How PayPal Checkout Works

Select each item you wish to purchase and that will add them to your cart shown at the bottom of this page. Once you have added all the items to your cart, click "Pay with PayPal" — you'll be taken to PayPal's secure checkout page.

  • Already have a PayPal account? Log in there to pay.
  • Don't have one, or would rather not log in? Scroll down until you see "Pay with a Card" option and click that and fill in the payment and address details.
  • Paying by credit card: PayPal will try to sign you up for a PayPal account by default (it pre-fills a signup option on that screen) — look for the option to decline/remove this if you just want to pay as a guest without creating an account.
  • If PayPal asks you to verify your identity (e.g. a code sent to your phone), that's a normal PayPal security step — just follow the prompts.
  • If anything goes wrong or you change your mind, it's safe to start over on this page — nothing is charged until you complete PayPal's checkout.
