How to link your PayPal account with Google Pay

The link is made with these steps:

1. Open the "Payment" area in Google Pay.
2. There, your PayPal account may already be displayed. Otherwise, tap on "+ Payment Method" and select "PayPal".
3. You will then be redirected either to the PayPal app on your smartphone (if installed) or to the PayPal website. There you follow the steps including consent to use with Google Pay.
4. It is also important to enter a PIN code twice, which you can set yourself.

Thereupon you can pay via Google Pay with your PayPal account. In the process, PayPal first always tries to settle your payments with existing credit. If this is not available, the amount due is debited from the connected bank account.
