Holiday Shopping Tips from PayPal

In addition to the chance to win every time customers spend or donate £10 or more with PayPal this holiday season, there are a number of other ways to shop smart with PayPal this year:

• Give at Checkout: Want to give back while shopping this holiday season? PayPal’s Give at Checkout feature allows customers to give micro-donations of just $1 when they check out with PayPal, an easy way to give back to causes.
• Split payments with Pay in 3 from PayPal: Pay in 3 is a credit product that gives eligible customers the choice to split purchases into three equal amounts. Those wishing to buy festive gifts or simply replace worn-out winter jackets, can now spread the cost into smaller payments. For product terms and more information, visit www.paypal.com/uk/payin3.
• Shop safely and securely: Customers should do all they can to protect themselves against scams, phishing, and other security issues while shopping online. The PayPal wallet securely stores credit card, debit card, and bank account information in one place so customers can safely pay at millions of retailers around the world without sharing full financial information.
