How PayPal payment links work

A PayPal link lets someone pay you by clicking a URL, without you building a checkout or installing a plugin. You can put it in an email, an invoice, a social profile or a button on your website. This generator creates links for buy-now payments, money requests and subscriptions.

Choosing the right type

Money requests are the simplest way to ask a client or friend for a set amount.
Buy-now links carry an item name, price and currency, which suits selling a single product or service.
Subscription links charge a set amount on a schedule, for memberships or retainers.

Avoid common problems

Currency. Set the currency explicitly, or buyers may see a price converted at PayPal's exchange rate.
Fees and protection. Fees vary by country and payment type. Payments for goods and services carry buyer protection and fees; personal transfers between friends do not.
Your email address. Classic payment links can include your PayPal email address, which anyone who sees the link can read. Use a dedicated business address if that matters to you.
Test before sharing. Open the link in a private window and go as far as the confirmation step to check the amount and the recipient.

Watch out for fake payment links

Fraudsters send fake payment links that lead to look-alike login pages. Before paying through a link someone sent you, make sure it really goes to paypal.com. The redirect checker shows the true destination of a shortened link without you opening it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to share a PayPal payment link?

A payment link can only be used to send money to you; nobody can use it to take money from your account. Classic PayPal links can show your PayPal email address, so use an address you are comfortable sharing.

Do buyers need a PayPal account?

Not always. In many countries PayPal lets buyers pay by card without creating an account, but this depends on the buyer's country and the type of payment.

What fees apply?

PayPal sets the fees, and they depend on your country and on whether the payment is for goods and services or a personal transfer. Check PayPal's current fee page before you set a price.

Can I change the amount after sharing the link?

No. The amount is part of the link itself, so create a new link whenever the price changes.
