How do I accept payments with PayPal?

With PayPal, you receive money when someone sends a payment to your email address or mobile number. Once that happens, we'll send you a message letting you know that you have money available.

If you have a small/ medium business and manage your own website or don't have a developer, you can get an easy copy/ paste button code to embed on your site using our pay links and buttons solution - no technical knowledge required. This allows you to create a payment link and send it directly to customers or add it as a hyperlink wherever you sell.

If you're a developer or have a developer for your website, you can integrate PayPal Checkout to show the PayPal payment buttons. Go to PayPal Developer to integrate PayPal Checkout.
