Hi. I'm trying to setup a PayPal account and it's not exactly user friendly. 1. Where it says make up a link after PayPal in the initial setup, do I make up a link name? 2. I'm trying to set this up to sell things on fb and it says to save a QR code, I hit save and it takes me to an application screen. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do on this screen. I allowed notifications, I'm at a loss as for as anything else. HELP

Hi @Newbeging24,
I'm sorry that there's confusion about setting up your PayPal account.
To choose your PayPal.me link, you would choose the unique word or sequence that would follow paypal.me/ and would allow others to enter your link for payment. Most people use their name or something similar, or a word that means something to them that they wouldn't mind sharing with the world. Don't use any private information like a password.
I'm not sure where you're being directed to save a QR code. What process are you selecting that results in the instruction to save the QR code?
Thank you!
Olivia
