Here’s how to set a card as your preferred payment method on the PayPal app:

  1. Go to your Wallet
  2. Scroll down to Preferences.
  3. Tap to set your preferred payment method for online purchases, in-person purchases, and more.

You need to add a payment method (such as a card) to your PayPal account before you can select it as a preferred way to pay.
