Editing the link as I paste the wrong one. //
Thank you but I already did that as you can read above Electrum is not accepting my private key that Bitpay is providing.
Upon reading this
article, bitpay wallet should be compatible to electrum wallet.
What character your private key start with? Is it 5, L or xprv it should work for those start on these characters. Also this
article will help for that.
starts with xprv and when entered on the Import Bitcoin addresses or private keys screen on Electrum the "Next" button is grayed out.
the links from bitpay explaining how to get the private key are unnecessary as the app has a simple button to export the private key so there is no need to do that long drawn out process - that being said - I did it yesterday anyways and it just provided me the same private key that the app does. Again, I believe I stated this above.
