Hi All  
I’m in the process of setting up a shop on Folksy and I am very excited to get going!  
I’ve upgraded my PayPal account to the Business Account but wondered what they need when they ask for a Business Account name?  
Is this my shop name I use for Folksy or the name on my Bank account?

Many thanks Jan x

Hi Jan,

It was a long time ago that I set mine up, but I’m quite sure I named it as my JoSara name. I’m pretty sure that’s just for your reference and not tied to anything outside of Paypal at all. I should think it’s useful for people with more than one shop so they can separate payments into different accounts.

Hi Jo

OK - thank you for your quick reply! I’ll go back in and change it to my shop name then. This is taking me such a long time - but I’m sure it’ll all be worth it in the end lol!

Kindest

Jan
