# How do I receive money from PayPal?

If you use PayPal to collect payments from customers, you can withdraw your sales proceeds into the World Account. With the World Account, you can hold your multi-currency funds, make conversions at competitive FX rates, remit to your bank account, or pay your third-party suppliers abroad. You can even make purchases at wholesale sites like 1688.com directly with your World Account balance. With a few simple steps, you can start withdrawing your PayPal funds.

#### **The type of Receiving Account I set up to withdraw from PayPal**

You need to set up a Receiving Account in the corresponding currency of your PayPal balance. Otherwise, PayPal may convert your balance into your account currency, for which they will charge a fee.

#### **|** Step 1 - **Set up the Receiving Account**

- On your World Account dashboard, go to the "**Collection**" tab
- Then click on "**Manage Accounts" > "Add a New Receiving Account**". You can then select the currency of your PayPal withdrawal balance
- Once the account is set up, you can click on "**Details**" to get the account details
