 Can I use a Personal account or do I need to have a Business account? What type of account should I create with PayPal if I wish to use PayPal payment gateway included in HBook? What PayPal API does HBook use, and what are the requirements?

 HBook uses **PayPal Express Checkout** API. We use this API as it is highly secured and reliable. It requires a **PayPal Business** account.
