Help Center - Personal Account

Where can I find details about the account types PayPal offers?

We offer 2 types of account:

  • Personal account: ideal for buying online and for occasional selling. You can also send money to friends as a group gift or for refunds.
  • Business account: do you receive business payments? PayPal allows you to accept transactions by card and PayPal account. If you already work with a payment platform, you can simply add the PayPal option to the payment methods you offer
