify dropshipping store, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem: 1. **Verify PayPal account:** Ensure that your PayPal business account is verified and in good standing. Sometimes, restrictions or limitations on your PayPal account can prevent transactions. 2. **Check PayPal settings:** Review your PayPal account settings to make sure there are no specific restrictions or requirements that might be causing the issue. Ensure that your account is set up to accept payments. 3. **Contact PayPal support:** Reach out to PayPal's customer support for assistance. They can provide insights into why transactions might be failing and help resolve any account-specific issues. 4. **Shopify settings:** Double-check your Shopify settings to ensure that your PayPal account is properly connected and configured. Sometimes, re-entering the credentials or reconnecting the account can resolve integration issues. 5. **Test with a different payment method:** If possible, try enabling alternative payment methods on your Shopify store to see if the issue persists with PayPal specifically. This can help determine if the problem lies with PayPal or elsewhere in the checkout process. 6. **Review transaction details:** If the issue persists, review the transaction details for any discrepancies or errors that might be causing the payment failure. Ensure that the customer's information is entered correctly and matches the details on their PayPal account. 7. **Update Shopify and PayPal integration:** Ensure that both your Shopify platform and PayPal integration are up to date. Updates and patches released by either platform could address known issues related to payment processing. If none of these steps resolve the issue, consider reaching out to Shopify's support team for further assistance. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or escalate the issue to their technical team for investigation.

None of the advice above is relevant unfortunately because the option to receive Paypal payments is sadly not available in Benin.
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.


Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
