What payment methods can I use to pay an invoice?

PayPal is working to offer your favorite payment methods in one checkout experience. When you pay an invoice, you’ll have the option to use payment methods available in your PayPal Wallet or additional payment methods. Not all payment methods are available in every market. You’ll see the options available to you during checkout.

Within your PayPal Wallet, you can use the following payment methods:

  • Bank accounts
  • Credit and Debit Cards
  • PayPal Balance

Payment methods within your PayPal wallet may be eligible for PayPal's Buyer Protection Program.  

Payment methods outside of the PayPal Wallet include:

  • Apple Pay
  • Credit and Debit Cards 

If you have an issue with the payment and used a payment method outside of the PayPal Wallet, please work directly with the merchant or contact your payment method for assistance.


Why is my payment method not available?

Sorry to hear your payment method isn’t available for your current purchase. It could be due to our security system not allowing the payment, or the payment method being unavailable in your region. We always look to improve the checkout experience and hope to offer that payment method to you in the future.
