First order and paying for it....

[kfries]

Hello all..

I'm knew to PayPal so hoping you can help me out. I have an order ready for payment on an online sight and can't figure out how to place payment. The site does direct me to to the paypal site, but I have no clue how to pay for the items in my cart.

Thanks in advance!

When you are at the website shopping cart checkout, you choose PayPal.  Then log in to your PayPal account, review order info, check shipping address and payment method you want to use, then click submit payment.  

But before you do that, have you linked  a credit card and/or and bank account, sources of funds, to your PayPal account?  You must do that first. And your PayPal account name and address and your card or bank account name and address must match.

Thanks for the quick response sharpiemaker! I understand that piece; however when I tried this it wouldn't allow the transaction to occur... I'll follow-up with the account info. 

Best and Kudos!

Thanks!
