Use PayPal with Crypto

PayPal lets account holders add major card networks and pick a preferred way to pay, so SolCard can sit inside the same Wallet setup you already use for PayPal checkout and items-and-services payments.

PayPal's own help docs note that changing your general preferred payment method does not automatically update subscriptions, billing agreements, or other automatic payments. SolCard works best when you assign it directly to the merchant agreement that will renew.

For some payments, PayPal may use a backup funding source if the selected method is unavailable or cannot cover the full amount. On automatic payments, PayPal says that backup usage may only be visible after the charge completes.

When a seller sends you a PayPal invoice, PayPal can present the payment methods already stored in your Wallet. PayPal also says Wallet-funded invoice payments are covered by Purchase Protection, which matters for contractor bills and other invoice-based purchases.

PayPal returns refunds to the original payment method. That means a card-funded refund can take longer than a balance refund, with credit cards potentially taking one to two billing cycles and debit cards often clearing faster.

PayPal does support Checkout with Crypto for eligible U.S. customers with sufficient crypto in a PayPal Balance account, but the feature only appears on eligible purchases and one cryptocurrency must cover the full amount. SolCard is broader when your assets sit outside PayPal.
