No-Code Checkout: Get paid with no website and no coding.

Getting paid for what you do is critical, so it shouldn’t be difficult. No-code payment solutions – like PayPal No-Code Checkout – offer an easy solution by providing a simple, encrypted payment gateway — with no tech expertise required.

No-code payment solutions help you get paid anytime, virtually anywhere and across multiple sales channels.

Because little to no coding knowledge is needed, you can get set up quickly and easily – taking days or weeks to implement online payment processing is in the past.

Let’s look at each of these easy, no-code ways to get paid.

What is a Payment Link?

The simplest solution of all, a Payment Link is simply a URL which you can copy and add as a hyperlink or send directly to your customer in an email, WhatsApp, text, social media or other messenger service.

When your customer clicks on the link, they are taken to a secure checkout showing your product description, amount, currency and payment options. You can customise the payment page with your logo, add additional notes for the customer to see along with itemised shipping and tax charges if applicable.

Payment Links are perfect when you want to be paid quickly and across the globe.

What is a PayPal QR code?

QR codes are an alternative method for making digital payments and have become popular as an alternative for cash. They are offered everywhere increasingly and can be an ideal solution for both online and in-person payments.

A QR code enables direct and contactless payment, whether you print it out for in-person sales at events or pop-up stores or send it by email or text.

When your customer scans the QR code with their smartphone, they are taken to a secure checkout showing your product description, notes, shipping, tax and total price along with payment options.

What is PayPal Button code?

If you have a website, use PayPal No-Code Checkout to generate a code snippet that you can paste onto your site, next your product for easy checkout.

The code creates a customisable checkout button on your web page. When a customer clicks the button, they’re taken to a secure, hosted checkout page with product details and payment options and a field to provide a shipping address.

Create and save buttons for each of your products and update them easily if details or prices change.

PayPal Button code can be a great solution if you sell a range of physical goods online or if you provide remote services.

Help customers pay the way they prefer

No-code solutions like PayPal No-Code Checkout provide a fast, simple and secure way to accept different payment methods such as credit or debit card, Apple Pay¹ or PayPal from anywhere in the world.

With No-Code Checkout, you can quickly generate a QR code, a payment link or simple copy/paste code to place a payment button on your site. Each of these links takes your customer to a secure, end-to-end encrypted, payment page where they can pay in over 200 markets with 22 currencies, and they don’t even need a PayPal account.

Selling online around the world

Whether you sell on social media or have your own small business website without a payment setup, No-Code Checkout gives you global reach, quickly, easily and securely. Expand your market reach without worrying about the complexities of international payment options:currency conversion, compliance with local regulations, or integration of region-specific payment methods.

Create a Payment Link and add it to your social posts or send it by email, text or messenger. When your customer clicks the link they are taken to a dedicated and secure, PayPal-hosted checkout page that shows what they’ve purchased and how to pay. The page can even collect a shipping address for you.

If you have a website, a few lines of simple copy/paste code places a customisable checkout button on your page, next to your product, for a seamless and user-friendly checkout experience. This is ideal for growing ecommerce business owners who are looking for a quick solution without investing time and development resources in a complex payment integration.

Providing personal and professional services

If you’re a personal trainer, a life coach, a developer, consultant or web designer, you can generate a payment link or QR code to add to emails and invoices or send by text or messenger chat. When your customer clicks on the link it will take them to your customised checkout page where they can pay the prepopulated amount by card, Apple Pay or PayPal.

Alternatively, you can create and save a QR code on your phone. When your job is done, simply present the QR code for your client to scan with their phone. Your personalised checkout page can show either a pre-set job price or a field for them to enter the agreed amount.

Selling at events, pop-ups and temporary locations

As a jeweller, an artisan, or a festival food-truck caterer, you can use QR codes for quick and easy, contactless payments. You don’t even need a card reader or a point-of-sale terminal.

By generating a QR code and printing it on a price tag or price list, you can provide customers with a simple, contactless way to pay with their phone. You could have separate QR codes for every product or a generic one that allows you and your customer to enter the agreed total price.

Creating No-Code Checkout solutions is simple. Here’s a step-by-step guide.

• Log in to your PayPal business account and select No-Code Checkout.

• Single product or service – for a single, set-price item
• Variable product or service – to let customers choose from a list of options
• Customer defined – to let customers pay what they want; a great option for letting them pay multiple invoices or pay a tip.
• Next, fill in the product or service details: a text description, optional product ID, currency, price and list of options (if you chose variable).
• You tick whether you wish to collect a delivery address and add delivery fee, tax and any notes for the customer. You can also customise a Thank You page for the customer to see once they’ve paid.
• Throughout the process you see a preview of the payment page as you complete the options.
• When you have completed all the details, go to the top right and click Create It.
• Your payment links and button code appear on the next screen.
• On the first tab is text-based payment link
• The second tab contains the QR code for you to download
• The next two tabs contain code for two versions of the checkout button for you to copy and then paste into your web page.
• Your links and buttons are saved automatically so you can easily edit them and/or re-use them in the future.
• Tip: To be sure you know when you have received a payment, make sure you’ve selected this option under Notifications in your Account Settings
