want to be able to receive money so I'm going to pick business account and click on continue
basically you impute all the details that they ask of you so I've created my password now as
you can see all these sticks are stunned green which means that I've entered between 8 to 20
characters and upper and lowercase letter is in this password and a number or a symbol just go
ahead and continue and now it's going to ask me about my business so for some of you who do not
have like a registered business this should not deter you from actually going ahead you can use
your name name all through so you input your legal first name legal last name your legal
business name if you have one if you don't have one just input your name and then your business
phone number you can change this code you can change it to Nigeria and then you put your phone
number then you put your business address if you don't have a specific business address also you
can make it your home address and then you agree to receive their names this is actually optional
you may opt out of it but this one is important you need to tick it in order to continue so I have
read consent and agree to pay past user agreement and privacy um statements and before you sign it
make sure that you check what it is about so click on it and it's going to bring you to
their PayPal user agreement where you'll be able to see the things that you are signing another
thing that a lot of people are confused about is this postcode part you know that's oh I cannot put
my postcode and all that now I'm leaving it blank and I'm just going to go and agree and continue
I left it blank and it went through so you really do not need to put your postcode however if it
keeps saying that put your postcode to refresh it again and don't put anything don't put any
postcode I actually have a dedicated video where I talk specifically about this I showed you exactly
how to do this so I'll be leaving it in the description box below also now your business type
is um individual and you can choose any other one that matches what you do product or keyword
Services console if you've got a website you can put it but I don't have a website and
then PayPal CC statement name so when people send you money or when you receive money from
people so this CC statement name is what will be showing in their own statements that will
make them to know that yes it was the money they sent to you and I'll click on continue
you can definitely definitely change that and I'm going to change that to Nigeria
yeah to Nigeria and identity document so what identity documents do you actually want to provide
to them as you know as your identity so it can be your national ID card it can be your passport it
can be your driver's license and it should be the one for Nigeria because you've chosen Nigeria so
home address same as business address if you want to put another thing you can you know antique and
then you'll be able to fill it in but I'll just leave it as the same and then the same thing with
um business phone number you know I've been put my phone number earlier you can
just take it that it is the same and it will automatically just like pop
it in there for you and once you are done you just click on submit foreign
and receive payments basically this is your PayPal balance and these are the quick links
so if you want somebody to send you money now what you need to do is to go to PayPal
dot me just click on this PayPal dot me and then you can create a PayPal dot me
profile so I'm not adding photo now it's going to ask you to pick a name so PayPal
dot me slash you can put your name or you can put the name of your business anything
so now that you have it you need to agree that your name photo username email and all that can
be shown to others you know to make it easier for them to find you on PayPal now you have your
link here and that is what you send to people so actually send you money so let's say you have a
customer who wants to send you say 100 um dollars all you need to do is to send them that link and
I'm going to show you what that links look like for people so you click on agree and create
now your profile is live I'm going to show you what people see when you send them your link now
this is the link I just created so if you sent your link to somebody this is what they will see
they will see your picture if you've uploaded a picture they will see your name and they will see
your username at so so then they can click on send now when they click on send it's going to bring
um like a form to them they will be able to impute how much they want to send to you so say they want
to send you 100. dollars so that would be 100 comma zero zero USD they can add what it is for
if not they'll just continue another thing that you want to know is that once you open
your PayPal accounts PayPal is going to send you a series of um emails we are going to send you email
welcoming you to PayPal send your email to set up your PayPal business account to confirm your
email to use your account and also welcome you to PayPal dot me and if they need any additional
information from you of course they are going to send so I'm just going to open this confirm email
and then we are going to be confused now I have confirmed this email this is another email from
PayPal they will ask you to set up your PayPal business accounts so here they send me another
email saying that they need additional information about my business and they will tell you why they
are asking for the information just click on complete information now and and it's going
to bring you to this so basically they are not asking for any information right now as it is it
is a generic email that is sent to every new uh PayPal account that is opened so I'm just going
