Transfer money online

To accept the money, you must open a PayPal account and confirm your email address. After that, all you have to do is give the sender your email address or phone number. To add an additional layer of confidence when receiving payment, we now provide the sender of funds with the option to share a link directly with the recipient that the recipient can use to access and redeem their money.

With PayPal, you can make a payment to someone's email address or via PayPal.Me.

Here's how to pay using our website:

Sending domestic personal transactions fees:

If the payment method is a PayPal balance, bank account, or Amex Send Account, there is no fee; if the payment method is another card, the fee will be 2.90% + a fixed fee.

If you want to know more, please visit our PayPal consumer fees page.

To use a balance as a payment method, you need to have a PayPal Balance account.

You'll be able to get a PayPal Balance account when someone sends you money. Once you click Accept the Money, you’ll see two options: Transfer it to your bank and Keep it in PayPal. Click Keep it in PayPal and follow the steps.

QR code payments allow you to get paid in person with PayPal just by displaying your QR code for customers to scan using the PayPal app. It's free to create and share a QR code.

You may download your QR code directly, and then you're ready to start using your code to receive payments straight away.

To pay, your customer opens the camera on their phone or their PayPal app and scans the code to pay.
