PayPal presented Paypal Links as a new form of payments between people that simplifies the process of sending and requesting money.

The news was published by ZDNET and signed by Lance Whitney on September 15, 2025 at 6:00 am PT, according to the original article.

Paypal Links is initially available in the US. And, as ZDNET reports, it will expand to the United Kingdom, Italy and other countries later in September.

The company positions the tool as a simpler alternative against services such as Zelle or Cashapp and as a complement to Venmo.

In the official announcement, PayPal indicated that the function integrates daily communications, allowing “your money to follow your conversations”, in the words of Diego Scotti, general manager of the consumption group in PayPal.

How PayPal Links works

To create a link, the user opens the PayPal application in iOS or Android and selects the PayPal link option.

Then the amount to be sent or request is entered, you can add a note or emoji, and the link is copied to share it by text message, mail or direct message.

Paypal Links generates a private link designed for unique use and linked to a specific transaction; When touching it, the other person can accept the money or send the requested amount and get immediate access to the funds.

Both participants must have a PayPal account; If the receiver does not have it, he will receive a notice to create it from the app or the PayPal website, ZDNET details.

The links that are not claimed expire after 10 days; Before the expiration the issuer can send reminders or cancel the payment.

Safety, expiration and privacy

PayPal designed the links to be private and of a single use, with the intention of reducing errors and frauds in payments between acquaintances.

Automatic expiration at 10 days adds a control layer to prevent forgotten links from being active indefinitely.

In addition, the functionality forces the authentication via the app or the PayPal site, which implies that payment flows travel through the company’s already known infrastructure.

ZDNET cites a PayPal spokesman explaining that Paypal Links eliminates steps and allows the transaction to be shared within the conversations where users already talk about money.

In practice, this reduces the need to look for profiles or change platform to complete a pairs payment.

Comparison with Friends and Family and Venmo

PayPal already offered P2P options such as Friends and Family and mechanisms to request money through invoices, links or QR codes.

The key difference, ZDNET points out, is that Paypal Links is expressly of a single use and is integrated directly into the conversations, without having to locate a specific profile or account.

Venmo, owned by PayPal, also allows you to send and request money between contacts, but Paypal Links seeks to further simplify this process by allowing a personalized URL in any chat.

According to PayPal spokesman cited by ZDNET, the new function eliminates steps and accelerates transfer between people who already talk about costs or purchases.

In summary, Friends and Family continues to exist for direct payments, Venmo continues as a social option, and Paypal Links appears as a layer of convenience for specific transactions within conversations.

Cryptocurrencies and international scope

An aspect highlighted by ZDNET is that PayPal will incorporate cryptocurrencies to the link function.

Soon, people in the US can quickly send Bitcoin, Ethereum, Pyusd and other cryptocurrencies to Paypal, Venmo and other compatible digital portfolios, according to the article.

PayPal will also allow selecting the currency by creating a link, which facilitates sending money to recipients in more than 110 countries.

The combination of crypto compatibility and international support aims to expand payment options, both for traditional users and for those who use digital assets.

Diego Scotti emphasized that the tool represents “the next big step” in the evolution of the movement of money between people, highlighting the integration with messages and emails.

Rates, tax reports and other conditions

According to ZDNET, PayPal will not charge rates for transaction in Paypal Links.

In addition, payments through this function will be exempt from 1099-K reports, so users will not receive tax forms for those amounts.

This exemption and the absence of commissions make the function attractive to divide accounts, ask for returns between friends or receive small payments without additional tax procedures.

Although the article does not specify monetary limits or additional details about conversions between coins or change rates, ZDNET presents the function as focused on simplicity and speed.

Users who require fiscal vouchers or formal billing will continue to have other tools within the PayPal ecosystem for those needs.

Practical implications and recommendations

For daily transactions, Paypal Links seems to reduce friction: creating a link and paste it in conversation avoids searches for profiles and app changes.

For international payments, the possibility of choosing currency and sharing a link with people in more than 110 countries facilitates informal cross -border charges.

In payments with cryptocurrencies, integration with wallets and compatibility with BTC, ETH and Pyusd expands the options, although users should confirm their wallets compatibility before sending crypto.

Finally, the absence of commissions and the exemption of 1099-K make PayPal Links a practical option for personal amounts, but those who handle commercial volume must review other solutions that generate adequate tax reports.

ZDNET clarifies that the function will come in stages and that the experience can vary according to country and local policies.

Conclusion

Paypal Links comes as a response to the demand for faster and faster payments between people, integrating conversation, privacy and crypto compatibility.

The combination of single-use links, expiration at 10 days, absence of commissions and exemption from 1099-K points to personal use and between acquaintances.

Its expansion outside the USA during September and the inclusion of cryptocurrencies mark a strategic movement for Paypal in the P2P payments.

As always, users must verify local conditions and compatibility of Wallets before sending digital assets, and considering additional tools for fiscal or commercial needs.
