What is PayPal Payment Service? PayPal is becoming very popular and there would be very few people who would not be aware of such services. All those people, who are into freelancing or who do transactions online, would be aware of these PayPal services that are being offered. These PayPal web services were started in the year 1998 and they were later acquired by eBay in 2002 which is considered to be another giant in its own field. With great effort and dedication, pay pal has become a global leader in these payment services and it has more than hundred million people availing its services. Its presence can be felt in fifty five countries across the world. All those people who buy and sell things online or do transactions or businesses online are using these services. This service is basically an offering which lets the customers make payments for the goods and services bought by them online through them. The customers need not pay money directly to the buyers on their websites and this as a result provides lot of security and safety to the people who are transacting online. This service is very important for such online transactions as most of these online transacting parties are not aware of each 3
other's complete profile and at times have not even seen each other's faces. The biggest advantage of this service is that the customer need not give his sensitive information like credit card details and still do transactions online. The merchant dealing with such services need not have a separate merchant account and also would not be dealing with the credit card details of the customer. All those people who are not willing to make separate merchant accounts or are willing to give multiple payment options to their prospective customers can make use of these services. The entire process is very simple with these services. The customer who is willing to buy goods from the merchant will click on the payment option provided on the merchant's website from where he would be taken to the PayPal web hosting service and then he would return back to the seller's website once the transaction is done. The other features of this PayPal web hosting service are that it does not have set up fees, cancellation fees, monthly service fees, monthly minimum payments, annual membership fees, monthly gateway fees, etc. and the transactions are completed on their site itself instead of the seller.
How to Set Up a PayPal Account For Online Payments
What is PayPal? In a nutshell, PayPal is an on-line payment processor that allows any individual or business with an email address to send and receive payments securely and easily simply using a bank account, credit card, debit card or stored balance. Your privacy is always secure since this security is an inbuilt feature in using the system. At no time will vendor 4
or seller see each others personal of financial details.
How To Set Up A PayPal Account 1. The first thing you need to do is visit PayPal.com. Regardless of which country you are in PayPal will read your IP address (which is your on-line address assigned by your network) and automatically place your country location to the correct PayPal web address. 2. At the very top of the screen you will see "Sign Up", "Log In", "Help" and "Security Centre". You need to click the "Sign Up" text. I nearly forgot. If you are a business and want to open a business account you will need click on the "business tab" which is immediately below the menu options I've just mentioned. The sign up questions are similar, but for the sake of this article we'll assume you want to sign up as an individual. (I've written a separate article when signing up as a business. 3. If you pressed the "Sign Up" text, you will automatically be signing up under the "Personal" tab which is completely free and allows you to send and receive funds as long as t comes from another PayPal account and not a credit card. 4. The next screen simply confirms which country you are signing up from and what sort of account you would like to sign up for, Personal, Premier or Business. In the first instance click on the drop down menu and find the relevant country you live in, then in the personal box click on the Get Started" button. 5. The next screen will ask you some personal details such as, email address, choose a
5
password, first name, last name etc. Fill these details in accurately.
Notes For Choosing A Password As some extra notes on choosing a password, I would advise you to choose one that you don't use anywhere else. I.e. bank Internet access, or forum access. The reason for this is, it is easy for people to hack into your account simply by guessing that you'll probably use the same password as you use for other accounts. If you use a completely new one for PayPal, it is virtually impossible for anyone to guess your password. A combination of letters and numbers is always best. It's easier for people to guess names you may use, but guessing names and numbers you might use in combination is impossible for them to guess. 6. The next step is secure your debit or credit card details with PayPal. This information will vital later on since you'll be able to trade a great deal faster with this information stored on PayPal. You will be asked some further security details later, but for now just choose the appropriate option here. 7. Read the service description, user agreement and privacy policy fully. Once you're read and understood them, click on the "Agree and Create" button at the bottom of this sign up screen. 8. As long as you've entered all of the correct details on the previous page, this page will ask you to confirm your sign up by checking your email. This is a security process that eliminates spamming and people signing up under false pretenses.

9. Once you've confirmed by email you'll be forwarded back to PayPal and asked this time to "Log-In" with the email address you gave previously and your password. 10. You are now on the account screen. You have several options open to you, such as sending money, requesting money, and merchant services etc. Have a play around with some the tabs to familiarize yourself with them and get to know them.
PayPal: A Friendly Way to Pay PayPal is becoming more and more prevalent as a means of doing business on the internet. Those who spend a lot of time on eBay are well aware of how PayPal works. Now that more and more websites are asking for PayPal payments, many consumers are left scratching their heads and wondering, "What is PayPal? Is it safe? Is it easy?" PayPal is a means of making or receiving secure payments over the internet in the place of a credit card. Consumers must sign up for a PayPal account and link it to either a bank account or a credit card. When the time comes to pay for a purchase over the internet, the customer provides the merchant with their PayPal account information, the money is paid to the merchant (less a small transaction fee) and the linked bank account or credit card is charged appropriately. 7
Common uses for PayPal include sending and receiving money to or from friends and family online, requesting money for a charity drive and making online purchases. In addition, when requesting money, an invoice and detailed payment instructions can be generated. Money can be sent to over fifty five countries in the following currencies: U.S. dollar, Canadian Dollar, Euro, Pound Sterling, Australian Dollar, and Yen. Using PayPal is easy to use, safe and free for the purchaser. PayPal doesn't share financial information so the seller never sees bank account or credit account numbers. They have strict anti-fraud measures in place and protect buyers from unauthorized purchases. In addition, for those who accept payments into their PayPal account, an ATM/debit card is available for easy access to funds. Otherwise, simply log into PayPal and request a transfer of funds back into the previously linked bank account. With over 96 million PayPal accounts already set up worldwide, PayPal is clearly making friends.

What is Paypal IPN? Let's talk about your business for a minute and do a little dreaming. How would it be to have an easy, instant, fool-proof way to process your payments? What if you could respond to customer purchases in real-time? What would it be like to have total security against having your digital products stolen? Wouldn't all those things be great? Well, good news! You don't have to dream anymore. PayPal's IPN does all those things for you. So, What is PayPal IPN? Read on. IPN is PayPal's Instant Payment Notification system, designed to help alleviate many of the concerns of dealing with customers during the check out process. When a payment is sent to your account, IPN sends you notification and confirmation immediately. Not only that, but you'll receive a status report that lets you know of any pertinent information such as when a transaction fails, is cancelled or pending. One really cool aspect of PayPal IPN is the customizing options. You can set up your site's response to purchases in real-time, track customers and automate your fulfillment operations. The system can deliver the access keys to your product directly to the customer for pick up, and all the resulting purchase information is stored right in your own database. Imagine how easy doing business is with these kinds of payment processing systems in place. So to summarize, the PayPal IPN basically uses a 3 step process:
9
1.The customer makes a payment or requests a refund, triggering the IPN 2.A notification is sent from the IPN to your server for validation 3.Your server returns the validation (or invalidation) notice to the IPN Your business transaction is done, and all without you having to do anything beyond the initial set up of the IPN on your site. Something that should be mentioned here, is the fact that installing the IPN can be a bit tricky if you're not familiar with how computer codes work. If that describes you, you are probably not going to want to frustrate yourself with trying. Besides, getting it wrong is a bad idea. The payments may not go into your account if you have improperly installed the IPN code. It's best to look for help with this. There is software that makes the installation a breeze, and you'll have the peace of mind knowing that it is done correctly. Minisite Sales System is one such program that is worth checking out. Regardless of how you install PayPal's IPN, please consider doing so. It will save you a ton of work and worry. The added security against having your digital products stolen is reason alone to use this program.

A New Way To Process Money
What is PayPal.Me? This new platform is modern and easier way to get people to pay you or send you money that you are owed.
See PayPal acquired a mobile payment app last year called Venmo, that has been a popular option with people that use smartphone devices. Venmo is an app that allows users to request and send money with the tap of a few buttons. This makes it an easier
way to send money, instead of having to log on to PayPal.com and taking time to fill out a form, which can be a hinderance to people paying you back faster. What PayPal.me was created to do was integrate the Venmo app into the PayPal.com platform. This becomes an easier way to request your money from someone or simply 11
use a specific link, to send money to people that you owe. It's free to sign up with PayPal.me and after that you can create your own unique link. Once you get your own personalized link, you can email it, text it, tweet it or post it where ever you want online. When the person gets the link, they can pay right there on the spot, making it much more faster to get paid instantly.
Being online as a product creator or even an affiliate, you have to sometimes wait for your payment processor that you are affiliated with, to pay you. This can be a Net15 or Net30, which means that even if you make a sale that day, you still have to wait 2 weeks
or at the end of the month to get paid. When you have bills that need to be paid or you just need your money right then and there, then PayPal.me becomes the best option, to get paid instantly.
With the PayPal.Me link it makes it super easy to get paid and me and my Business partner Jeremy Kennedy thought up over 20 unique ways to make money with it. If you want to know how to make money starting today then check out this exclusive report. Go Here
