Payment options

Shoppers can choose to top up their PayPal wallet or directly link their credit or debit cards, or link their bank account to their PayPal wallet (PayPal does not require a balance to pay).

PayPal supports major cards such as VISA, MasterCard, Discover and American Express and lets shoppers pay without revealing their card details online. Shoppers can also use alternative payment methods (APMs) and bank transfers.

There is also direct funding, where there is no stored cash in the PayPal wallet. Instead the funds are directly charged to the underlying payment method.
