How paypal.me Links Encode Money — Under the Hood
The paypal.me URL scheme appends /amountcurrency to the username — https://paypal.me/user/25usd — parsed by PayPal's redirect service into a pre-filled checkout session. Because the amount lives in the URL, anyone can verify the price before paying, and the final authorization always happens on paypal.com, keeping card data out of your link.
