PayPal is one of the most popular tactics for sending cash to friends, family, and sellers, your mobile app, or your website.
If you’re sending cash to a friend or family member, you may not have to pay any fees. All you need is your friend’s email address, phone number, or PayPal username, plus a connected bank account or credit or debit card.
Here’s how to send money on PayPal, using the iPhone and Android mobile app, or the desktop website.
1. Launch the app and log in.
2. On the homepage, there’s a toolbar at the bottom of the screen. Tap “Send,” which should be the option on the left.
3. Enter the email address or phone number of the user you want to send the money to. Part of the page will be filled with your contacts, meaning other people you’ve already sent cash to or earned cash.
4. Enter the amount of cash you want to send. If you tap the little arrow below the amount, you can replace the currency you want to send your cash in. Tap “Next” to check the amount you want to send.
5. On the next page, you can make sure everything related to your cash movement is correct, upload a note and the payment method you should use.
6. Tap “Send Now” and your move will be complete.
1. Launch your preferred browser, go to https://www.paypal.com, and log in.
2. Once you’ve signed in, locate “Send & Request” in the menu at the top of the page and click it.
3. In the textbox, type in the email address, username, or phone number of the person you want to send money to.
4. A pop-up menu will ask if the cash is being sent to a friend or supplier. Be sure to “Send to a Friend” – this is free.
5. Use the text box again to enter the quantity you want to send. You can also upload a note on the back to specify what the cash is for or send it as a gift. Tap “Continue” when you’re done.
6. PayPal will automatically select your preferred payment method. If your preferred payment method isn’t what you want to use for this transaction, select “Change Payment Method” before continuing.
