Hi PayPal community, Good Morning/Evening! This is my first post here 😊. Context: I have 2 questions on setting up my Paypal account for my business. Currently, I have a personal account, and I am aware that I should be switching to a business account for the same (will be individual or sole for sure), which I eventually will. I would be selling original digital art that I create and post on my website to sell internationally, both as physical and digital copies. I would like to integrate two features of PayPal for this on my website: the buy button and email invoices. My 2 questions are: 1. I do not have a GST yet (I am Indian), and I know that for physical goods I need one, but for digital print sales, do I need a GST? The reason for this query is since my digital service is a non-OIDAR service provided to a non-business entity (to individuals), as per Indian government norms, wherein the supplier is providing non-OIDAR services to a non-business entity anywhere, no GST would be levied in this case. Check the table mentioned in this government website about commissions being non-OIDAR. Look for the table in page 2 - "Individually commissioned content sent in digital form e.g., photographs, reports, medical results". The confirmation of Non-OIDAR services being GST free can be found anywhere, for example in this link. Look for - "In such cases wherein the supplier is providing Non-OIDAR Services to a Non-Business entity, No GST would be levied in this case." Through this, I know I can only sell to individuals and not to business entities or companies. So can I just setup a Business Category: Individual type, select the appropriate product code in PayPal, and run my digital print selling work (only) on my website without GST? I am checking on this because I want to ensure I follow the correct rules and do not get blocked by PayPal over anything once setup like requesting a GST etc. 2. I have read most of your user documentation, and I see there is an option for upgrading to the Micropayments application (link). Do you have more information on this? What are the eligibility requirements? If I am selling my digital arts for $10 or less on my website (digital goods only), will I be eligible? Is GST needed for upgradation in this case? Will it work on my business or individual account? I could gather bits and pieces of information from other questions, social media, and videos, but I am posting this question so that in the future I do not have any issue with PayPal transactions. I have seen a lot of negativity from artists selling digital and physical goods through PayPal online, but I truly believe it might be because they failed to understand your rules correctly. Just a note that I will be operating this legally and using my own identity, so there won't be any scams on my part. I would be grateful for any guidance or assistance!
