Why Venmo has no payment link

Venmo doesn't make a payment link for a product or price. A Venmo business profile, linked to your personal account, takes payments from its QR code, Tap to Pay or a Venmo button at checkout.

To take Venmo online, make a PayPal payment link: PayPal shows Venmo as a way to pay to buyers in the US. Buyers without Venmo can still pay that link by card.

How to get paid with Venmo instead

  1. Set up a Venmo business profile from your personal Venmo account.
  2. For sales in person, show the profile's QR code, or take cards with Tap to Pay.
  3. To sell online, make a PayPal payment link from a PayPal business account; buyers can choose Venmo there.
  4. Put the PayPal link behind the buy button on a sales page.
Replo docs: ask Replo to create the product with the prompt 'Use this PayPal link as its external checkout', and Replo points its Buy Now button at PayPal checkout

Paste the PayPal link into Replo's chat, and every Buy Now button on the page opens it.

What getting paid with Venmo costs

A business profile pays less than goods and services to a personal account. Online, PayPal's rate applies.

What Venmo can't do for a sale

  • No payment link for a product
  • Buyers need a Venmo account
  • US buyers only
  • Business profile ties to you
  • Online Venmo goes through PayPal

When a link alone isn't enough

Visitors want to know what they get before paying. Replo builds that page and points its buttons at your link.

Replo docs, How It Works: customer lands on your Replo page, clicks Buy Now, the button redirects to your external checkout link, and the customer pays there

The Replo page makes the case; its Buy Now button sends the buyer to your payment link to pay.
