Using PayPal In-Store

[soliver571]

I am supposed to be able to pay through my phone at many merchants in-store, but when I look for merchants in the app, I only get Autozone and Dollar General.  Why is this?  When I search for a specific store, even when I am in the same store, I get a message that the store is not found.  WTH?  It makes PayPal nearly sueless in the Mobile App.  Annoying.

Instore checkout is unfortunately a bit complicated with PayPal due to the variety of checkout options it provides. Unfortunately online resources for instore checkout assist are incomplete and sparse at best.

Dollar General accepts PayPal Credit instore.

Autozone does NOT accept PayPal Credit in store, but it accepts a different form of PayPal checkout.

What funding source were you trying to check out with?

Thanks for the response.

Not really an issue regarding funding source, but rather being able to use my phone at all with businesses outside of autozone and DG for payment.  Based on another response (below), it sounds like PayPal is a lousy partner for this type of trnsaction.

Seems PP is trying to run customers off. I tried to use PP in AutoZone today and it would not go through Yes my default pay method is PPCredit. When I called support, after more than an hour on hold, they said nothing about not being able to use PPCredit in store. Instead, they told me that PP is discontinuing in store through PP. They are going to Samsung Pay and Google Pay instead. All I need to do now is figure out how to add an account, that i have no card to take a picture of, to either of those two. They also told me tgat it will no longer be available for use with AutoZone online. They must really hate our business.

Get a PAYPAL business debit card,it will tap your Paypal balance and then your bank fund,it is a MC card so it is accepted where MC is accepted.

If you use it as a credit card,Paypal gives you 1% cash rebate,but some stores recognise it as a debit card,you cant use it as  a credit card,eg AMZN.com

Thanks for the reply.  PayPal just doesn't seem to be a good partner for non-web payments.
