AFIWAI – I Pay You – Payment Links for PayPal.Me

Description

I Pay You helps WordPress site owners create simple PayPal.Me payment requests without API keys, a shopping cart, or a heavy checkout system.

Add a responsive payment form anywhere with a shortcode, let visitors enter an amount, and generate a direct PayPal.Me link in the currency you choose.

Why use I Pay You?

• Fast setup — save a PayPal.Me username once and start publishing payment links.
• Two flexible shortcodes — use a visitor-entered amount form or a direct preset payment link.
• Multi-currency requests — EUR, USD, GBP, CAD, AUD, CHF, and JPY are included.
• Responsive and accessible — clean form controls, keyboard focus states, and live result feedback.
• Lightweight — no payment API, no database tables, no external JavaScript libraries, and no tracking.
• Privacy-conscious — the plugin does not contact PayPal before a visitor opens a payment link.
• Backward compatible — the original [ipayou_paypalme_link] and [ipayou_generate_paypalme_link] shortcodes remain supported.
• Page-builder friendly — works anywhere WordPress shortcodes are rendered, including many widget and builder areas.

The plugin does not load content from AFIWAI Hub or send usage data there. The site is contacted only if you choose to open the link.

External services

I Pay You creates links to PayPal.Me, a third-party payment-link service operated by PayPal.

The plugin does not use the PayPal API and does not transmit visitor data to PayPal in the background. A visitor connects to PayPal only after choosing to open a generated PayPal.Me payment link.
