PayPal

These Terms of Use for Google Pay (“Terms of Use”) constitute a legal agreement between you and PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A. (“we” or “PayPal”).

These Terms of Use govern the use of your PayPal Account (“PayPal Account” or “Account”) in Google Pay (“PayPal in Google Pay”). They supplement the PayPal User Agreement that governs your use of PayPal’s services in general.

If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and the PayPal User Agreement, these Terms of Use shall prevail.

2. Possible Uses

PayPal in Google Pay enables you to make

contactless payments at merchants’ contactless-enabled point-of-sale terminals or readers that accept contactless payments with Google Pay provided the merchant accepts Mastercard; and
in-app or other digital commerce payments to merchants participating in Google Pay and accepting Mastercard.

To use PayPal in Google Pay you need an Android device (including phones, tablets, watches, and other personal mobile devices) ("Devices") which has been set up for Google Pay.

3. Eligibility

You may use any German PayPal account in Google Pay, subject to our (and Google Pay’s) discretion based on risk and compliance rules and subject to the PayPal User Agreement and other applicable policies.

To use PayPal in Google Pay, an appropriate bank account must have been successfully added as a Verified (as defined in section 10.7.2 of the User Agreement) funding instrument attached to your PayPal account.

4. Integrating PayPal in Google Pay – Virtual Debit Card

We will issue you with a virtual card (a Mastercard consumer debit card) that enables you to use PayPal in Google Pay. The only purpose of this card is to enable you to use PayPal in Google Pay in stores or with merchants who do not have a PayPal account. This card will be issued free of charge. It is a virtual representation of your PayPal account in Google Pay.

5. Authorisation of Transactions

You authorize payments with PayPal in Google Pay by

unlocking and placing your Device near a merchant's contactless-enabled point-of-sale terminal or reader (and entering a PIN in case we ask you to do so); or
initiating the payment online in Google Pay by clicking on “Pay” or a similar button.

You cannot cancel payments which you have already authorized and to which the payee already consented to. Further details are contained in sections 4.1 and 4.8 of the User Agreement.

6. Your Payment Obligation

When you use PayPal in Google Pay for a transaction, i.e. give a payment order, you are obliged to reimburse the transaction amount to us.

To this end, you authorize us to debit the respective amount from your PayPal balance.

To the extent that there is no or an insufficient balance available to fund such transaction, you hereby authorize PayPal to draw the amount from your bank account via direct debit, to credit this amount in your PayPal balance and to use it immediately for the payment with PayPal in Google Pay.

This means we will prioritize your PayPal balance for a payment with PayPal in Google Pay and only draw the amount from your bank account via direct debit to the extent that the balance is insufficient.

7. No Use of Your Non-Euro-balance

It is possible to maintain balances in different currencies in your PayPal account. However, balances in currencies other than EUR (that were in your PayPal account prior to the transaction) will not be used to fulfil our payment obligation pursuant to section 6.

Example: You have a US dollar balance in your PayPal account. If you make a payment to a merchant in the US using PayPal in Google Pay, we will not use this US dollar balance. We will only use your Euro balance and possibly the euro amount which we pull from your bank account via direct debit for the payment. The Euro balance/Euro amount will be converted to US dollars.

8. Execution Times

The payment is initiated by the payee, namely the merchant.

If we receive the payment order on a business day after 4 pm CET, then the payment order is deemed to be received on the next business day. Execution times (as defined below) only start running at the point of time that a payment order is deemed to be received.

After receipt of the payment order with PayPal, PayPal is obliged to ensure that the transaction amount is received by the payment service provider of the payment service recipient at the latest as follows:

Type of payment with PayPal in Google Pay	Execution times
Payments in euro within the European Economic Area	No longer than one business day
Payments in a different currency of the European Economic Area other than euro within the European Economic Area	No longer than four business days
Payments outside of the European Economic Area regardless of the currency	The payment is executed as soon as possible.

9. Your Payment Order

When you make a payment with PayPal in Google Pay, you give us a payment order to process the payment:

with the virtual debit card (the recipient receiving the payment in a bank account); or
without the virtual debit card within our own payment network (the recipient receiving the payment in a PayPal account).

PayPal chooses between the two procedures for each payment.

10. Cash Withdrawals

PayPal in Google Pay enables you to withdraw cash provided a merchant offers this possibility and subject, among other requirements, to limits which PayPal and Google may set. It is not possible to withdraw cash with PayPal in Google Pay at an ATM. Section 6 and 7 of these Terms apply by analogy.

11. Fees

We do not charge a fee for using your PayPal Account for transactions with PayPal in Google Pay.

However, if a direct debit payment fails or is reversed, we are entitled to damages subject to the conditions in the PayPal User Agreement.

In case the payment with PayPal in Google Pay involves a currency conversion, Mastercard’s foreign exchange rates will be applied. The exchange rate that is applied will usually be the rate on the date that the transaction was authorized. However, in certain circumstances, the exchange rate that is applied may be the rate on the date when the transaction is processed by Mastercard’s systems which may be different to the exchange rate on the date of the transaction. PayPal does not charge currency conversion fees. Please see Mastercard Currency Conversion Calculator for Mastercard’s rates. Currency conversion charges as a percentage mark-up over reference rates issued by the European Central Bank can be found here.
