PayPal is the most commonly used Global Payment tool. You can compare it to the global version of Alipay.
What do our domestic friends use to pay for Taobao? Alipay.
Similarly, there is a global e-commerce platform overseas, called Amazon. You can compare it to the global version of Taobao. What do foreign people use to pay for online shopping? The mainstream is credit cards and PayPal.
Similarly, PayPal is equivalent to an online wallet abroad. You can transfer money to your friend’s PayPal account, or go shopping and so on.
Then Amazon and PayPal are actually familiar things abroad, but our domestic Taobao and Alipay are too powerful, Amazon and PayPal just can’t squeeze into the Chinese market haha
Can gift cards be tied to PayPal?
Yes,
PayPal is a convenient and fast payment platform, users can shop, transfer money and other operations on PayPal. At the same time, PayPal also provides the function of coupons and gift cards, which is convenient for users to enjoy more discounts.
First, to use a coupon or gift card, the user needs to create an account on PayPal and bind a payment method such as a bank card or credit card. Then, the user can choose to use a coupon or gift card on the checkout page when purchasing goods in the PayPal mall or other partner merchants. After entering the coupon code or gift card number, PayPal will automatically calculate the discount or discount amount and display the price after the discount. Users can confirm that it is correct before proceeding with the payment operation.
My PayPal has a savings card attached, but I didn’t directly charge the money into the PayPal, so I can buy it directly………..
You can buy foreign things, but you are bound to a UnionPay savings card, and you need to pay at a PayPal merchant who supports UnionPay. But general merchants support it. PayPal will automatically convert from your UnionPay card to US dollars. The exchange rate is calculated according to the exchange rate of the day, and there is no additional handling fee. Personal suggestion: You can apply for a dual-currency Visa or Master credit card, which is basically supported by all PayPal merchants around the world.
