Receiving Money Setup
To set up your PayPal account for receiving money, you'll need to link it to a bank account. This is a crucial step in the process, as it allows you to withdraw funds or store money online in your PayPal account.
You can link your bank account to PayPal by following the method mentioned in Example 2. It's a straightforward and quick process that requires minimal information.
Once you've linked your bank account, you'll need to familiarize yourself with PayPal's commission fees. These fees vary by account type, amount, and payment method, and can range from 4.5% for currency conversions to other fees for different transactions.
You can find more information about commission fees on the official PayPal website, so be sure to take a look.
When you receive a payment, you'll get a notification on your phone or email address. You can then transfer the money to your bank account or keep it on the balance to make purchases or send money online to other users.
If you've created an account for your business, you can receive payments by adding your account as a payment method on the site, sending invoices to customers, or using the link/QR code to send it to clients.
Here are some key facts to keep in mind:
- PayPal may take one or two pay periods before you can start getting payments deposited in your account.
- Be sure to note that your account is a checking account (rather than a savings account) when providing your direct deposit information to your employer.
