Payment request link via email

Sorry I don't know the exact term for this so it's hard for me to search for an answer.

Does the email for your paypal account need to be the same when you recieve a request for payment from someone?

i.e I signed up for a service using my email not linked to my paypal account, and they are going to try to send a request for payment using that email. Will the link ask me for paypal login or will it just assume the email it was sent to was the paypal account? (The email they are sending the link to is not linked to my paypal but a relative's...)

Hello suihanki,

 

Thanks for stopping in!

 

You would want to make sure that you have that email address added & confirmed on your PayPal account in order to pay the request. 

 

Hope this helps!
