People are currently reading this guide.

Alright, let's get your PayPal link copied on your iPhone! Have you ever needed to quickly share your PayPal.Me link so someone could easily send you money? It's a pretty handy feature, and I can walk you through exactly how to do it.

Step 1: Unlock and Open the PayPal App

First things first, grab your iPhone and unlock it. Once you're on your home screen, find the blue PayPal app icon (it looks like two overlapping 'P's) and tap it to open.

Step 2: Navigate to Your Profile

Once the app has loaded, you'll likely land on your Summary or Home screen. Now, look for your profile icon. This is usually located in the top left corner of the screen and might display your profile picture or initials. Tap on this icon to access your profile settings.

Step 3: Access Your Profile Settings

After tapping your profile icon, a menu or a new screen will appear with various options related to your account. Within this section, you need to find the option that leads you to your profile details or settings. It might be labeled something like:

Finding the Right Option

  • Profile: This is the most likely option. Tap on it.
  • Settings: Sometimes, you might need to go into a general "Settings" menu first, and then look for a "Profile" or "Account" section within that.
  • Account Settings: This is another possibility where you might find the link.

Take a quick look around the screen. The goal is to find where your personal PayPal information is stored.

Step 4: Locate Your PayPal.Me Link

Once you're in the profile or account settings, you should be able to find your unique PayPal.Me link. This is the specific link you can share with others to receive payments easily. The location of this link might vary slightly depending on the app version, but here are a few places to look:

Where to Look for the Link

  • Directly on the Profile Page: Sometimes, your PayPal.Me link is displayed prominently on your main profile page. It might be under your name or email address.
  • PayPal.Me Section: There might be a dedicated section labeled "PayPal.Me". Tap on this to manage or view your link.
  • Share Options: You might see a "Share" button or icon (often a square with an upward arrow) next to your name or profile information. Tapping this could reveal your PayPal.Me link.

Keep an eye out for a link that looks something like paypal.me/YourUsername.

Step 5: Copy Your PayPal.Me Link

Once you've found your PayPal.Me link, the next step is to copy it. Here's how you usually do this on an iPhone:

The Copying Process

  1. Tap and Hold: Gently tap and hold on the PayPal.Me link displayed on your screen.
  2. "Copy" Option: After a brief hold, a small menu should pop up. Look for the "Copy" option in this menu and tap it.

That's it! Your PayPal.Me link is now copied to your iPhone's clipboard. You can now paste it into messages, emails, or anywhere else you need to share it.

Step 6: Verify the Link (Optional but Recommended)

To make sure you've copied the correct link, you can do a quick verification:

How to Verify

  1. Open a New App: Open a different app, like your Notes app or a messaging app.
  2. Paste: In a new note or message field, tap and hold in the text area. A "Paste" option should appear. Tap it.
  3. Check: The link you just copied should appear. Double-check that it looks correct and matches your PayPal.Me username.

Now you're all set to share your PayPal link with confidence!
