What is PayPal Credit and where can I use it?

PayPal Credit is an open end (revolving) credit card account that provides a reusable credit line built into your account with PayPal. It gives you the flexibility to pay for your purchases later.

You can use PayPal Credit just about anywhere PayPal is accepted online. Simply use PayPal to check out, then select PayPal Credit as your payment method or apply for it on the spot.

You can learn more about the offer details and apply for PayPal Credit from the PayPal website. We’ll process your application and let you know immediately if we approve it. If approved, we’ll open your PayPal Credit account and automatically link it to your PayPal account.
