What is PayPal Credit?
PayPal Credit is like a credit card, without the plastic. It's a credit limit that's attached to your PayPal account which you can use for your online purchases.
Affordability
As with all forms of credit, it is important that you think about whether you can afford the monthly repayments before you enter into a credit agreement.
0% for 4 Months Offer
The 0% for 4 months offer is available on orders of £99.00 or more. No interest will be charged on the transaction for 4 months after purchase, but there will still be a minimum monthly amount you will need to repay, and you will be charged interest on any remaining balance at 21.9% p.a. (variable). If you fail to make minimum repayments on time or in certain other circumstances, PayPal may remove your offer. Please see the Credit Agreement for more details.
How do I apply?
Applying for PayPal Credit is easy. Click on the PayPal Credit button on our basket or checkout pages, login to PayPal or create an account, then complete the short application form and, if approved and once you accept the Credit Agreement, you'll have a credit limit linked to your PayPal account almost straight away.
Do I need to reapply if I already have PayPal Credit?
If you already have PayPal Credit, you can take advantage of these offers without having to reapply as long as you have enough available credit limit. Just select one of the available instalment offers and check out with PayPal Credit.
Do I need to have a PayPal account?
Yes, however you can create one as part of the application process for PayPal Credit. The first stage of the process will ask you to sign into your PayPal account or offer you the opportunity to sign up for one. Once you’ve signed up for a PayPal account, you can begin the application for PayPal Credit.
Signing up for a PayPal account is free and easy; all you need to do is provide your email address, create a password and accept PayPal's User Agreement.
I do not see PayPal Credit as a payment option?
PayPal Credit is only available to Merlin Cycles customers within the United Kingdom. For PayPal Credit to show as a payment option, you will need to ensure that you have a minimum spend of £99 in your shopping basket.
What do I do if I am unsuccessful in applying for PayPal Credit?
If you have been declined for PayPal Credit, PayPal will send you more information about why your application was unsuccessful. Alternate methods of payment are available.
