No, Costco does not take PayPal as a payment method.
Costco primarily accepts major credit cards, debit cards, and its own Costco Cash Card. PayPal is not included in their list of accepted forms of payment.
However, you can use PayPal indirectly by linking it to a Mastercard or Visa. This allows you to shop at Costco while using your PayPal balance. Be aware that this may not be straightforward, as it requires setting up the payment method through your PayPal account.
For in-store purchases, it’s best to carry an accepted credit or debit card to avoid any inconvenience. If you’re shopping online, check if your linked card can complete the transaction.
Some members have suggested using PayPal’s virtual card feature, which generates a temporary card number linked to your PayPal account. This can work at Costco’s online checkout if you have a compatible card.
If you’re looking for convenience, consider using Costco’s mobile app, which offers various payment options that might suit your needs better.
