PayPal Business

Paypal Business is highly recommended for merchants who operate under a company or a group name. It offers additional features such as allowing up to 200 employees limited access to your account and customer service email alias for customer issues to be routed for faster follow-ups. Additionally, when customers check out and choose PayPal as their payment method of choice, instead of seeing your individual PayPal email address, it will be displayed as your company name registered with PayPal Business instead, providing credibility to your store.

Paypal Business saves you a lot of time and trouble in case of a refund. Without Paypal Business, you will have to log on to their Paypal account to refund the money to the customer and manually update the status on the Dashboard to keep track of the payments. On the other hand, with Paypal Business, the refund will be processed automatically when you change the status of the order to Refunded on the dashboard under Orders.
