    how can anyone accept personal payments on a website, it is clearly meant to send only for personal use.

    Hi Worms11,

    This is a great question and a great idea. Unfortunately, you cannot currently create a Paypal button for services because it is difficult to price services accurately. If you want to accept Paypal, you can use Paypal's invoice option and indicate somewhere on your site that you accept Paypal. I would recommend creating a blurb with a different font and in a separate color from the rest of your text so that it stands out. Additionally, I am not sure whether you wish to accept credit cards, but if you do there are a couple of options. You could get Paypal's card reader or Square's card reader. Unfortunately, these both have fees per transaction.

    Here are the links to Paypal's card reader service and Square's card reader service:

    Paypal-https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/credit-card-reader
    Square- https://squareup.com/

    Hope this helps answer your question,

    Shawn

    Hello,

    Do you know if it is possible to add some code to Paypal links to get paid for a service ?

    The good point of asking payment for service is that customers cannot open a dispute and get their money back, am I right ?

    Usually Paypal "pay now" links look like this:

    http://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=you@email.com&item_name=Payment&currency_code=USD&lc=en&amount=10
    Code (markup):
    Can we add something to declare that it is a service ?

    Thanks.

    You are Indiana and obviously it should be for Indian account.
