When I go to Payment Processors , choose "Connect to PayPal" and input my email and password, I get a screen that says:

Please confirm your email to activate your account.

To do this, follow the instructions we sent to (email)

Thanks for signing up!

You now have an account, and you've successfully integrated PayPal with itch.io. Don't forget to confirm your email so you can access payments."

 (red warning sign) Email confirmed with PayPal

(checkmark) Payments receivable

(checkmark) Account permissions
