Google Wallet is ending support for PayPal accounts in the US. Starting June 13, users will no longer be able to use their linked PayPal accounts to make online or contactless payments, Google says in a support page.
Google Wallet stopped allowing new PayPal account integrations on April 11. Once the support officially ends, all previously added PayPal accounts will be automatically removed from the app. Users won’t be able to see previous PayPal transaction history, either, according to The Verge. They’ll have to rely on the PayPal website or app for that.
If you have any recurring payments or subscriptions set up using your PayPal account on Google Wallet, you must immediately update the payment method on those services to avoid any disruptions, Google warns.
Additionally, with PayPal support ending, you must have at least one card added to your Google account to continue making payments with Google Pay. You can add a credit card, debit card, or other banking information.
Notably, the move only affects PayPal accounts and not PayPal-branded debit cards. Wallet users can continue to add and use those cards for quick payments.

Google Wallet will also continue to support PayPal integration in Germany. The reason behind the selective treatment, however, is unclear.
As noted by Android Authority, PayPal recently updated its Android and iOS apps to allow contactless payments in Germany. There’s a possibility that PayPal ended the Google Wallet integration in the US because it’s planning to launch a similar feature in the country, the report adds.
