Overview
- Users generate a temporary payment URL in the PayPal app to request or send a set amount, then share it via messaging apps, email or SMS.
- Links apply to one transaction for a designated person and expire after ten days if unused, with options to send reminders or reissue.
- Funds are credited immediately once the recipient confirms the payment within the app.
- The feature is live in the United States and scheduled to reach the U.K., Italy and additional markets later in September, with Germany timing unannounced.
- PayPal plans to add support for cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum and PYUSD, though no launch date has been provided.
