How do I use prepaid visa card to cover remaining balance on a purchase?

So I want to make a purchase with PayPal. I have money on my PayPal balance but it's not enough to cover the full cost of the purchase. Is there a way to make it so that the purchase uses up my PayPal balance and then covers the remaining cost of the purchase with the prepaid card that's linked to my account? (Note: The prepaid balance has limited balance as well so it can't cover the full cost of the purchase)

Link the prepaid card on the Wallet page and complete confirmation process. During checkout, choose to pay with your PayPal balance, then it’ll ask you to add a card or choose a payment method as back up to the balance. Read the checkout screens carefully.

Thanks so much! Also, does it matter what my preferred payment method is set to?

I'm at the checkout page of the website and when I press checkout with PayPal and login, the cost only displays the cost of the items without the shipping and the tax. I clicked continue and it leads me to the page where I can press place order. I didn't see any backup payment option or even the full cost of the purchase. What should I do?
