In case you don’t know how to do it, we are going to show you how to pay with PayPal in the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

How to make payments with PayPal

Making payments with PayPal in the App Store is very easy. Users who already have an Apple ID can select PayPal as a payment method from the settings section of their account in the App Store from an iPhone, an iPad, or a Mac, or also in iTunes, from their computer.

Once PayPal is selected as the payment method, all purchases you make with the same Apple ID will be automatically charged to the associated PayPal account.
