Using PayPal In Stores
PayPal is one of the most common internet payment services on Earth. Tons of websites rely on the company to process customer purchases, and millions of customers value them for their simplicity and ease. However, it can be used in physical stores too.
Though most people don’t realize it, using PayPal in stores is a great way to simplify the checkout process. It also makes it so you can travel without needing to bring your wallet or purse.
All you have to do is go to your PayPal settings, click on payments, click select or change next to “in-store purchases.” Select your desired payment method and choose confirm.
You can also switch your in-store payment method if you so wish. To do so, tap wallet, then hit in-person & QR code purchases. Then select payment method, go with the one you want, and tap done.
Many big brands accept PayPal in their stores, including Best Buy, Bed Bath & Beyond, Dell, Gamestop, and Ikea. That list includes Walmart as well. The giant doesn’t just offer the service, they have direct integration that makes using it with them even easier.
How to Pay at Walmart with Paypal
Many Walmart customers might be aware they can use PayPal at the store, but actually doing so is something else entirely. It’s a process, but one that only has a few simple steps.
If you want to use the tech payment system at Walmart, you can do so in a couple of different ways. First, you can use your PayPal Cash Card or Cashback Mastercard at any register. That works at self checkout, and it works online at Walmart.com.
If you want to go contactless in a different way, you’re also able to add your PayPal account to your Walmart Wallet. That enables you to pay for your in-store purchases through your smart phone rather than with a card.
Of course, you can shop online as well. Walmart’s website takes PayPal, which means anything you buy through them online you can checkout with PayPal. That’s true of PayPal credit, their buy now, as well as the pay later program. You can use your standard account too.
In that way, you have a lot of options. You can use your digital wallet to go completely contactless, you can use a card, or you can stay at home and stay on your computer. The choice is completely up to you.
Other Walmart Payment Methods
Using PayPal at Walmart is a great way to seamlessly checkout. However, it’s far from the only way to purchase items from Walmart. Credit and debit cards work just as well.
Walmart takes just about every brand on the market, which makes it simple.That includes American Express, Discover/Novus, and Mastercard or other debit cards with the MasterCard logo. No matter what card you prefer, you’re going to have success.
The megastore also accepts both checks and money orders. However, if you want to place such an order you have to call customer service to set it up. All checks have to be in USD currency and drawn from a US bank. Foreign checks are not accepted.
That’s a good option for some, but it can also be an involved process. The extra steps are another reason why so many customers prefer PayPal. It makes everything much more streamlined, even when checking out in store.
