Recently, I had an issue with my PayPal account where I couldn't withdraw funds to my bank. Every time I tried, I received an error. I also attempted to use Xoom as an alternative, but they canceled my transactions every time.
After spending a couple of hours trying different solutions, I became frustrated. That’s when I realized something.
I have a Stripe account, and if you connect it with PayPal, there is a way to transfer funds from PayPal to Stripe. However, this only works when a customer selects PayPal as their payment method during checkout.
Since I have two PayPal accounts, I found a workaround.
I created a payment link on Stripe for the amount I wanted to transfer. Then, I used the PayPal account that held the funds to pay for the transaction. At the same time, I connected my second PayPal account to Stripe, allowing the transferred funds to be automatically deposited into my Stripe account.
This method worked perfectly. You don’t need an aged PayPal account, just a Stripe account and two PayPal accounts.
I hope this helps someone facing a similar issue.
