PayPal Me: Short URL For Accepting Payment via PayPal
There is little security concern when you send email address to anyone because It reveals lot of information about you and also If you are using free email services then It looks so unprofessional but Don't worry, Now you can officially get a short PayPal URL like paypal.me/YourName which can be shared with your friends, family or clients to get paid.
PayPal Me is a faster, easier way to get paid through PayPal. Just share your unique PayPal Me link with your customers. They can simply tap on your link, type in the amount and confirm to pay. They don’t even have to know your email address or install the PayPal app! Your customers can also enjoy the benefit of PayPal Buyer Protection for their eligible transactions.
Steps to Get a Short PayPal URL to Accept Payment:
PayPal Me is an official feature to have a short PayPal URL by PayPal team which is free but currently available to limited countries.
To get a official short PayPal URL, You need to have a PayPal account but If you don't have a PayPal account then you can read my another article How to create and verify PayPal account to create a verified PayPal account.
If you already have a PayPal account then you can head over this link to visit official website and then just click on "Create Your PayPal.Me Link" to create your short PayPal payment link.
When done, You will be redirected to another page where you will be able to create your own short PayPal URL using your name or your business name.
Keep in mind, You will not able to edit your link later so be careful to choose your short link and also If your preferred link is already taken then you should try some alternatives because it works on a first come, first-served basis.
The good thing about this service is, It works on both desktop & mobile and the sad thing is, It is available for limited countries but as it is a new official feature so I can definitely say that It would be available for others countries too very soon.
Now let me show you, How your short PayPal link page will look like when someone open it on their Desktop or Mobile device.
Now you have a clear idea about this official PayPal service. It looks so awesome and professional and also it will make sending & receiving payment easier than before.
I can definitely say, Your client or customers also love this methods because they don't have to do extra work to make payment like they do with email address. They just need to enter the amount of money to be paid and then just confirm their pay and also they don't need to know your email address of your PayPal account.
