Why can I not find a PayPal.Me link in my app?
Menu names and product availability vary. Check the official web account and PayPal.Me help for your country rather than creating an invented profile address.
How to find your PayPal.Me link on mobile or desktop
Your existing PayPal.Me address is a reusable profile link in the form paypal.me/yourname. Sign in through PayPal’s official website or app and open the PayPal.Me or profile-sharing area. Labels can vary by account, country and app version.
Find and check the address
Open PayPal directly rather than following an unexpected message. Look for your profile or PayPal.Me sharing controls and copy the public address shown there. Open it separately and confirm that the recipient name is yours. If no link exists, check PayPal.Me availability and the setup option offered to your account; a generator cannot register a new PayPal username.
Know which link you copied
A PayPal.Me profile, a one-time app money request, a business Payment Link and an invoice URL are different destinations. Use the business Payment Links dashboard for a product checkout, or send an invoice when the customer needs a numbered billing document. Do not apply an app request’s expiry rules to every PayPal URL.
Share safely and give the customer a clear task
Add the public URL to the intended email, website or social profile. State the purpose, amount and currency when relevant. Never share a logged-in account-management URL, login code or password. Verify the transaction in your receiving account before delivering an order; a receipt image is not sufficient. Use the alternative comparison only when you actually want to switch checkout platforms.
Frequently asked questions
Does a PayPal link generator create my PayPal.Me account?
No. A tool can format an existing public username into a URL; account and username registration happen with PayPal.
