PayPal is a paying method valid in many of our markets to purchase at Rakuten TV, as you can do with your credit card.
You can pay using PayPal for your transactions in every device where Rakuten TV manages the payment: Web, Smart TVs, Android tablets and smartphones.
You can check if PayPal is currently available in your country simply by checking if that option appears to you.
We are working to add the PayPal option in all the countries where we operate.
