How Lottay works with PayPal

To use Lottay you and the recipient don't need to have a PayPal account in advance. PayPal allows you to send money instantly to someone else in the world safely and securely. As the gift giver when you send your gift, PayPal will tell the recipient that the money is waiting for them.

Once your recipient claims the money they can spend it on anything they like. So when you send them the gift it's like they instantly have the money. If the money is not claimed for some reason it will be returned to you by PayPal so it's never lost, unlike a gift card.

Q: If this is free, how does Lottay make money?

Lottay is completely free for our users. We try to help match you with retailers who carry your gift. If we find a match, the retailers pay us.

Q: How does my recipient get the money?

PayPal makes the money available to your recipient whether or not they have a PayPal account. Unlike a gift card this money is never lost and will be returned to you if it remains uncollected.

Q: Do I need a PayPal account?

Not to get started. If you don't have one you'll create one in the process of sending a gift. All you need is a credit card. This allows us to guarantee that you transaction is safe, secure, and will get delivered with PayPal.

Q: Does the recipient need a PayPal account?

They do not need to have a PayPal account in advance. However, because the money is sent through PayPal they will need to create one. If they choose not to create a PayPal account, the money will be returned to you through PayPal.

You can wish for anything with Lottay. Wish for what you really want – yoga lessons, lunch at your favorite restaurant, an iPhone, whatever! Share your wishes with friends and family – for your birthday, the holidays, just because! Your friends and family can give you money toward your gift. (It's safe: We're partners with PayPal!)
