Does paypal have a virtual card?

[mtintl]

Good day everyone.

Just wanted to find out if paypal has a virtual card feature? and if so, how does one go about getting one? Thanks in advance

Not in the tradition sense. PayPal allows the creation of temporary virtual cards in relation to Pay in 4 or lets new account holders of PayPal physical cards use a virtual version until their physical card arrives but these products are not available outside of the US anyway.

I used the single use number feature once for Pay in 4 and no longer see it. It's been gone from my account for months.

Hello @Niknack 

Welcome to the Community and thank you for your post!

I understand your concern about the availability of virtual card number for Pay in 4. The virtual card information is single online use which is valid for 24 hours only. PayPal is not able to duplicate the virtual credit card information if it is not copied. If you misplaced the virtual credit card information, you would need to apply again.  You can learn more about obtaining the virtual card number here : How do I obtain the virtual credit card number?

Best wishes,

Bindu

Did you ever get to apply/use the single time use again? (used it about 6 months ago and still haven't gotten the option and well just been wondering if its just once and that's it?)

When I signed up to get the debit card from PayPal there was a virtual card that showed up on the app, as a temp until I got the physical card. I was able to use the virtual cards numbers to add it to my walmart account and make purchases and to my Google wallet.

Did the money come out of the paypal credit, or go to one of your cc on file?

Did it work out for you?

If you have a bank account or card already you can get a PayPal debit or credit card - make sure that it's linked as your preferred method to avoid confusion. There's always an actual customer service toll free number for anything you want to know. Good luck .
