Is there any way to be able to provide sub accounts to clients?   For example,  I have a client who is a club. It is not owned by anyone, nor does it have a business tax identification number (in australia we call this an ABN). Becausae the club does not have an ABN and is not owned by anyone, it is flaming hard to setup a paypal account for the club in order to take payments via  paypal for membership renewals. paypal keep asking for a ridiculous amount of documentation that is not only completely irrelevant to a club of this kind, it is also not possible to provide it. so we end up having to lie and fudge everything in order to satisfy paypal.   What i would like to do, is instead use my own business paypal account, and then provide a sub account whereby clients (such as this club) can transfer money. But i dont want sub accounts to be able to see the balance of the main account, or other sub accounts.   Another alternative, can i setup multiple paypal business accounts under my own name and ABN$ (without having to resubmit documentation they already have over and over again) ...

Hi guys, As my title asks...   How to Setup a Business with Multiple Paypal Sub accounts where clients have their own login to their own sub-account?   I have a number of clients, who quite frankly, cannot seem to manage anything or keep it up to date. This is increasingly becoming the norm for clients i take on. They dont keep their wordpress websites updated, they lose track of email storage restrictions and leave emails to fill storage to overflowing, they dont manage Payments properly...its a problem.   What i would like to do is to setup a management inteface from my business paypal account where i setup the client paypal as a sub account of my own and they get a login for it that allows them to perform basic administration tasks (such as refunds, transfers, etc).   Obviously i would also be making a small amount of money from these clients (perhaps on a subscription basis I am thinking).   IS there any means within Paypal to do this...or something similar to it? (i dont want individual clients accounts...having all those usernames and passwords and having to manually log into and out of each one is a terrible waste of time and effort. I want to control it centrally. ... View more

in paypal, my merchant invoicing template allows me to setup a logo under tools/invoicing , then goto settings/business information What i did not realise, this has absolutely nothing to do with what paypal displays in website checkout process...ie https://https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr? (not a working link btw).... it is only for emailed invoices! What i instead get is a poorly formatted "all lower case" business name and no ABN number , contact details, or business address on the browser page...it bloody awful! I contacted paypal to query this (which in itself was a flaming nightmare) only to find that paypal have intentionally setup the url version of the invoice in paypal checkout so that if you want your logo to display, you have to register for a $25/mth upgrade to your current paypal merchant plan. why on earth should i have to pay $25 per month to get the url version of my email template? (I am not wanting to customise the template layout...just add the logo that is already in my paypal account as stated above) Has anyone else struck this issue? Anyone got a workaround that might at least make it half decent (capital letters and abn number) see image here...https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YasTaiCh57CmOQdA-3RWx4SnApZ1Vv3D/view?usp=sharing ...
