Can I Send Money From Paypal To Apple Pay

Apple's digital wallet - Apple Pay¹ - is a handy way to make purchases in person and online. Unfortunately at the moment, you can't use Apple Pay and PayPal together - although you can link your Apple ID to PayPal for some in app purchases. This guide will tell you how.

We'll also take a look at the Wise multi-currency Mastercard as an alternative to use with your Apple Pay account, to cut costs and spend conveniently. It could end up being up to 4x cheaper for spending abroad.

We'll cover:

  • Apple Pay and PayPal - the basics
  • How to add PayPal to your Apple ID

Apple Pay and PayPal - the basics

As we have noted, you can't use your PayPal account with Apple Pay. That means you can't use PayPal to fund contactless purchases on the iPhone or Apple Watch. It's also worth noting that you can't use a PayPal Cash Card with Apple Pay.²

It is, however, possible to add PayPal to your Apple ID to make in app purchases. That means you can use PayPal to buy from the App Store, Apple Books or iTunes, or to buy Apple iCloud storage.

Try Wise instead

You can't link your PayPal account or card to Apple Pay. But you can access simple, low cost payments using Apple Pay, if you use a Wise multi-currency account and Mastercard instead. If you're spending overseas, or shopping online with retailers based abroad, this may also save you money compared to PayPal.

Get a Wise multi-currency account online to hold dozens of currencies and access currency conversion at the mid-market rate. Simply switch to the currency you need for a low, upfront charge, and you can spend using the card, with no additional foreign transaction fees. Link to Apple Pay for convenience, and you're all set.
