PayPal setup

How do payees pay by paypal if I do not have a website with a paypal button. I have a paypal account, but don't see any info on how the lender would send me the money using paypal. What info do I give him to do this? I need to know rather quickly, as I am doing an app and he wants to pay through paypal.... HELP!

If you have a smartphone, there's a very easy App to use. I prefer SquareUp, the processing fees are cheaper, but I accept both.

There's three ways to do this:

1. "Send money" they go into their paypal account (via their computer or smartphone) and "send" money to your email address. Voila, it turns up, and you can deposit it. All they need to have is the amount due, and the email address that you use for paypal.

2. Request money you log into your account, create an invoice to their email address, they log into their account, receive the invoice and transfer funds.

3. POS sale. (Paypal or Squareup both work) This is a point of sale transaction, which is done either with a card reader (the only card reader I carry is the free squareup device, but Paypal has one too), you either swipe the card, or you manually enter the card info. The person "signs" on the touch screen, and the payment is processed, just like a credit card reader at the supermarket.

I use all three methods on a regular basis, so please feel free to drop me a line if you need more specific instructions.

Here's how I get paid thru paypal. The client logs into paypal and clicks pay to and puts in my email address.

I like to send the invoice rather than rely on the payer sending on their own. With the invoice, PayPal sends reminders to me to send 2nd notice if I haven't been paid.
