Make sure you're using the email for the account you want to connect to your store. If you've used another PayPal account recently, then the email for that account might already be filled in. If you want to issue refunds or manually capture payments using PayPal, then you need to give Shopify permissions from your PayPal business account. You should finish setting up your PayPal account or deactivate PayPal from the Payments setting in your Shopify admin to avoid exposing your email publicly. Because PayPal requires your email to create the PayPal Express Checkout account, Shopify will share your email with PayPal. As soon as you open a Shopify store, you’re given a Paypal Express Checkout account. PayPal is one of Shopify’s default payment providers.


If you don't have a PayPal business account with the email address you use to sign into your store, then you can add your email address to an existing PayPal account or sign up for a new PayPal business account with the same email address you use to sign into your store. Most functions and tools provided by PayPal for business owners are only available when using a business account.

To use PayPal on your store, you should upgrade your personal account to a business account. If you want to issue refunds or manually capture payments, then you need to finish setting up your PayPal account. If you already have a PayPal account with that email address, then you receive payments from orders made with PayPal right away. When you set up your Shopify store, Shopify creates a PayPal Express Checkout account using the email address you use to sign into your store.
