Does Amazon allow PayPal payments

No, Amazon does not allow PayPal payments directly at checkout, but PayPal users can still pay on Amazon through a couple of indirect methods.

PayPal's own help centre confirms that PayPal is not offered as a payment option on Amazon. Shoppers who want to spend their PayPal funds there usually rely on one of these routes:

  • PayPal Debit Card: A physical or virtual PayPal Debit Card, or the PayPal Business Debit Mastercard, draws money straight from your PayPal balance. You add the card number to your Amazon wallet in the same way as any other Mastercard or Visa card.
  • Amazon gift cards: You can buy a digital Amazon gift card with PayPal from a third-party retailer that accepts PayPal, then redeem the code in your Amazon account and use the balance for purchases.

The debit card route works because Amazon treats the card like a standard card payment, while PayPal simply supplies the funds behind it. A PayPal overview of the debit card options, including the virtual version, explains how the card links to your balance.

If you choose the gift card route, buy the code from a reputable retailer that accepts PayPal, and redeem it in your Amazon account before placing your order.
