Paypal Credit to Venmo

[michele7006]

If I have someone doing work for me who uses venmo, is there a way to pay them via paypal credit?

No.

How Venmo works with PayPal is that it is a merchant business/sales tool so that Venmo users can make purchases and pay with Venmo, not the other way 'round:

Now if you have Venmo account and the person working for you PayPal invoiced you or sent you a PayPal button email link for their employment services, then you can pay them with through Venmo via PayPal.

I don't have a Venmo account, nor do I want one. I have a line of credit with Paypal that I would like to utilize if possible when paying for services. The contractor only takes Venmo, so I wanted to see if I could use my Paypal line of credit to pay them.

I see. Venmo can't accept payments from PayPal directly but PayPal can accept payments from Venmo hence PayPal Credit can't be used.
