I do know the places that accept it, definitely no problem in that area.  I don't know how to do it once I am at the register and I choose PayPal as my payment method.  It used to be you would get a code from them online, but that doesn't appear to be the option any more because it's not available on the app (plus the app is heavily geared towards Android, not iPhone which is what I have).  It would be soooooooooooooo much easier if PayPal Credit just converted all their credit accounts to the new PayPal Mastercards, instead they want me to apply for that, even though I obviously already have the credit with them, and I don't want them to ding my credit score by running a credit check. ...

How Do I Use My Paypal Credit (not the mastercard)...

This question has probably been asked/answered before however I can't find it.  There is tons of information in the community about the PayPal Credit Card and the PayPal Debit card.  However, I am asking specifically about exclusively PayPal Credit, the one that does not have a card.  I know I can use my PayPal credit in stores, such as Home Depot, however, I cannot find any reliable information on how to use it.  I have seen instructions on how to use the app to get some sort of code to key in at the register (I am using an iPhone).  However, there is no clear and concise directions on how to actually do that aside from using the "In Store" option which is not an option that is readily available (if at all) on my app.  When in the app, in order to view my PayPal credit information I actually have to hit on a link that takes me to the specific PayPal Credit site and there is barely any options in that area of the app, and there is DEFINITELY not an in store option.  I have been trying to figure this out for literally YEARS and PayPal has been of no assistance nor can I find any info on the community.....HELP PLEASE!!!! ...

How Do I use Paypal in Physical Store Like Home De...

I was at Home Depot last week and attempted to use my Paypal account for the $180 purchase.  There was a Paypal option on the payment screen and I pressed it, then it asked for a phone number, which I keyed, and then it asked for a pin.  I don't have a pin, never received a pin from Paypal.  How can I get a pin to actually make payments in physical store locations?  Alternately, just in general, how can I make payments in physical stores????  Maybe I went about it the wrong way or something but I could not get it to work and can't find any good information on the Paypal website on how to do this.  Please, if you have any experience, or suggestions let me know.  Because what I ultimately ended up doing, was scrapping the order at the register, purchased all the goods online, set the pickup for in store, and processed with paypal as one of the online options for Home Depot.com and picked the goods up at the customer service desk of the store.  If I can pay physically at some locations I would love that too.  So I'm all ears. ...
