Alright, let's get your PayPal linked to your Uber account! It's a pretty straightforward process, and once it's done, paying for your rides and Uber Eats orders will be a breeze.
Ready to ditch the card swiping and streamline your payments? Let's dive in!
Step 1: Open Your Uber App and Navigate to Your Account Settings
First things first, grab your phone and open the Uber app. You know the one – the black icon with the white "U." Once you're in, you'll need to head over to your account settings. This is usually found by tapping your profile picture or an account icon located in one of the corners of the app (often the top left).
Accessing the Payment Section
After tapping your profile, you'll see a menu with various options. Look for something along the lines of "Wallet," "Payment," or "Payment Methods." Tap on this option. This is where you manage all the ways you pay for your Uber services.

Step 2: Adding PayPal as a Payment Method
Now that you're in the payment section, you'll likely see a list of any payment methods you've already added. To add a new one, look for a button or link that says something like "Add Payment Method," a "+" icon, or "Add Funds." Tap on this.
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.
Selecting PayPal
A list of different payment options will probably appear. You should see the PayPal logo as one of the choices. Tap on the PayPal option.
Step 3: Linking Your PayPal Account
Tapping the PayPal option will redirect you to a secure PayPal login page.
Logging into PayPal
Here, you'll need to enter your PayPal email address and password. Make sure you're entering the correct credentials for the PayPal account you want to link to Uber.
Granting Uber Permission
Once you've entered your login details, PayPal will likely ask you to grant Uber permission to access your account and process payments. Carefully review the permissions being requested and then click "Agree," "Authorize," or a similar button to proceed.
QuickTip: Focus on what feels most relevant.
Step 4: Confirming the Link and Setting as Default (Optional)
After you've authorized the connection, you should be redirected back to the Uber app. You should now see PayPal listed as one of your payment methods.
Setting PayPal as Your Default Payment
If you want PayPal to be your primary payment method for all Uber services, you can usually set it as the default. Look for an option next to the PayPal entry that says "Set as Default" or a similar phrase. Tapping this will make PayPal your go-to payment option.
Step 5: Enjoy Seamless Payments!
Congratulations! You've successfully linked your PayPal account to Uber. Now, whenever you request a ride or place an Uber Eats order, you'll have the convenience of paying directly through your PayPal balance or linked funding sources.
