Create a Contact Record Type within a Person Account

Hi there, we're a B2C organisation and run a Person account.  What I can't work out how to do is to convert leads into contacts whenever a lead purchases.  When I manually try to select "convert" in the individual's record it says "Unable to find default record type".  In Contact settings I'm unable to setup a person-type contact record.  Where am I going wrong?

Hi,

Greetings!

This seems like the permission issue for the user on whether they have the Lead Conversion permission or record type permissions as mentioned here.

Kindly mark it as best answer if it helps so that it can help others in the future.

Warm Regards,

Thanks so much, but I've tried everything and I still can't convert Leads to Contacts as I'm unable to set up a Person Account.  When I select "Choose Exisiting" it says "You are converting this lead to a business account. Please choose a person account." and when I select "Create New" it says "Unable to find default record type".  I can't work out how to set up a Person type Account.  I am the admin.  Thanks in advance
