PayPal is running a marketing campaign to encourage customers to use PayPal at checkout. It includes TV commercials featuring comedian Will Ferrell promoting a new $10 million sweepstakes.
“PayPal has been transforming checkout to make paying with PayPal fast, easy, and even more rewarding both online and in-store,” the company said in its announcement.
Updates to checkout include the ability to login using biometrics and faster page-load times. “Now, PayPal, one of the most ubiquitous leaders in checkout, is further enhancing the experience and giving customers broad choice and flexibility with added features for users to pay now or pay later,” the company stated.
PayPal is giving away up to $10 million as part of its “Great PayPal Checkout” sweepstakes. “Every day for 100 days, 1,000 lucky winners will have their purchases of up to $100 covered simply by paying with PayPal Checkout.”
In addition, PayPal said it was one of the top global Buy Now Pay Later options and said, “We’re now also offering customers pre-qualified spending amounts when using Pay in 4 to help them decide how much to apply for. Plus, tap-to-pay with PayPal Debit Mastercard® in mobile wallets lets customers earn cash back on up to $1,000 spent in their selected category each month – including on a new Rideshare and Public Transit category option.”
