A PayPal Gift Card is a digital code that you can redeem to add funds to your PayPal account. These gift cards are especially useful for users who accept PayPal as a payment method. Once you redeem a PayPal Gift Card, the funds are added to your PayPal account. You can then use these funds to make purchases without directly using your bank account or PayPal balance1.


How to Obtain a PayPal Gift Card:


Sending Digitally: If you want to send a PayPal Gift Card to someone, ensure they have a valid email address. You can then send the gift card digitally via text message or email. Alternatively, you can print it out and hand it to them personally or send it via postal service.

Selecting a Gift Card: Visit PayPal’s gift card store online to choose from various options. You can browse available brands, search by occasion, or explore specific types of gift cards (such as beauty or dining).

Deals and Discounts: Check out the “Deals” tab on the PayPal Gifts page for select gift cards available at discounted prices.

How to Redeem a PayPal Gift Card:


Once you receive a PayPal gift card, it will come with a 16-digit code.

If your gift card is in printed form, follow these steps to register it to your PayPal account:

Go to PayPal’s gift card page and log in.

Select “Use Gift Card.”

Enter the 16-digit code from your gift card.

The gift card balance should be added to your PayPal account instantly.

After adding the gift card to your PayPal account, you can use it for purchases:

In-Store: Use it at brick-and-mortar stores that accept PayPal.

Online: Shop at various online retailers accepting PayPal, including Apple, Chewy, DoorDash, Instacart, Roblox, Target, and Walmart1.

Advantages of PayPal Gift Cards:


No Expiration Date: Unlike physical gift cards, PayPal gift cards do not expire.

Convenient and Versatile: Use them for both online and in-store purchases.

Easy Redemption: Register the card, and you’re ready to shop!

Remember that PayPal gift cards cannot be converted back to cash directly, but they provide a convenient way to manage your spending and make secure transactions.
