This wikiHow teaches you how to pay bills with PayPal. As long as your service provider accepts PayPal, you should be able to select it as a payment method when paying bills. If they don't accept PayPal but you still want to pay bills with your PayPal account, you can use a PayPal debit card (Mastercard) instead to make your payments.

1
Go to your service provider's website. As long as the company you want to pay accepts PayPal payments, you can use the service to pay your bill through that service.
- For example, you can opt to use PayPal as your payment method for Comcast Xfinity.
- This is a process you have to set up on the biller's site (e.g., Xfinity.com if you're paying Xfinity), not on PayPal's website.
2
Log into your account. You might have a username set up with your provider, but you might also use an email address instead of a username.

3
Locate the Billing or Payments area of the website. The name of this section varies by provider, but you're looking for the part of your account page where you can schedule a payment.
4
Select PayPal as your payment method. Some providers, like Xfinity, allow you to set up recurring payments using your default payment method.
- Depending on the service, you may have the option to set up recurring automatic payments through PayPal.
5
Confirm the payment. You'll receive an email with a link to your account settings in PayPal if you want to cancel the payment.
- If you're using the PayPal app on your phone or tablet, you can also opt into push notifications from the PayPal app so you'll be alerted whenever money comes out of your account.[1]

1
Get a PayPal Debit Card. If your billing provider doesn't accept PayPal as a payment method but does accept debit cards, you can sign up for a free PayPal debit card. This will allow you to pay with your PayPal balance anywhere that Mastercard is accepted. To get your PayPal card:
- Go to https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/cash-card and click Get The Card.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to order your card.
- When the card comes in the mail, go to https://www.paypal.com/myaccount and sign in.
- Click Activate and follow the on-screen information to complete the activation.
2
Go to your service provider's website. As long as your service provider accepts Mastercard credit or debit cards, you can use your new PayPal card to pay your bill.
3

Log into your account. You might have a username set up with your provider, but you might also use an email address instead of a username.
4
Enter your PayPal Card information as your payment method. Enter this info just as you would any other credit or debit card to process your payment.
- Set up recurring payments if it's an option. If you don't want to need to do this every time the bill is due, you could possibly have the chance to remember and use this card for future payments.
