Micropayments

Subject to application and pre-approval by PayPal, you may upgrade an existing account to receive the Micropayment rate. Micropayment rates can be ideal as an alternative to standard commercial transaction rates for businesses that process small payments. If you upgrade to the Micropayment rate, this rate will apply to all commercial transaction payments received into your PayPal account. Please contact us to apply for the Micropayment rate.
