[Python] How to add the new / commands in discord and fix error

I'm creating a discord bot to provide my paypal email and the amount, the idea was if I put /paypal amount: amount here it will make an embed with the information. And it worked.

But I can't figure out how to add the new / commands thing and it also only listens to my commands when I mention the bot. Other than that it wont reply to the message.

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

TOKEN = ''

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.typing = False
intents.presences = False

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
print(f'Bot is ready. Logged in as {bot.user.name}')

@bot.command()
async def paypal(ctx, amount: float):
total_amount = amount + (amount * 0.2)
embed = discord.Embed(title='Payment', color=discord.Color.blue())
embed.add_field(name='Note', value='Send the amount to myemail@gmail.com as Friends and Family in USD (Do NOT add a note).', inline=True)
embed.add_field(name='PayPal Email', value='My email', inline=False)
embed.add_field(name='Amount', value=f'${total_amount}', inline=False)
embed.set_thumbnail(url='https://www.paypalobjects.com/webstatic/mktg/logo/pp_cc_mark_37x23.jpg')

await ctx.send(embed=embed)

bot.run(TOKEN)


I tried it but I couldn't do it - I would appreciate any help!
