   2. Click Profile at the top of the page
   3. Click the Finance tab
   4. From the Payment Method drop down, choose your preferred option (PayPal email, PayPal phone, or Venmo phone)*
   5. Enter the needed information in the box to the right of Payment Method (your phone number or email)
   6. Click Update
   7. Upload your form W9: from your Finance tab, look at the bottom right corner of your screen and click on the Services:Paperwork-Upload link (screenshot below).
