Option to pay with PayPal?

[north panther]

Hello, I am interested in Runpod and would like to request the integration of PayPal as a payment method, because unfortunately I have no other way to buy credit on Runpod.

I think you can use a virtual cards like PayPal Debit Card, Revolut, Wise, Curve, Monese, etc. Those should allow you to use money from PayPal.

I'd recommend the PayPal Debit card if it's available in your country, Wise is fantastic too.

Thanks for the answers, unfortunately the PayPal debit card is not possible in my country.

Is there a reason why PayPal is not offered or is this planned?

[small spindle]

I think typically PayPal is associated with a little bit more risk, I can ask and see, but I will probably be told no citing risk.

[north panther]

I assumed that PayPal is now a common payment method everywhere. I am also not aware of any risks. I can imagine that you will have significantly more customers with PayPal.

It would be very kind of you if you could raise this internally and perhaps give some feedback here.

Did you check the other mentioned providers?

[north panther]

Yes, I have, but honestly, I don't want to register with another provider and give them my data. I thought I was on the safe side with PayPal and could use it to buy online pretty much anywhere, but unfortunately, I was wrong. I hope there is still a chance that PayPal will be approved as a payment method. I'm waiting to see if @small spindle can provide any new insights into the issue I reported.

Unfortunately, I would say PayPal is still not available in many places. Only Visa and Mastercard have such a monopoly that they're truly everywhere (>90%) 😕 So, you're probably better off with a virtual card provider if you're aiming for that.
