How to Pay an Invoice with PayPal

Introduction

If you’re here and reading about how to pay an invoice with PayPal, you probably already know what an invoice is. But just in case you’re just getting started: an invoice is a bill for services you’ve had performed for you.

PayPal is a financial tech company that allows you to pay businesses and individuals electronically with either a bank account, debit or credit card, or a balance you load into your PayPal account. PayPal acts as a middleman between you and the business or individual you are conducting business. You and the other party have a little extra layer of protection if something with your transaction goes wrong. It’s also much manageable than checks or money transfers between institutions, which is why PayPal is an excellent option for you to use to pay your invoice!
