Availability of PayPal in China

The Service
PayPal is a global online payments system offering payments for ecommerce, P2P transfers, invoicing, subscriptions, and merchant services. Its APIs and SDKs support web and mobile apps, and it connects to buyer and seller financial instruments globally.
Availability in China
PayPal services in China are accessible for outbound payments (Chinese users can send payments abroad), but QR-code based domestic receipt is limited. Withdrawals into Chinese bank accounts require linking foreign currency bank accounts, and domestic Remittance services are limited. PayPal’s website loads slower and occasionally connections fail. Chinese users preferring foreign transactions can use PayPal, but domestic receipt via Alipay/WeChat remains more common, so apps often offer both.

The information regarding service availability in China is provided for general reference purposes only. Due to the dynamic nature of network conditions and regulatory environments, the actual accessibility of these services may vary over time and by location.
