Here’s how to use PayPal invoices to grow your business.
Merchants who sell globally can face high cross-border fees, buyer trust issues, and currency confusion. PayPal cuts through the complexity, helping businesses get paid country to country with a name customers recognize. And PayPal invoicing is free to send. You only pay when you get paid, with percentage fees that depend on payment choice and current exchange rates.
Send cross-border invoices with confidence and invoice in multiple currencies. PayPal supports 23 currencies, so your international clients can pay in their preferred currency. PayPal invoices are available to use in 200+ markets with 755M+ PayPal invoices sent globally.2 Backed by 400M+ active PayPal accounts1 and global fraud protection, you can invoice internationally without the complexity.
On-the-go services can create and send invoices from their phone and receive an immediate response. A consultant can send their invoice with deposit details. A contractor can request payment from any business site. A merchant can get paid before shipping. Payments go straight to your PayPal business account, keeping money flowing.
Improve conversion with payment options that include PayPal, Venmo (US only), Pay Later, Apple Pay®, debit and credit cards, and Pay by Bank (ACH), in 23 currencies for invoicing. Customers can pay from nearly anywhere, on any device, without a PayPal account, speeding up the payment process.
When you send invoices to new clients or customers abroad, payment disputes are a real business risk. PayPal Seller Protection gives eligible sellers coverage against unauthorized payment claims and “item not received” disputes, which protects your revenue when something goes wrong.
Most invoicing tools leave dispute resolution entirely to you. PayPal is different. With 25+ years of experience managing payments, fraud prevention, and dispute resolution at scale, PayPal’s infrastructure works for you.
For cross-border transactions especially, PayPal Seller Protection removes a major barrier: the fear of sending a large invoice to an overseas client and having no recourse if the payment is disputed due to fraud or items not received claims. Send international invoices with confidence, wherever your customers are.
Customizing your invoice with your logo and branding is managed entirely from your PayPal business account, via the mobile PayPal app, or on the web. This allows you to create and send invoices whether you are working from your desk or on the go.
Set up recurring invoices with automated payment reminders and expiration dates to reduce manual follow-ups. Use Recurring Series in your Invoices business dashboard to manage subscription billing, retainer agreements, and any repeat billing cycles. Start from a saved template to keep every invoice on-brand without extra setup.
For high-volume invoicing, use batch invoices via CSV upload to create and send invoices to multiple customers at once. It’s perfect for wholesale businesses, businesses that manage orders in a spreadsheet, or teams exporting from an order management system. Track all invoice statuses in real time from your PayPal business account.
PayPal Invoicing includes post-payment feedback collection, allowing customers to rate services and leave comments at the time of payment. These buyer ratings provide a signal of customer satisfaction that can help you improve service relationships over time.
Sending an invoice is more than just a step in getting paid. It creates more opportunities to streamline your workflow, build your brand, level up your professional relationships, and enhance customer interactions.
Now you’re getting paid and growing at every step.
