Can I receive money from someone who doesn't have a PayPal account?

I have a client who wants to send me money, but does not have a PayPal account.

 

She was a victim of some kind of scam years ago and is no longer eligible to open a PayPal account.

 

Is there some way that I can receive money from her, without her having a PayPal account?    I know that I can send a request for payment, but I assume she has to have an account to pay that request.

 

She asked if I could create a "gift link," but I don't see any way to do that.

 

Any know a solution?

 

Thanks!

Hi @Jbroc63,

 

I'm sorry to hear that your friend is not able to use a PayPal account. If a person has a limitation on a PayPal account and is not eligible to use PayPal, they would not be allowed to use PayPal to send you a payment. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
