PayPal makes requesting payments very easy.
Once you have your account created, you're ready to start requesting money. If you need help on creating an account, we have an article for that under the PayPal section, check it out!
You can share your email or username with the person you're requesting money from, and they can manually type in that information into their PayPal app. However, there's a link you can send them that will auto direct them to pay you.
To retrieve this, you'll start by opening your PayPal app.
Click on your profile icon in the top left-hand corner.
You'll see your username, and below that a blue @ with your name.
Click on that and it'll open a new page, at the bottom you'll see "share my profile" which will give you a shareable link!
You're going to want to come up with some form of payment note along with this. You can make this whatever you want, but here is what we use for example:
PLEASE READ SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY
Please send $X using friends and family. 🚨 Only put your USERNAME in the notes WITHOUT the @ symbol and NOTHING else 🚨
