[Chrissy771]

Hi, I am attending a charity event and want to be able to accept one off payments using my mobile phone.  How can I do this using my personal account?

Any advice please?

Hello @Chrissy771,

Welcome to the PayPal Community! One really easy option to receive payments that you may want to look into is the PayPal.me product. You can use PayPal.me on a Personal and Business account and your buyers just need the link, a mobile phone, and a credit card to send you money. The best option to receive payments in person would be our PayPal Zettle product. This is only available on a Business account, but you get the option to swipe credit / debit cards on your mobile device with a card reader and Zettle App. Here are a few more resources you may find useful as well:
