Can't make transaction at dollar general

[Apostle2015]

I went to try to make a transaction at dollar general as usual using my phone number but it asked for a code instead. Where do I find this?

No.  You'll just need to wait until you get cash before you buy stuff.

For those of you that are still having this problem… I have had this problem every single time that I go to Dollar General! What I did was I finally got fed up with being on hold with PayPal this last time and it went into the store and I asked them to do a smaller transaction under $20. And it works! So I did three transactions all under $15, rather than $20 to be safe...and each one worked every time. it's obviously an issue with the amount the PayPal allows to go through Per transaction… And it's apparently a pretty widespread problem, so they really need to fix this!

I tried it multiple times for less than $10.00 yesterday and mine was still declined. PayPal call center was no help. Very embarrassed 😳

I get it to work 1 time then declines after that what am I doing wrong?

Also just tried to buy something at dollar general.  Having to have your mobile phone with you defeats the whole purpose for me.  The phone number and pin system worked perfect.  I'm sure the lady at Dollar general really apriciated the big bag of frozen food I left at the counter unpaid for.

I had the same issue the first time. I called PayPal and was told my acct was blocked for security protection because it was my first time using PayPal balance instore. I had to answer security questions and the freeze was removed. I had to speak to multiple reps who weren't helpful. In short I was unsure if paying instore would ever work but decided to attempt it one more time. 1. I made sure my primary payment preference was set as PayPal balance. 2. Selected pay In Store and chose the Dollar General location I shop at. A 4 digit code was given to use as the pin # at checkout. 3. At Dollar General the employee had to run the purchase as PayPal before I selected PayPal on the card reader for it to work. (This may be part of the issue). I then keyed the 4 digit code and it approved the purchase with no problem.
