Where Can I Add Cash to PayPal

Direct ways to add cash to PayPal

You can add money to PayPal directly using a linked debit card or bank account. These are the fastest methods and work in most countries where PayPal operates. You can also deposit a check using the PayPal app, which lets you scan and add funds without visiting a bank.

In-store cash deposit options

PayPal partnered with retailers that allow cash deposits. You can visit a participating store, provide your PayPal email, and hand over cash. The funds are typically available within minutes. Common retailers include CVS, 7-Eleven, and Walgreens, though availability varies by location.

How to deposit cash at a retailer

• Open your PayPal app and tap Add Cash.
• Select a nearby participating store.
• Generate a barcode and show it at the register.
• Hand over cash and wait for confirmation.

PayPal Cash and PayPal Cash Plus

PayPal offers two accounts that support direct deposit and cash loading. PayPal Cash is free and includes a Mastercard debit card. PayPal Cash Plus includes additional features such as early direct deposit and higher limits, depending on your eligibility and state.

Fees, limits, and availability

Adding cash at a retailer typically costs $4.95 per transaction, though fees can vary. Daily and monthly limits depend on your account type and verification level. Not all cash deposit options are available in every state or country.
