How To Add Paypal To Apple Pay: Quick & Easy Guide

If you are reading this, you are probably wondering whether you can add PayPal to Apple Pay. Adding PayPal to Apple Pay can be a convenient way to make purchases using your iPhone. With this feature, you can link your PayPal account to your Apple Pay and use it to make contactless payments at participating merchants

Unfortunately, Apple Pay and PayPal do not get along well. In fact, you can’t add PayPal as an Apple Pay payment method. But that does not mean you can’t use PayPal with Apple.

We will show you how to add PayPal to your iCloud and how to update Apple Pay payment methods. Once you’ve successfully linked your PayPal account to Apple Pay, you’ll be able to use it to make purchases at any merchant that accepts Apple Pay. This can be a convenient way to pay for goods and services without the need to carry cash or a physical credit card.

Keep in mind that some merchants may have a transaction limit for contactless payments, so you may need to enter a PIN or provide a signature for larger purchases.

Apple Pay Integration

Apple Pay is a mobile payment and digital wallet service provided by Apple Inc. Buyers can use Apple Pay to make payments on the web using the Safari web browser or an iOS device.

Sellers can also use Apple Pay to sell:

1. Physical goods, such as clothes and electronics.
2. Digital goods, such as software.
3. intangible professional services, such as concerts or gym memberships.

How it works

1. The Apple Pay button shows up on your website when a customer uses the Safari web browser or an iOS device.
2. The payer taps or clicks on the Apple Pay button.
3. Your website shows the payer a payment sheet.
4. The payer confirms the purchase details, such as the shipping address and payment method.
5. The payer authorizes the purchase on the payment sheet.

The payment sheet helps streamline the checkout process by showing the customer the information needed to make the payment.

Payment sheets can show the user’s name, address, shipping information, and email address. You can customize this payment sheet to include the user details and payment information you need for your Apple Pay integration.
