Getting started for newbies - how to pay the SCI paper publication fee through Paypal and UnionPay?

I recently won an SCI paper, and the magazine requires payment of page fees through PayPal, but it does not provide other alternative methods (such as bank wire transfer, etc.). I had never used PayPal before, and at first I thought I could only pay with PayPal through a credit card, and I was confused at the time. The magazine did not send me an invoice before, so I was worried that I would not be able to get the reimbursement voucher through PayPal online payment. Later, by browsing Dingxiangyuan’s posts, I accidentally discovered that PayPal now also supports binding UnionPay cards for payment. And through further understanding, I found that some comrades only asked the magazine for reimbursement vouchers after paying, so I began to explore ways to use PayPal to pay SCI paper page fees.

Using PayPal to pay SCI paper publication fees is really fast! It only took me about half an hour from registration to payment of the paper page fee. If you don’t include the time spent registering a PayPal account, it was very fast and saved the trouble of going to the bank to transfer money. Having said so much, I just want to share my experience with you first, and then I will get to the point.

1. How to register for PayPal?

Search for PayPal in the browser search box, click on PayPal’s official website, and then jump to the following page (; mpch=ad plx=27736-206047-40333-0)

Fill in the registration information as required, then click Agree and create an account. Then go to your email to verify your PayPal account (enter the PayPal password you set during registration). The PayPal registration is half complete here.

The next step is to bind a bank card. PayPal supports binding credit cards, and you can also bind UnionPay cards (I use China Construction Bank). After binding the bank card as required, PayPal registration will be successful. (Because it is a Chinese registration interface, the binding steps are also very simple, so I won’t go into details here).

2. How to use PayPal to pay page fees to magazines

This part is the key to the issue that everyone is concerned about.

The payment steps are summarized as follows: 1): Enter your PayPal account, specify the specific remittance amount, and provide the email account provided by the publisher to PayPal. 2): PayPal then sends an email to the publisher notifying them of the pending payment. 3): After the publisher agrees to accept it, the money designated by the payer will be transferred to the payee.

Now I will take my article payment as an example to demonstrate the payment process:

My article magazine sent a payment link through the corresponding author’s email address, as shown in the screenshot below (only part of the email content )

Click on the payment link, and the following picture content will appear:

Enter the number of your article in the Submission ID, click GotoPayPal in the lower left corner, and then you will jump directly to PayPal login Interface, because the magazine link has already specified the payee, payee's email address and amount of payment, so after logging in, you only need to confirm the payment, and the money will be directly deducted from your bound UnionPay account (PayPal will automatically help you Convert RMB to USD).

Because there was no invoice (invoice, payment voucher, etc.) in the email notifying the magazine to pay the page fee, so after the payment was successful, I wrote an email to the magazine, requesting the magazine to notify me in a letter after receiving the page fee. And issue a reimbursement voucher (electronic invoice, receipt, etc./invoice) to the author. After the payment was completed, I received a letter from the magazine the next day saying that the page fee had been received and the invoice was attached.
