Accept Paypal payments without having an account?

I'm a freelance designer. I've been using Paypal & crypto for all of my payments, however some time ago one of my Paypal accounts got blocked (the usual, some bullshit reason, nothing to do about it) and now I've been so sick of using Paypal to the point where I give discounts just to receive payments in only cryptocurrencies.

I'm soon launching a website with some payment processors like stripe to hopefully get away from Paypal, but there are still some clients that want to pay only through it for whatever reason. Is there any way to accept Paypal payments without having an actual account that might get banned again any time?

You have a few options.

- Buy a PP account.
- Use a friends/trust associate's/family members account & give them a small percentage.
- Attempt to create a stealth account.

Nevertheless, you'll need an account for the payment to go to.

Anyhow you must have Paypal account to accept Paypal payments.

You can use Xoom to receive payments from Paypal.

Can I create a Sleath PayPal account so that I can receive payments from Upwork.
Please note that I cannot link a bank account or debit/credit card to my PayPal account
However, what I can do is I have a phone number for PP verification
I also have a driver license so that PayPal account is verified.

You cannot receive money with PayPal without an account.

You can do this one trick though. There are peer-to-peer crypto exchanges that allow you to buy crypto with PayPal. So, the buyer, which would be your customer, will make a PayPal payment to the seller, and the seller will send the bitcoin or some other crypto to your wallet.

As far as I am aware you won’t be able to get around using PayPal without an account
