What PayPal Method Should I Choose?

That boils down to the gas stations in your area. Look online for their locations to see which stores fit your convenience. 80% of the gas stations that take some form of Paypal use Samsung Pay. Samsung phone users benefit the most from gas convenience of all other plans: consider switching to Samsung. 

Downloading the larger gas company’s apps is another fantastic choice. All the big corporations have apps on multiple devices for ease of convenience. Check your “Apple” and “Android” app stores for which apps fit with the stores in your local area. 

In Conclusion

While only two gas station companies let you pay with the Paypal App directly, there are multiple companies offering solutions. Whether through phone plans or phone applications on the app store, thousands of gas stations can take some form of Paypal.
