Welcome to PayPal.
A world of countless possibilities.

How to use PayPal

Getting started...

You’ve opened a PayPal account. Now simply add your card and start shopping.

Payments made simple

Choose PayPal at checkout and simply enter just your email address and password. No need to re-enter your card details.

Unlimited shopping

Shop to your heart’s content here, there and everywhere. PayPal is accepted by millions of online businesses. Just look for our logo.

Stay in control

You don’t need a balance to shop with PayPal. All you need is a card added to your PayPal account.

Relax, our Buyer Protection has you covered.

When you shop online with PayPal, our Buyer Protection covers all your eligible transactions. So if that purchase doesn’t match the seller’s description or doesn’t arrive, you can get a full refund – including shipping costs. And you’re covered for more than ever before – even for travel, digital downloads and concert tickets.
