The record

Purpose: PayPal.Me lets people request and receive money by sharing a personalized payment link.
Personal and business use: The link can be used for personal or business payments, and the main page presents it for friends, freelancers, and businesses.
Payment flow: A payer follows the link, enters an amount, and sends the payment; the payer does not need to know the recipient’s email address or phone number or have the PayPal app.
Sharing: The link can be shared by email, text, chat, or on a business card.
Link format: A requested amount and currency code can be appended to the link, such as /25AUD for 25 Australian dollars.
Link limits: Each PayPal account can have one link; its name is limited to 20 characters and cannot be changed after creation.
Availability: A link never expires, but whether someone can pay through it depends on PayPal.Me availability in their country or region.
Account types: PayPal.Me is open to all account types, but business accounts can only accept Goods and Services payments.
Payment destination: Payments received through PayPal.Me go into the recipient’s PayPal balance.
Privacy: The PayPal.Me page displays the link, name or business name, profile picture or logo, and account town or city, and the link can be turned off in account settings.
Fees: PayPal says setting up the link is free; its US fee page says receiving personal transactions has no fee when no currency conversion is involved, while commercial payments are subject to merchant fees.
Protection: The PayPal.Me page says business users and their customers benefit from PayPal protection programs, and says business accounts benefit from Seller Protection.
Security: PayPal says its security measures include firewalls, data encryption, physical access controls at data centers, and information access authorization controls.
Support: The PayPal.Me FAQ directs users to PayPal’s Help Center, Resolution Center, Message Center, Technical Help, and Business Help.
