PayPal has changed some of their regulations recently.
This means that some PayPal accounts which were able to accept payments before, are now being rejected. The following situations may prevent you from accepting payments through Modayst. Please look into your account and make sure that the following is set up:
Your PayPal Email Needs to be Confirmed
Here are instructions on how to confirm your Paypal email:
- Log into your PayPal account
- Click "Profile" near the top of the page
- Click "Update" beside your email
- Select the email address which you want to confirm
- Click "Confirm"
- PayPal will then send you an email with a link to complete the confirmation process
Your ID needs to be verified by PayPal
PayPal has introduced a Customer Identification Program. You can learn more here. You must now confirm your identiy with an image of an ID such as your Social Security Number or Driver’s Liscense.
Log into your PayPal account
Add the requested identification numbers (this varies per country)
Check your Resolution Center in Paypal to ensure that everything is resolved
You need to accept USD Currency (this needs to be added for all accounts to accept payments from international stores)
Here are instructions on how to accept the USD Currency:
Log into your PayPal account
Go to your Summary page
Click "Currencies"
Click to "Add Currency" to add USD
Your Paypal Account is Restricted
This one is not so obvious to see. We advise checking to ensure that your account is not restricted. This will block all payments.
Here are instructions on how to fix your PayPal account so it is no longer restricted:
Log into your PayPal account
Go to your Resolution Center
Go to Account Limitations
Click "Resolve" beside each step
