How do I pay at the pump with PayPal?

Here is how to pay at the pump using your mobile device:

1. Tap Payments.
2. Tap Pay at pump.
3. Choose a gas station and get directions

When you arrive at the gas station, you'll be prompted to enter the pump number to get started.  You will then verify your payment method to start fueling.

Why was my fuel purchase declined?

Your fuel purchase can decline for various reasons:

You need to use an alternative payment method — If you only have one payment method linked to PayPal and it's declined, you can add another one (your debit or credit card or your bank account) and retry your payment.

You can update your Automatic Payments settings — Many of PayPal's largest fuel partners use PayPal Automatic Payments to speed up purchases. You can quickly change the way you pay and retry your payment.

The card linked to PayPal is expired or out of date — If the card you have on file doesn't have your current billing address or is expired, it will decline. You can update your card's expiration and/or your billing address quickly and easily in PayPal.

You don't have a funding source linked to PayPal — You can add your debit or credit card or your bank account to PayPal in just a few clicks.

You may need to add money to PayPal — If you're using a PayPal balance as a funding source and don't have enough money to cover the payment, add money to PayPal.

Your card issuer declined the card you wanted to use for this payment — Call them to identify the problem. To protect your privacy, your debit or credit card company or card issuer doesn't tell PayPal why your card declines. If you can still use your card, retry your payment.
