Send a PayPal invoice and sender can use the credit/debit card option under the login fields.
Make sure you have PayPal account option enabled in your account:
Account Settings > Web Payments > Website Preferences > PayPal account option
Commercial rate fee/applicable currency conversion fee will apply to receive the money. The payment may be put on hold for up to 21 days. You can get them released.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Thanks!
When I am selling my services, what is the difference between sending an invoice to a client and sending a paypal.me link?

Hi @Etzel375,
Welcome back to the Community!
When you send a PayPal.Me link, the customer will need a PayPal account to complete the payment. PayPal.Me is open to all account types, however business accounts can only accept Goods and Services payments. To make a payment through PayPal without opening an account, you'll have to have the recipient send you an invoice or money request. This means you'll receive an email with either a detailed invoice, usually if you're paying a business, or a simple note explaining what the money is needed for.
I hope this helps!
