Can we send an invoice using the Mobile APP - It seems that the only option available is to "request money"? I want my clients to recieve my invoice formatted with my logo, etc - - I have an invoice formatted via the desktop version. 

 

Thanks!!

Interesting - I can check my account total, can request money and can take a credit card through the APP - but can't send an invoice through email via the APP. 

 

(not logical)

PayPal policies don' have to work by user logic.  I suspect, however, PayPal has very logical security models to determine where various activities can be performed.

Supposedly there is a PayPal mobile business app where you can send invoices but can't find it.

I guess they are referring to PayPal Here.  Could send invoices on that.

PayPal Here generates an invoice at time of payment; it's just a reference to the receipt.  It's a record-keeping invoice, not an invoice to send for payment.

I downloaded PayPal Business APP - it's full of bugs/error messages. I'm totally slammed surprised a company this huge isn't managing/monitoring mobile computing/business activity.

How were you able to download the business app?  I suspect it is only available in certain regions then, no?  Or not available for iPad. Couldn't find it at App Store. Just PayPal Here.  Since it is full of bugs and errors I guess they are hiding it from wider use.

I want to be able to send invoices from my phone for when I'm away from my desk for extended periods of time. Can't beleve the app diesn't allow it. It can't be a security problem as I am allowed to send money, and I do have to authenticate myself. Perhaps PayPal can enlighten us as to why they don't think this is OK?

(Have to try doing it from a browser but don't know if they'll force a mobile version on me.....
