This page covers the three steps to send one fax. You do not need an account.

​
What you need

  • The document to fax (PDF, DOC, DOCX, TIF, JPEG, PNG, or Markdown), or a short message for a cover page
  • The destination fax number, including the area code
  • An email address for the confirmation
  • A card or PayPal for payment

​

  1. Under Destination fax, select the country flag and enter the number with its area code.
  2. Under Your email, enter the address for the confirmation.
  3. Optionally, select Attach a cover page and fill in its fields.

Pay and send

Click Continue to Payment, enter your payment details, and click Pay … & Send Fax.Sending starts after payment. Your card is not charged at this point: a hold is placed for the amount. The charge is made only if the fax is delivered. See Pricing & Payment.

​
After you pay

The confirmation page shows the status and updates by itself:
  • Sending: the fax is being sent. The page shows the usual time for your page count.
  • Delivered: the fax was delivered.
  • Not delivered: the fax could not be delivered. You are not charged.
If no final result has come in after the usual time, the page shows No final result yet. You are charged only if delivery is confirmed.You can close the tab. The result also comes by email.
When the fax finishes, you get an email with the result. A delivered fax email includes the date and time, the pages sent, the receiving machine’s ID (CSID), and a PDF copy of the fax that was sent.
PayPerFax makes up to 3 attempts, a few minutes apart. If all attempts fail, the hold on your card is released and you get an email with the reason. To send again, use the resubmit link on the confirmation page or in the email. See Resending a fax.
