When you're running a small business, every penny counts.
To help, we've created a PayPal fees calculator so you know how much your PayPal transactions are costing you in fees. The calculator lets you enter the amount you want to invoice, and then calculates the fee for you instantly - so you can see exactly what percentage of your money is going to PayPal.
Not sure how this can help you? Let's start with the basics.
So you've just finished a project for someone, or you've come to an agreement on the goods you're selling. They've asked you to invoice them through PayPal. You're excited that your hard work is finally going to be paid off! But wait a minute, there's an extra fee?
PayPal is a great payment platform that allows you to be paid via credit card, debit card, or bank account. It also lets businesses accept payments in a number of different currencies, which is great if you have clients over the world.
While a PayPal account isn't required, it can be easier for your clients to pay you if you accept PayPal payments. After all, PayPal has more than 325 million active accounts worldwide, and your client might already have one! Since they're already familiar with PayPal, they are more likely to have no issues about safety than if you bill their credit card directly.
You can even easily integrate your PayPal account with many existing shopping cart systems, or accounting and invoicing solutions like InvoiceBerry.
It's also easy to set up and use, whether as a consumer or a business. While personal transfers are free, businesses accepting payments are subject to transaction fees.
