The sign up process is slightly different for charities. You must first sign up for a PayPal Business Account and select the ‘Non-Profit, Political & Religion’ category.
Then you have to email PayPal to ask to apply for the low charity rate. In your email you should provide the following information:
- Charity Name
- Registered postal address
- Charity Commission or OSCR number
- Mission Statement
- Email address registered with your PayPal account
PayPal will then review your application and do the necessary checks and then notify you of the outcome.
If you are confident about setting up your PayPal Account then go ahead. It is relatively straight forward. If you are unsure and would like a full walk through then continue reading on.
Note: Remember to set your account up as a PayPal Business Account
