PayPal

Want to send or request money using only your voice? Now you can with the PayPal skill on Alexa. With the PayPal skill, we’re making it easier than ever to check your PayPal balance, and send or request money from friends using nothing more than your voice.

To get started, enable the skill, link your PayPal account, and select your default way to pay. For added security, you will need to create a 4-digit pin during setup that Alexa will ask for whenever you open the skill.

Once you’ve enabled the skill, simply say “Alexa, Open PayPal.” From there, Alexa can help you send and request money to and from your top PayPal contacts, as well as check your balance. Try saying the following commands:

To check your balance, simple say “What’s my balance” once the app is open.

“To Send Money, say “Send Money” once the skill is open. You can also try by saying the full command from the start, such as “Alexa, ask PayPal to Send $5 to Sam.”

To Request Money, say “Request Money” once the skill is open. You can also try saying the full command from the start, such as “Alexa, ask PayPal to Request $5 from Sam.”

To make the skill more useful, you will need to either send or request money to your contacts, or you can easily import contacts by visiting https://www.paypal.com/skills/setting


Note: We waive all fees when you send money domestically using your PayPal balance or bank account. Standard fees apply when sending using debit or credit cards.
