Set up and use PayPal in Samsung Pay

You can now access your PayPal account when using Samsung Wallet, which means you can make in-store purchases with your PayPal balance or cards. Money can be stored in your PayPal account as well, so you can use it later when you're out shopping. If you don't have one already, you'll need to set up a PayPal account to use this feature.
