This Workaround Allows You to Get a Business PayPal in Zimbabwe

PayPal is widely used for sending and receiving money online. In Zimbabwe, receiving and withdrawing international payments directly via PayPal is restricted, but there’s a safe workaround to open a business account and actually get paid.


1. Why Zimbabwe Users Face Restrictions

  • PayPal in Zimbabwe allows sending payments fully.

  • Receiving international payments is often blocked.

  • Direct bank withdrawals from PayPal to Zimbabwean banks may not work.

⚠️ Using fake addresses or offshore PayPal accounts is illegal and risks permanent account bans.


2. Legal Workaround to Get a Business PayPal

The safest method is to combine a PayPal Business account with an international receiving account:

Step 1: Sign Up for a PayPal Business Account

  1. Go to PayPal Business Signup.

  2. Click Sign Up → Choose Business Account → Next.

  3. Enter your professional email.

  4. Fill in business details:

    • Business type (Sole Proprietor, Company, Nonprofit)

    • Business name

    • Physical business address in Zimbabwe

    • Phone number

  5. Provide personal details: Full legal name, ID, and proof of address.

  6. Create a secure password.

  7. Accept PayPal’s terms and conditions.

  8. Verify your email.


Step 2: Complete KYC Verification

  • Upload required documents:

    • Government ID (Passport or National ID)

    • Proof of address (utility bill or bank statement)

    • Business registration certificate (if applicable)

  • Verified accounts unlock full PayPal features.


Step 3: Link an International Receiving Account

Since Zimbabwean PayPal accounts cannot always withdraw money directly, you can use:

  1. Payoneer – Provides virtual USD, EUR, and GBP accounts.

    • Link these accounts to PayPal to receive payments.

  2. Wise – Offers multi-currency business accounts for safe international transfers.

This method allows you to:

  • Receive payments from clients worldwide

  • Legally withdraw funds to your local bank via Payoneer or Wise

  • Keep your PayPal account fully verified and compliant


3. Start Accepting Payments

  • Use PayPal buttons, checkout links, or invoices on your website or online store.

  • Monitor transactions on the PayPal dashboard.

  • Withdraw funds via your linked international account (Payoneer/Wise).


4. Tips for Zimbabwe Users

  • Always provide real, verifiable information

  • Keep your documents updated

  • Use separate email addresses for business and personal accounts

  • Avoid illegal workarounds like fake addresses — they risk permanent bans
