PayPal is an online payment service that allows its members to send money online to anyone with an email address. Once you sign up for a free account, you can use PayPal to send and receive money from a funding source you choose, such as a credit card or your bank account.

With PayPal buttons, you can affordably accept credit card and other payments through your site. You'll pay a small fee for some transactions, such as receiving credit card funds. Learn more about the costs of using PayPal. (For a complete list of fees, please see the PayPal web site.)

You can use PayPal Buy Now Buttons to let your site visitors purchase individual items on your site, and use PayPal Donations Buttons to accept donations to your organization or charity. When a visitor clicks a PayPal button on your site, a new window will open containing a PayPal payment details page. The visitor will be prompted to sign in to an existing PayPal account or sign up for a new one, then complete the transaction on the PayPal web site. Learn more.

When you receive a payment through PayPal, you will be notified by email. Learn more.
