Set up payment options with PayPal

PayPal is method to pay online. Without entering credit card or bank details. That’s safe and convenient. PayPal will debit the service from a credit card, bank account or outstanding balance after payment. In addition, PayPal offers buyer protection. You will receive a refund if an ordered product arrives damaged or is not delivered at all. In this article we discuss the options available to pay via PayPal. The article ‘Create a Paypal account’ explains how to set up an account.

PayPal can be connected to your bank account or credit card. The handy thing is that when paying via PayPal you only need to log in to that service. If you then pay via PayPal, the amount will be debited from the linked account or card.

Do you find such a coupling a hassle or are you concerned about safety? You can also make an advance deposit in the PayPal wallet. Items that you buy are then paid from that pot.
