You can create a PayPal Business account by going to the PayPal website, selecting "Business Account" during the sign-up process, and providing the required personal and business information. While PayPal isn't directly available in Zimbabwe for withdrawals, you can use the account to send and receive payments internationally by linking it to a bank account outside of Zimbabwe, which may require additional documentation for verification.
Step-by-step guide
Go to the PayPal website:
Navigate to the official PayPal website and click on "Sign Up".
Select "Business Account":
Choose the option for a business account to get features like accepting customer payments.
Enter your details:
Provide your email address, create a strong password, and enter your personal and business information, including your legal name, business name, and contact details.
Complete the setup:
Follow the prompts to confirm your email by entering a verification code, and then provide details about your business, such as the type of service or goods offered and your business address (which can be your residential address).
Verify your identity:
You will need to verify your identity, which may include providing a valid government-issued ID and potentially a tax identification number.
Link a bank account:
To accept payments and withdraw funds, link a bank account. Since direct withdrawals to Zimbabwean banks may not be supported, you will need a bank account in a country where PayPal withdrawals are supported.
Enable two-factor authentication:
To protect your account, enable two-factor authentication in the security settings.
