I was trying to connect my Paypal account to my Itch.io page, but the only payment processor available is Stripe. I don't have a Stripe account.

Bring back the Paypal option.

Hello,

We had to temporarily disable direct payments with PayPal due to the deprecation of the API that was being used. At the time we recommended people to switch to our payouts system, but we’ve since implemented a new PayPal integration and re-enabled direct payments to PayPal:

Thanks

I choose the payout method "Collected by itch.io, paid later", I Wanna To Know How Can I Get the payment from the Buyers,Because The paypal ,paypal requires a business account to receive payments, i am  Individual , So  What Can i Do when i Choose  "Collected by itch.io, paid later"

Please , How Can i Get My payment , After Some One Pay for "My Stuff" On itch (I Choose The “Collected by itch.io, paid later”)

I choose the payout method "Collected by itch.io, paid later", I Wanna To Know How Can I Get the payment from the Buyers,Itch.io Change The related policy

That paypal requires a business account to receive payments, i am a  Individual Seller Not  Business , So  What Can i Do when i Choose  "Collected by itch.io, paid later"

Generally speaking, "business" is not the same as "corporation." If you are an individual seller, you are running a business as an individual seller. As far as this situation, I just went through the paypal reconnection on itch.io and upgraded my paypal as required to a business account, and so far I haven't seen any issues. When I answered the three questions on the upgrade page, I answered "sole proprietorship" for the type of business organization https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sole_proprietorship

But when I upgrade to a business user, he needs me to provide a copy of the business license, I do n’t have that kind of thing

Who is "he?" Paypal? I didn't see a requirement for a business license when I upgraded my paypal account.

However, I am in the US. I don't know if there are differerent requirements in other countries.
