Paypal Direct Payment (I need to accept each payment)

Someone here knows how to "auto-accept" Paypal payments? People are purchasing my project on Itch.io 2 or 3 times and it seems that I need to accept the payment first so they can have access to my project files.

This is a setting on your PayPal account, you’ll have to go through the settings page and find the relevant section about reviewing payments and turn it off.

Hope that helps

Thanks leafo!

However, I searched the settings and got a bit lost in there. I could not find anything related to it. You are much more experienced with Paypal than me, do you have any idea on which section this particular setting could be?

I’m sorry, I don’t remember off the top of my head, and PayPal tends to change their UI. I recommend going through all the settings options, or doing a search online about it. It may be related to security settings, or seller settings. If that doesn’t work, you can contact PayPal support about it.

When you do find it, reply to me here and I’ll make a note so I can help if anyone else has the same issue in the future.

I FOUND IT!

You need to go into: settings -> seller tools -> payments -> payment preferences

I don't know if that's right in EN-US, I translated myself, originally it's: configurações -> ferramentas do vendedor -> receber pagamentos -> preferências de recebimento de pagamento

I also needed to agree with "automatically currency conversion" there, so these settings may be different from country to country.

Thanks again Leafo! =)
