Does PayPal have gift cards

No, PayPal does not have its own traditional gift card that adds cash to a PayPal balance, but PayPal can be used to buy other brands' gift cards and to pay with prepaid cards.

The link between PayPal and gift cards works in a few different ways.

  • Buying brand gift cards: The PayPal Digital Gifts Store sells digital gift cards for retailers such as Apple, Amazon and Xbox, and you log in with your PayPal account to pay for them.
  • Adding prepaid gift cards: Visa, Mastercard and American Express prepaid gift cards can be added to a PayPal wallet and used as a payment method when checking out online.
  • Third-party vouchers: Some outside digital sellers, such as Rewarble, offer vouchers marketed for topping up a PayPal balance. These are not issued by PayPal, which does not sell or redeem a branded cash gift card of its own.

Anyone reading a PayPal overview should treat a product listed online as a "PayPal gift card" with care, since it usually comes from a third party rather than from PayPal itself. Checking who issues the card before paying helps avoid confusion about what it can be used for.
