Step 2: Navigate to Payment Methods
Once the app is open, look for an option that usually says something like "Payment methods," "Wallet," or your profile icon. It's often located at the bottom of the screen or in a menu. Tap on it.
Adding a New Payment Method
Within the "Payment methods" or "Wallet" section, you'll likely see a button or option to "Add a payment method" or a plus (+) icon. Go ahead and tap that.
Step 3: Select PayPal
You'll be presented with a list of different payment options you can add. Scroll through the list until you find PayPal. Tap on the PayPal option.
Tip: Don’t just glance — focus.
Step 4: Link Your PayPal Account
This is where the magic happens! Google Wallet will now redirect you to a secure PayPal page. Here, you'll need to log in to your PayPal account using your email address and password.
Granting Permissions
After you've logged in, PayPal will ask you to grant Google Wallet permission to access certain information and to make payments using your PayPal account. Carefully review the permissions and then click "Agree" or "Grant Permission" to proceed.
Step 5: Confirmation
Once you've granted permission, you should be redirected back to the Google Wallet app. You should now see PayPal listed as one of your payment methods. Congratulations, you've successfully linked your PayPal account!
Setting as Preferred (Optional)
If you want PayPal to be your go-to payment method within Google Wallet, you might have the option to set it as your preferred payment method. Look for a setting or option next to your PayPal account within Google Wallet to do this.
Tip: Reading in short bursts can keep focus high.
Step 6: Using PayPal with Google Wallet
Now that PayPal is linked, you can use it to make payments wherever Google Wallet is accepted. When you're making a purchase, simply select PayPal as your payment method if it's not already the default.
