Advice on payments please

[maryuk]

Hi,

I have got a friend who runs a 'not for profit' book selling business. He would like to add the option to pay via PayPal. Can he offer the option to accept PayPal payments without having the PayPal button and a business account?

Any advice appreciated,

Thank you,

Mary

Hi maryuk,

Welcome to the community forum and thanks for posting.

If your friend would like to accept PayPal payments but not have a button the PayPal.me feature might work for him. You can find more information on this here https://www.paypal.me/?locale.x=en_US&country.x=Uk which you can pass on. This feature allows for a link to be created which can be shared with customers and used to pay.

You mentioned that your friend's business is 'not for profit' for us this category only applies to registered charities. He can of course run his business on PayPal but it is best not to choose the 'not for profit' unless he has registered charity documents.

I hope this helps.
