PayPal is a popular online payment gateway worldwide, and many websites now allow online payments via PayPal accounts for online purchases. PayPal acts as an intermediary, linking funds to your bank accounts, credit cards, debit cards, etc., to facilitate transactions.
Additionally, you can also use your PayPal account to receive/send money from individuals and companies in other countries. It's especially useful for receiving payments when participating in Affiliate Marketing, as most Affiliate networks accept PayPal payments. After receiving the money, you can easily withdraw it to your bank account in Vietnam.
* Benefits of having a PayPal account
- High level of security, no risk of information leakage like when using Visa/Mastercard.
- Fast, secure, and widely available payment methods worldwide.
- You can use the Chargeback function to get your money back if you are scammed online.
- You are allowed a refund of up to 60 days if you are not satisfied with the service when paying with PayPal.
- Companies worldwide now require you to verify your Visa/Mastercard information from Vietnam, so you have to prove it by sending photos of your card back and forth, which is very time-consuming. However, if you use PayPal for transactions, you will never encounter that problem.
* Requirements for registering a PayPal account
- You need an international Visa or Mastercard payment card from a bank. This Visa/MasterCard will be used to verify your account and link it to your PayPal account.
If you don't already have a Visa/Mastercard, or don't know how to get one, TipsMake's guide on how to get a Visa card in Vietnam will be helpful.
- You need an active email account. With PayPal, your email address will be the account you use for receiving and making online payments. Therefore, you should use a custom domain email address, or if using a free email address (e.g., Gmail), you should enable two-factor authentication to prevent hacking.
Note: In addition to using physical Visa/MasterCard cards, you can also register and link your PayPal account to a virtual Visa/MasterCard. However, this type of card is not very common and only a few banks issue them. You should consider this before using it.
