Introduction:
PayPal, founded in the year 1998, is a unified online payments application of American origin that aims to provide a one-stop solution to all forms of digital payment issues. Headquartered in San Jose, California, PayPal has grown remarkably over the past two decades to become what it is today – a global userbase of 392 million people in as many as 203 countries. PayPal is widely accepted by most of the leading brands and companies around the world, allowing users to shop at different places without any worries.
There are many online food places where PayPal can be used to pay for the food. A few such places include Domino’s Pizza, KFC, Del Taco, Subway, Starbucks, etc. PayPal can also be connected to one’s Google Pay or Samsung Pay account and then, be used for payments. Most of the places accept PayPal either directly or indirectly (via Google Pay or Apple Pay).
Procedure to order food online using PayPal:
The procedure is quite simple. To place an order using PayPal, log in to a food delivery app like Grubhub, Uber eats, KFC, etc. and then:
- Follow all the normal steps which you would follow to place an order.
- Confirm the order on the next page and make sure every detail is correct.
- Proceed to the payment confirmation page.
- Select PayPal as the payment option and make the payment using your PayPal account.
Most of the popular food-ordering apps (such as Uber Eats, Boxed, Goldbelly, etc.) and the popular restaurants (KFC, McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Subway, etc. to name a few) accept PayPal as a mode of payment these days.
Procedure to order food online if PayPal is not supported directly:
In this case, an indirect method would need to be used to process the payment through PayPal. Users can choose to buy gift cards via PayPal that can later be used for payments. Using the gift cards also helps sometimes to get extra discounts and free shipping.
Users can also connect their PayPal account to Google Pay or Samsung Pay, which are accepted at a majority of the stores. To connect the accounts, the latter apps would need to be permitted to use the PayPal account for payments from the “Payment methods” section. After the linking is done, one can simply log in to the PayPal account and choose to pay. iOS users would need to connect their accounts to Apple Pay.
