It appears there might be a misunderstanding regarding PayPal's services in Pakistan. As of my last update, PayPal does not offer its full range of services for receiving payments within Pakistan. While Pakistani users might be able to send payments in some limited capacities, they cannot typically receive funds or hold a balance in a PayPal account registered in Pakistan.
Therefore, a step-by-step guide on "how to log in to a PayPal account in Pakistan" that implies full functionality might be misleading. However, I can provide information on accessing a PayPal account if you happen to have one registered in another country where receiving payments is supported, or if you are trying to send payments from Pakistan (though this functionality can be limited and might require linking to a credit/debit card).
Let's proceed with the assumption that you either have a PayPal account registered outside of Pakistan or are attempting to send a payment.
QuickTip: Skim fast, then return for detail.

| How To Login Paypal Account In Pakistan |
Step 1: Open Your Web Browser or Mobile App
This is the very first step, no matter how you intend to access PayPal.
QuickTip: If you skimmed, go back for detail.
- On your Computer: Open your preferred web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). Ensure you have a stable internet connection.
- On your Mobile Device: Locate the PayPal mobile application on your smartphone or tablet and tap on its icon to open it. If you don't have the app, you can download it from your device's app store (though its functionality in Pakistan might be limited).
Step 2: Navigate to the PayPal Login Page
Once your browser or app is open, you need to find the login section.
2.1: Using a Web Browser
- In the address bar of your web browser, type in the official PayPal website address: ***
www.paypal.com - Once the website loads, look for a "Log In" or "Sign In" button. This is usually located in the top right corner of the page. Click on this button.
2.2: Using the Mobile App
- When you open the PayPal mobile app, you will typically be presented with a login screen directly. Look for fields to enter your email address or mobile number and your password.
Step 3: Enter Your Login Credentials
This is where you'll provide the information PayPal uses to identify and grant you access to your account.
Reminder: Take a short break if the post feels long.

3.1: Email Address or Mobile Number
- In the designated field, carefully type the email address or mobile phone number that you used when you initially signed up for your PayPal account. Double-check for any typos to avoid login errors.
3.2: Password
- In the password field, enter your PayPal account password. Passwords are case-sensitive, so ensure that you are using the correct capitalization.
- Important Security Tip: Be cautious when entering your password, especially on public or shared computers. Avoid saving your password on such devices.
Step 4: Click the "Log In" or "Sign In" Button
After entering your email/phone number and password, you will see a button to proceed with the login.
- On the Website: Click the "Log In" button.
- On the Mobile App: Tap the "Log In" or "Sign In" button on the screen.
Step 5: Potential Security Checks (Two-Factor Authentication)
For enhanced security, PayPal often employs two-factor authentication (2FA). If you have enabled this feature, you might encounter an additional step after clicking the login button.
QuickTip: Skim the intro, then dive deeper.
- Verification Code: PayPal might send a verification code to your registered mobile phone number via SMS or to an authenticator app linked to your account.
- Enter the Code: If prompted, enter the received verification code in the designated field on the login screen. This adds an extra layer of security by ensuring that only you can access your account, even if someone else knows your password.
- Push Notification: In some cases, if you are using the mobile app, PayPal might send a push notification to your registered device asking you to approve the login attempt. Follow the on-screen instructions to verify your identity.
Step 6: Account Dashboard Access
Once you have successfully passed all the login steps and any security checks, you will be redirected to your PayPal account dashboard.
- Overview: This dashboard provides a summary of your account activity, including your balance (if applicable in your region), recent transactions, and any important notifications.
- Navigation: From the dashboard, you can typically navigate to different sections of your account, such as sending payments, viewing your transaction history, managing your linked cards and bank accounts (if supported in your region), and adjusting your account settings.
Important Note for Users in Pakistan: As mentioned earlier, if your PayPal account is registered in Pakistan, you will likely have very limited functionality, primarily the ability to send payments in some cases. You will probably not be able to receive funds or see a balance. The features and options available on your dashboard might be significantly restricted compared to accounts registered in countries with full PayPal support.
