can the customer pay me via paypal website or do they have to go through my website?

Can I setup a paypal account for customer use if I don’t have a business website? Or another way of asking is...can the customer pay me via paypal website or do they have to go through my website?

For example with Venmo they can search you by name and pay you. Is the same method avail with paypal website or app only, or both/neither??

thanks! 

If you integrate PayPal Standard payment field into your form, customer will be prompted to make payment via PayPal website itself.

i.e. the form will take the customer to PayPal to make payment. Once payment is done, automatically form will be submitted.
