How it works
Customer chooses PayPal
Turn on PayPal in a couple of clicks in your Paddle Dashboard. Paddle automatically presents PayPal as a payment method for customers paying in a supported country and currency.

Paddle Checkout presents a PayPal login screen. Customers sign in to their account, or they can create a new one.
Customer selects payment method
Once logged in, customers choose a saved payment method that they'd like to use to pay. PayPal supports cards, bank accounts, and other payment methods.
Customers can choose to pay with their PayPal balance, but must also select a backup payment method.
