PayPal added new language to its User Agreement clarifying how business accounts can use the Send Money feature to send payments for goods or services. The updated terms specify that different fees apply depending on whether the recipient has a PayPal account: if the recipient has a PayPal account, the recipient pays commercial transaction fees; if the recipient does not have a PayPal account, the payment is processed as a Bill Pay for Business Accounts transaction and the sender pays applicable Bill Pay fees. This change establishes explicit fee structures for a feature that business accounts may already have been using.
The updated terms clarify fee structures for PayPal business accounts using the Send Money feature to send payments for goods or services. Business account holders now have explicit disclosure that fees vary based on recipient account status: recipients with PayPal accounts will pay commercial transaction fees, while payments to recipients without PayPal accounts will be processed as Bill Pay for Business Accounts transactions with applicable fees charged to the sender. This change provides clarity on cost allocation but does not alter the underlying availability or mechanics of the feature.
→ Review the clarified fee structures to confirm which fee regime applies to your typical payment recipients.
→ Update cost modeling and customer invoicing to reflect the correct fee allocation based on recipient account status.
Clarified that fees depend on recipient PayPal account status, with commercial transaction fees for account holders and Bill Pay for Business Accounts fees for non-account holders.
