Home Depot has been partnering with PayPal since 2012, and they’ve tested a few different methods for accepting payments over the years. As of the present, Home Depot accepts PayPal payments online, in app, and in store.
When shopping on HomeDepot.com or in the Home Depot app, you will have the option of selecting PayPal as your desired payment method during the checkout process. However, if you are shopping at a Home Depot store location, you will need to either pay with a physical PayPal Cash Card or use Samsung Pay to route your payment through PayPal.
The only way to make a digital wallet payment through PayPal at a Home Depot store is to link your PayPal account to your Samsung Pay account. Then, you can use the Samsung Pay app on your Samsung phone to authorize a payment through PayPal at Home Depot.

Benefits Of Using PayPal At Home Depot
Paying with PayPal has many benefits, so we’ll go over just a few here.
The main benefits of paying with PayPal when shopping at Home Depot include:
- Secure shopping – By paying with PayPal, you can be sure that your card and account information are encrypted and protected, so you never have to give your information directly to Home Depot.
- No need to grab your wallet – Especially when shopping online, PayPal is a super convenient way to shop without ever having to pull out your wallet or type in your card information. With just a few clicks, you’ll be all paid up and ready to go. And if you’re shopping in person, you still won’t need your wallet to pay for your Home Depot purchases as long as you have your Samsung smartphone with you.
- Track your transaction history – By using PayPal, you’ll have a permanent and searchable record of all of your transactions, whether you make your purchases in person or online.
Types Of PayPal Accounts
Regardless of what type of PayPal account you have, you should be able to use it as a valid form of payment when shopping at Home Depot.
There are three types of PayPal accounts, including:
- Personal account
- Business account
- PayPal Payments Pro account
Keep in mind, though, that PayPal Payments Pro is a transaction processing service that functions differently from a standard PayPal account. So, you will still need to have either a personal or a business account to be able to actually make purchases.
How To Use PayPal At Home Depot?
If you’d like to pay for your Home Depot purchases using PayPal, you can do this in a variety of ways, including:
- Pay with a PayPal Cash Card or Cashback Mastercard at any register, including self checkout, or online at HomeDepot.com or in the Home Depot app (these can be used just like any other credit or debit card)
- Go contactless by linking your PayPal account to your Samsung Pay account and paying for your in-store purchases with your smartphone
- Shop online at HomeDepot.com or in the Home Depot app using PayPal Credit, PayPal’s buy now, pay later program, or just your standard PayPal account
How To Add Money To Your PayPal Account
When using PayPal, you don’t actually need to add money into your account in order to make purchases. All you have to do is link a credit card, debit card, or bank account, then PayPal will use your selected payment method to process your purchases and payments.
To add a payment method to your PayPal account, follow these steps:
- Create or log in to your PayPal account through paypal.com or the PayPal app
- From the top menu, select “Wallet”
- From here, select “Link a card or bank”
- Select which payment type you would like to link to your PayPal account
- Follow the prompts for the payment method you selected
- Once your card or account is successfully linked, you will be able to start making payments through your PayPal account instantly
However, if you’d still like to add money into your PayPal wallet, you can do so in a few different ways.
The easiest way to add money to your PayPal account is through PayPal.com or through the PayPal app. To add money using either of these platforms, follow these steps:
- Log in to your PayPal account through the PayPal app or through PayPal.com from your smartphone (PayPal no longer allows users to add money to their accounts through PayPal.com when using a laptop of desktop computer)
- From PayPal.com, click on the dropdown menu using the symbol in the upper left hand corner
- Select “Wallet”
- Click on your PayPal balance (in the PayPal app, your balance will appear on the home screen)
- Select “Transfer Money” (in app, click on “PayPal balance”)
- Select “Add money to your balance” (in app, click “Add money”)
- From here, you will need to have at least one bank account or card linked in order to add money to your account (in the app, you will also be given the option to add cash or check, which you can do by visiting a Walmart Money Services Center)
- Select the account or card from which you’d like to transfer money
- Type in amount you’d like to add
- Press “Done”
- Select “Next” to confirm
- Click “Add amount” to verify
- Transfers typically take 3-5 business days to show up in your account

How does Home Depot refund PayPal?
If you return an item to Home Depot that you paid for using your PayPal account, the payment will be refunded directly to your PayPal account.

In person, you can make a contactless payment with PayPal if you have a Samsung Phone equipped with the Samsung Pay app.
