How to Transfer a Gift Card to a Bank Account

To verify that it is your bank account, Paypal will deposit a small amount of money into your bank account within a few days. You must check your bank account statement and return to the Paypal site to input the amount deposited into your account. This will verify your bank account.
3. Add a credit card to your bank account by choosing “Add funds” at the top of the Paypal homepage once you are logged in. Add the amount that is on the gift card.
4. Click on “Transfer Funds” at the top of the Paypal homepage and transfer the amount on the gift card into your bank account. It will take three to five days before the funds arrive in your bank account.

How to Apply for a PayPal Credit Card

Apply for a PayPal Credit Card
1. Familiarize yourself with the benefits of the PayPal Plus credit card. It's a Mastercard created specifically for PayPal members and offers additional protection on purchases beyond that of a traditional PayPal account, including zero liability for proven unauthorized charges. Additionally, you won't have to pay an annual fee.
2. Learn the difference between a PayPal credit card and PayPal buyer credit. A PayPal credit card is a material card that can be used just like any other, while buyer credit is a credit account that allows buyers to make monthly payments on their PayPal balance.
3. Know your credit history and credit score. It's recommended that your credit score be at least 675 to apply and be approved for the PayPal Plus Card. However, if your credit card application is declined, PayPal will automatically consider your information for the buyer credit program.
4. Create a PayPal account or log in to your existing account. On the 'Account Overview' page, click the 'PayPal Plus Credit Card' link. Alternatively, you can click the 'PlusCard' link that can be found at the bottom of any PayPal page.
5. Read the information thoroughly. The initial page gives you the option to compare products as well as read the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section and the Terms and Conditions of the card. The 'Terms and Conditions' section includes important information about finance charges and the issuing financial institution.
6. Print a copy of the 'Terms and Conditions' section for your records, using the provided 'Print a Copy' link.
7. Click one of the many 'Apply Now' links to get to the application form. Your name, email address and home address will already be filled in based on your account preferences.
8. Confirm that the contact information PayPal has provided is correct and decide whether you want to be enrolled in the 'Account Security' program.
9. Agree to the Terms and Conditions of the card, submit your application and wait the required 30 seconds to see whether or not you have been approved.
10. Begin using the credit line even before you receive your card in the mail. PayPal will immediately add it as a funding source to your account.

How to Change the Message in PayPal Checkout

1. Open your Custom Payment Page Styles page by first logging into your account. Once you arrive on the My Account Overview page, select the 'Profile' tab to bring up your Profile Summary. Select 'Custom Payment Page Styles' from the Selling Preferences column.
2. Select the 'Add' button to create your custom page. Your PayPal page will automatically be selected, and while an Edit button is available, you cannot edit the PayPal page style, since it is permanent, so you will need to add your own.
3. Enter your 'Page Style Name' up to 30 characters long. You can use letters, numbers and the underscore symbol, but no spaces or other symbols.
4. Create your 'Header' Image by linking to a valid URL from a secure server for your company banner. This banner should be a maximum of 750 pixels wide by 90 pixels high.
5. Change the colors in the message. Enter a Header Background Color, Header Border Color and Payment Flow Background Color using HTML hex code. This code is a six-digit number for the different colors just like web code, but do not include the # symbol in front of it. For example, black would be 000000 instead of #000000.
6. Preview and save your page, then make it your primary page. This will apply your new, co-branded checkout message page to all your transactions. Go once again to the Custom Payment Page Styles and select the 'Make Primary' button.
7. Add your customer service number to your page from the Customize Your Payment Page under the options tab. Select the check box for 'Display your phone number to customers under the Merchant service' options heading and click 'save.'
8. Add a survey to better understand your customers from the Merchant service options tab by checking the box for 'Add a customer service survey.' Questions -- such as 'How did you hear about us?' -- can help you better control your marketing strategies.
