How to use PayPal in the Uphold app?
Uphold supports PayPal as a payment method exclusively in the US or the UK. To use PayPal with your Uphold account, make sure both accounts are set up in the same country and the name on PayPal matches the one in your Uphold account.
For help linking your PayPal account follow the steps on how to link a payment method.
Which funding sources can I use?
When linking PayPal with your Uphold account you will be able to choose your default funding source (for Uphold only). You can use any of the following methods:
- PayPal balance
- Debit cards (credit cards not supported)
- ACH accounts
If at any point you want to change the default funding source, you’ll have to remove and re-add PayPal. If you’re looking for some guidance, check how to manage payment methods.
Common issues & limitations
If you see “We couldn’t process your transaction” make sure that your funding source has enough funds. If it does, it may be due to other reasons for PayPal payment declines.
