Paypal: so wondering why my PayPal balance is empty, I checked and found Shopify auto integrated PayPal with Shopify Balance payouts. Is there a way to opt out and have funds distributed to my original PayPal account instead? Additionally, how are fees handled with these payments?
To change where fund are routed I would disable Shopify Payments as your primary processor for PayPal transactions and re-add paypal with manual setup though paypal settings
Nah Shop pay is more worth than PayPal
Unless there's another way to have both? Support told me it's impossible
As far as I know, if you’re using Shopify Balance, PayPal payouts will auto-route there since it’s the default integration. But you can use both Shop Pay and PayPal for customer checkout while still having PayPal funds sent to your original PayPal account.
I would say disconnect Shopify Balance as the default for PayPal payouts. Then keep Shop Pay enabled under Shopify Payments for your checkout, but set PayPal as a separate payment method. In my head, this way Shopify fees will still apply to Shop Pay transactions, and PayPal’s standard fees will apply to PayPal transactions.
Let me know or dm me. I'm a bit brainstorming about this.
