How to Send a PayPal Receipt

1. Create a merchant account with PayPal. This will generally require you to register and confirm a business email address, your business contact information, and a bank account to and from which you will transfer funds. PayPal will make two small deposits in your bank account, the amounts of which you will confirm on their site, in order to confirm your bank account.
2. Place a PayPal banner or shopping cart on your website. PayPal will automatically configure the information that is to be entered by your customers, as well as the information they will see regarding your company. Personalize what the receipt PayPal sends to the customers will look like by navigating to 'Account Overview,' then 'Profile' and click 'Custom Payment Pages' under 'Selling Preferences.'
3. Wait for PayPal to send notification that a purchase has been made through your Web site. Any notification sent to you regarding a purchase will automatically be duplicated to the buyer of the product or services. Save your copy of the confirmation in case the buyer loses or deletes their receipt and asks for another.
4. Log into PayPal and look at your transaction history to see if any buyers want an additional receipt. Locate the specific transaction and email a copy of this information to the buyer. PayPal keeps records for all transactions made, so a receipt can be found even if it's an older purchase.
