PayPal as default payment method

You should offer PayPal as a default payment method and allow automated monthly payments from a pre-authorised PayPal account.

    Hi all,
    This is not something we're able to pursue right now. It may be something we consider for the future, but for now I'm going to close this idea.

    We can't use it as a recurring payment method, it would be good as Paypal can be used with bank accounts and credit cards

    Hi Mark,

    May I ask what type of account you’ve with IBM Cloud today, if any? We do support PayPal payments on US$ PAYG accounts. Thanks.

    Regards
