Google Wallet will soon no longer let you pay with your PayPal account in the US. On a help center page spotted by Android Authority, Google says it will stop supporting the payment method and automatically delete linked PayPal accounts on June 13th, 2025.
Google Wallet is losing access to PayPal
If you have a PayPal account linked to Google Wallet, you’ll need to swap to a credit or debit card instead.

The company has also stopped letting users link PayPal accounts to Wallet as of April 11th. Now, users who previously relied on PayPal to quickly connect their payment methods with Google Wallet will have to manually add a credit card, debit card, or bank information if they want to keep using the app.
PayPal first announced that it would no longer let users link their accounts to wallets in an update last year. “PayPal is constantly evolving our offerings to deliver smart, flexible, and more rewarding ways to pay,” PayPal spokesperson Taylor Watson said in a statement to The Verge. “At this time, customers looking to use PayPal as a payment method in their Google and Samsung Wallets will need to add their PayPal Debit Mastercard.”
Users will still be able to check out with their PayPal account on the Google Play Store and other Google services. But if you use a linked PayPal account for recurring payments, Google says you’ll need to change your payment method on the merchant’s website to keep using the service. Google Wallet will also no longer display your PayPal transaction history, which you’ll now have to view on PayPal’s website or app. Google Wallet’s PayPal integration will still work for users in Germany.
PayPal first rolled out support for Google Wallet — then called Android Pay — in 2017. Its rival digital wallet also continues to evolve, with the PayPal app adding tap-to-pay on iPhones in Germany and rolling out a way for groups to pool money.
