I want to upgrade my personal account into a business account for my shopify store, and I'm basically worried if the buyers will see my info. Any advice on this?

In general, you’re supposed to provide adequate contact info for your customers in case something goes wrong, they can contact you instead of opening a dispute (which can cause you to lose your PayPal account if you build up too many unnecessarily) and to show you’re a real business.
That said, just go through all the PayPal account settings you can find and make the adjustments. You can add a different address as primary business address (different from your billing/personal home address) in your account. You can hide your info in invoices.
For the most part, buyer will see your PayPal email address, business name, and the short/long business name that appear on customer’s card/bank statements unless you make public your business url, business address, business phone. Whenever I buy from a business through PayPal, all I see is their business name in the transaction details and email confirmations.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
