Why Can't I Add a Card to Apple Pay?
Certain users will find it hard to add their PayPal card to Apple Pay. One of the reasons is that the bank or card is not supported by the system. As such, make sure that your PayPal Debit Card is eligible for use on Apple Pay. It is also advisable to upgrade both the Apple Wallet and PayPal apps to the latest versions so that the apps are compatible.
PayPal's Rewards Program was Expanded
In addition to integrating PayPal into Apple Pay, PayPal has even expanded its rewards program.
