Quick answer

Amazon does not accept PayPal or Google Pay at checkout in Europe, and Apple Pay is also not available at European Amazon storefronts. The most reliable workaround is buying an Amazon gift card with PayPal from Dundle or Startselect, adding the code to your account, and using the balance at checkout. A PayPal Debit Mastercard also works directly on Amazon where available.

Two Ways to Use PayPal on Amazon in Europe

Amazon does not accept PayPal at checkout. This applies to Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.nl, Amazon.es, Amazon.it, and all other European Amazon storefronts. Two methods let you spend your PayPal balance on Amazon purchases in Europe.

Method 1: Buy an Amazon gift card with PayPal. Purchase a digital Amazon gift card from Dundle or Startselect, pay with PayPal, and receive the code by email within seconds. Add the code to your Amazon account and use the balance at checkout. This works across all European markets where PayPal is active.

Method 2: Use a PayPal Debit Mastercard. PayPal issues a physical debit Mastercard in several European countries. Since Amazon accepts Mastercard, this card works directly at checkout with no gift card step needed. Check your PayPal app under Cards and banks to see if a debit card is available in your country.

Amazon gift cards are region-specific. A card for Amazon.de can only be redeemed on Amazon.de, not on Amazon.fr or Amazon.nl. Always buy the card for the correct regional store.

Does Amazon Accept Google Pay or Apple Pay?

Amazon does not accept Google Pay. Amazon operates its own payment infrastructure and has not integrated Google Pay at checkout on any of its European storefronts.

Apple Pay is also not available at Amazon checkout in Europe. Neither Amazon.de nor Amazon.fr has a native Apple Pay button as of 2026. You can add an Apple Card to your Amazon account as a standard credit card, but that bypasses Apple Pay rather than using it. If you want to use Google Pay or Apple Pay for Amazon purchases, the route is to buy an Amazon gift card from Dundle or Startselect, both of which accept these wallet methods, and redeem the gift card on your Amazon account.

Step-by-Step: Buy an Amazon Gift Card with PayPal

The gift card method works for all PayPal users in Europe with no prior setup.

Step 1: Choose a retailer

Dundle and Startselect both sell Amazon gift cards across Europe and accept PayPal. Codes are delivered by email, typically within seconds of payment confirmation.

Step 2: Select the correct Amazon store and amount

Choose the store that matches your Amazon account: Amazon.de for Germany and Austria, Amazon.fr for France, Amazon.nl for the Netherlands, Amazon.es for Spain, Amazon.it for Italy. Select your amount; most retailers offer denominations from €5 to €100 per card.

Step 3: Pay with PayPal

At checkout on the gift card retailer site, select PayPal. You are redirected to log in and authorise the payment. Payment is drawn from your PayPal balance, a linked bank account, or a linked card.

Step 4: Redeem the code on Amazon

Your code arrives by email. On Amazon, go to Gift cards in your account settings, enter the code, and the balance loads immediately. Select Amazon balance as your payment method at checkout.

Fees and Limits

PayPal charges no fee for same-currency purchases within the EEA (PayPal, 2026). If your PayPal balance is in a different currency from the gift card denomination, a conversion fee applies. A Swiss franc PayPal account buying euro cards is the most common example. A euro PayPal balance avoids this cost.

Most retailers offer Amazon gift cards from €5 to €100. You can buy multiple cards per session and combine the balances on your Amazon account. There is no platform-imposed limit on quantity per transaction.

Amazon balances are not transferable between regional stores. If you shop on both Amazon.de and Amazon.fr, you need a separate gift card for each store.
