Hey there! Ever found yourself scrolling through the delicious options on Just Eat, your stomach rumbling, only to realize you're not quite sure how to pay with your trusty PayPal account? Well, you've landed in the right place! Let's dive right in and get you one step closer to that tasty takeaway.
Step 1: Getting Started on Just Eat
Have you already got the Just Eat app installed on your phone or are you browsing their website on your computer? Go ahead and open it up or head over to the Just Eat website. Take a moment to feast your eyes on all the mouth-watering possibilities – from that spicy curry you've been craving to that cheesy pizza calling your name.
Once you've decided what culinary delight you're in the mood for, go ahead and add it to your basket. Don't forget those extra sides or that decadent dessert!
Step 2: Proceeding to Checkout
Alright, basket looking nice and full? Great! Now, look for the button that says something like ***"Go to Basket"***, ***"View Basket"***, or a little shopping cart icon. Click on it.
Reviewing Your Order
You should now see a summary of everything you've added. Double-check that everything is correct – the right dishes, the quantities, and any special instructions you might have added. This is your last chance to make any changes before you proceed.
Moving to Payment
Once you're happy with your order, look for a button that says "Checkout" or something similar. Click on it to move to the next stage, which is usually where you'll enter your delivery details.
Step 3: Entering Your Delivery Details
Now, Just Eat will likely ask for your delivery address and contact information. Make sure this is accurate so your food finds its way to the right place! Fill in all the required fields carefully.
Specifying Delivery Instructions
Some restaurants also allow you to add specific delivery instructions, like "buzz the third floor" or "leave at the doorstep." If you have any such instructions, make sure to add them here.
Step 4: Selecting Your Payment Method
Here's the part you've been waiting for! After you've entered your delivery details, you'll arrive at the payment options screen.
Finding the PayPal Option
Look for the PayPal logo. It usually says "PayPal" next to it. It might be listed alongside other payment methods like credit/debit cards.
Selecting PayPal
Click on the "PayPal" option. This will usually redirect you to the PayPal website or open a secure pop-up window.
Step 5: Logging into Your PayPal Account
You'll now be prompted to log in to your PayPal account. Enter the email address and password associated with your PayPal account. Make sure you're on the official PayPal website to ensure your details are secure. Look for the padlock icon in your browser's address bar.
Step 6: Reviewing and Confirming Your Payment
Once you've logged in, you'll see a summary of your Just Eat order and the payment amount. PayPal will also show you the funding source linked to your account (e.g., your bank account or a specific card).
Choosing Your Funding Source (If Applicable)
If you have multiple funding sources linked to your PayPal account, you might be able to choose which one you want to use for this transaction. Select your preferred option.
Completing the Payment
Carefully review all the details and then click the button that says ***"Pay Now"***, ***"Confirm Payment"***, or something similar. This will authorize the payment to Just Eat through your PayPal account.
Step 7: Returning to Just Eat and Order Confirmation
After your payment is successful, you'll usually be automatically redirected back to the Just Eat website or app. You should then see a confirmation screen with your order details, including the estimated delivery time.
Checking Your Email
Just Eat will also typically send a confirmation email to the email address associated with your Just Eat account. PayPal might also send you a confirmation of the transaction. Keep an eye on your inbox!
And that's it! You've successfully used PayPal to order your delicious meal on Just Eat. Now all that's left to do is sit back, relax, and wait for your food to arrive. Enjoy!
