PayPal Account Business Information is Incomplete
The payouts verification process often will be auto approved when the customer's business account is fully setup and verified as a business. If your payouts request is not auto approved within a few hours, this usually has to do to with one or more of the following reasons:
Most common reason: a new business account that has no public records cannot be verified via automatic processes. This requires merchants to complete the Business Identity dashboard before the Payouts application can be approved.
Second most common reason: the business has not verified their email, phone and or bank to be a verified business account.
Least common reason: the payout application has a high risk intended use or your merchant category is ineligible for payouts.
For issues 1 and 2 above, you can resolve this by logging in to your business PayPal account and look for a notification about setup items that need to be completed. You can also call 1-888-221-1161 for additional help.

If that doesn't resolve your concern click on PayPal's "Contact us" and create a technical support ticket and a member of their team will review your account to help resolve the approval issue for you.
