I contacted PayPal and got their little blue triangle card reader for use with the “PayPal Here” application, so I can process credit card transactions while at my art booth at the local street fairs. Terrific. But how do I actually use the app for these sort of transactions?
I have some clients that I need to bill on a monthly basis and it’d be terrific if I could use Paypal for this purpose. From what I can tell, however, you need a premium account to do so. Is there any way around it? I can create “subscribe” buttons for my site, but I’d like something a bit more graceful and professional…
I want to set up my PayPal account so I can use the new PayPal Here application on my Apple iPhone 4s. Apparently, I need to set it up with my mobile phone number and a secret PIN code to have PayPal Here run. Except I have no idea how to go about establishing a PIN on my PayPal account. Can you help me out?
I’m a big fan of the Starbucks app on my iPhone, but it’s a hassle when I’m standing in a big line at my local Starbucks and there’s an insufficient balance on my virtual card for the transaction to go through. Is there a way to program the app so that it’ll automatically reload if I get below a certain balance?
I really like the text-message based 2-step verification I have step up for my Facebook account, where I need both my password and the secret code that Facebook sends to my cellphone as a text message to log in. Even if someone rips my password, they can’t get in without my phone too. Cool. [see: Set up login approval for your Facebook account]. My question is: can I do the same for Paypal?
I signed up for a Paypal debit card as an easy way to access my Paypal balance [see Paypal Debit Card vs Paypal Plus Card] after wondering for a long time how to get to the money without requesting checks every few weeks and it’s working well, but I’m wondering if there’s a better way to track transactions than just logging in to the Paypal web site?
A new client recently asked me if they could pay my invoice with a credit card. I’m not set up for credit cards, however, but remember that there’s a way that I can use my Paypal account for this. I know there’ll be a small transaction fee, which they’re willing to add, but how do I send them a request to pay me? I don’t want their credit card info…
I’m freaking out! I sent $200 via Paypal to a friend of mine to help her out in a bind and she said she never saw the money or even a notification show up. Upon closer examination, I realize that I used the wrong email address for her. Now I’m afraid that someone else is getting the money! How can I cancel the transaction ASAP?
