Many businesses allow PayPal as a payment method. However, you cannot use it on Amazon\u2019s website to purchase merchandise or Amazon gift cards. So, you may have wondered if there\u2019s a way to buy Amazon gift cards using PayPal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can buy Amazon gift cards by adding a PayPal account and routing number to your Amazon payment methods. You can also add a PayPal debit card to use for payment on your Amazon account. Purchase in-store Amazon gift cards using your PayPal app or Google Pay once you\u2019ve linked your PayPal account.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though Amazon doesn\u2019t allow the use of PayPal directly to purchase their gift cards online, there are other ways to obtain their gift cards using your PayPal account, including through Amazon. This article will explore the different ways to buy Amazon gift cards with PayPal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Add Your PayPal Account Number to Amazon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your PayPal account and debit card are with The Bancorp Bank. You\u2019re provided with an account number, routing number, and a debit card, just as a typical bank would when you sign up for this feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
