What are PayPal plans?

You can use PayPal to set up recurring payments for various plans such as Netflix, Spotify, Uber Eats, Roku, and more. As long as you have the money, you can use your PayPal balance to pay for these apps and services. If you don’t have a balance, PayPal will instead use a linked bank account, debit card, or credit card to make the payment.
