Store: Setting Up PayPal as a Payment Option

If you want to accept secure payments via PayPal (including credit cards), you'll need to enter some PayPal account information. You'll need a non-personal PayPal account.

 

What this is called exactly depends on your country. For US-based users these are the Premier or Business level accounts.
