PayPal.Me link checker

A PayPal.Me link is the simplest way to get paid, and it can't be changed once you create it. This PayPal.Me checker shows whether paypal.me/yourname is still free before you claim it.

Links are 3 to 20 characters, letters and numbers only, with no spaces or symbols. Note that PayPal reserves some names, including brand and trademark terms, and those look the same as a free link from the outside.

Creators share payment links in bios and streams, so it should match the handle people already know you by. Every search here checks your name across the major platforms and domains too.

Tips for a PayPal.Me link

  • It's permanent, so check before you claim.
  • Match your Instagram, TikTok or Twitch handle.
  • Letters and numbers only: no symbols allowed.
  • Keep it short so it's easy to type.
  • Avoid brand terms you don't own.

A PayPal.Me link is permanent

Unlike most handles, you can't rename a PayPal.Me link once it's created. Check that the name you want is free, then claim it in your PayPal account. If it's gone, a short variation like your name plus your craft usually works.

Creators: keep your payment link recognisable

Your payment link is shared in bios, streams and invoices, so it should look like you. A link that matches your Instagram, TikTok or Twitch handle reassures people that they're paying the right person.

Own the name everywhere, not just on PayPal.Me

A handle only works inside one app. The domain is the part you keep — it carries your site, your email and your link in bio even if you move platforms. Names that are free on PayPal.Me today are usually free as a .com too, and that stops being true fast.
