Hi @itsu60 , I have the same problem here! When I click on "Activate PayPal Express Checkout", the PayPal site popped up and asked me to log in. I followed all the steps to set up my PayPal business account until it said "You're all set" but Shopify still cannot connect to it.

- Once directed to a PayPal login page, log in to your PayPal account and click I Give Permission.
