PayPal is a secure and easy way to send money from one person to another that is available to anyone with an email address. Recipients can connect their PayPal account to their bank account, transfer their balance or just make payments from their PayPal account. Your special cash gift account with PayPal is as good as having cash!
Your guests will be able to easily contribute money to your Cash Gift Fund online using a credit card or their PayPal account.
You do not need to have a PayPal account to set up your Cash Gift Fund. You can open one up at any time, but you must open a PayPal account once you have received your first contribution. PayPal will send you a notice to inform you that a contribution has been received and you can sign up with PayPal then.
Absolutely. However, you will need to make sure that the email associated with your current
PayPal account is linked properly in our system if it is not the same email address that you use when opening your gift registry.
