Use PayPal to checkout at Home Depot

[Specialized1956]

I am going to start out by saying that I have read - and tried - all of the links in related threads.  At this point I assume that this was a project that didn't work out between PayPal and HomeDepot. 

The PayPal icon has been on the checkout screens at HomeDepot for at least 3 years now, and I have yet to hear from a single person - online, at HomeDepot, from PayPal,  in real world, etc. - that has ever successufully used this method to pay at checkout for in-store purchases.  About as close as I can come is to buy online, and pick-up in-store.

Please respond to this thread only if you have personally linked your account to a way to pay directly at the register at Home Depot.  I am already aware of the "debit card" approach.  That is not what I am looking for.

I think that I am looking for a "white unicorn", but I would love to be wrong.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, that helped me finally establish my pin.  I would never have thought to look in the mobile app only... just assumed there would be feature parity with regular web access.  Now let's see if this actually works next time I'm at HD. 🙂

How did you get the pin?

I made a few in-store purchases with home depot and foot locker before via mobile number with PIN. Haven't had any problem yet.

Re: Use PayPal to checkout at Home Depot

1. Log in to your PayPal account in the PayPal App.
2. Click the Settings icon next to "Log Out."
3. Click Security.
4. Click Edit or Revise next to"Mobile PIN."
5. Create or change your PIN and click Add or change PIN.

I have used PayPal regularly at Home Depot for the last couple of years.  When I say regularly, I literally mean at least once a week due to my work.  When it was first added I did have problems getting it to work.  A few months in they apparently worked out the bugs and I had no problems until a couple weeks ago when it stopped working again.  After no success for a couple weeks, I contacted PayPal thinking there was something wrong with my account.  Nope.  I was told they were aware of a problem with HD and were working with them to fix it.

So in response to your post, I have used it many times successfully.  However, it hasn't worked lately; including about an hour ago.

And please make sure the app you are using is the most current version.

Yes it works. I use it all the time. Just use your phone number and 4 digit pin. No card, no app (although I added the app to set up the pin) no hassle at all. Super easy checkout. I only use PayPal at Home Depot. I've been using PayPal for over a year there and it always works.

How do I set it up without the app?  I have a Windows phone and PayPal discontinued the Windows app a few years ago.  This has been very frustrating.  I have been trying to nmake this work for years, literally.

I used it for a few years, no issues, then a few months ago, it wouldn't work anymore.  Found out through lots of research, homedepot changed their software, but never got with PayPal to make it work again.  I had local store manager contact coorporate, but must of fell on deaf ears as still does not work.

Used it tonight because I forgot my wallet. Had to go on PayPal.com to setup my PIN though. Did not find a way to do it on the app.

Same here...on the app, I didn’t have the security option. I had to go derectly to the website and hit settings, and click on the login and security option at the top of the page. That’s where I found the option to create a pin. But I was able to verify my phone number through the app.
