Checklist before applying for PayPal
Payment currency settings
- CNY (Chinese Yuan) is not supported by PayPal. Please set your store currency to USD (US Dollar).
- You can set the payment currency after registering your credit card in your PayPal account.
Application review process
- After submitting your application, PayPal may reject your account during the review process.
- If that happens, payouts may be put on hold. For details, please contact PayPal Customer Support.
Payment and payout method
- PayPal is an online payment service based on a virtual account system.
- Sales proceeds are added to your PayPal balance and transferred to your linked bank account when you request a payout.
Customer claims and refund handling
- Customers can file claims or request refunds directly on the PayPal website.
- When this happens, PayPal will temporarily hold the payment and ask the seller to submit supporting documentation.
- If the evidence is insufficient or not submitted in time, the payment will be automatically refunded. Please monitor and manage your PayPal account regularly—ideally every 1–2 weeks..
