Here’s my story: I’ve been trying to find information on how to top up my Paypal using different credit cards services but there is no real online guide on how to top up your Paypal account. There’s also no guide on how to put money on Paypal if you are in the Philippines. Well I decided to help my fellow web professionals by creating a simple guide.
Can I transfer funds from GCash to Paypal? Yes you can, all you need is to follow this guide. GCash is a MasterCard and if you have Paypal linked to it, you can add another Paypal and link that to the same GCash MasterCard for fund transfers. I’ve seen the internet give the wrong answer this query so I decided to create a guide to help everyone in the Philippines. Do I hear SEO hero?
How To Transfer Funds From Gcash To Paypal
This Guide is divided in to three parts:
- What You Need to top up your Paypal using GCash
- Ultimate Guide to topping up your GCash
- How to top up your Paypal using GCash
What You will Need to Top Up Your Paypal using GCash:
- Cash
- Verified GCash Master Card associated with verified Paypal email
- Another Email Address
- A Cellphone with the GCash App installed, Paypal installed
- A laptop or desktop for easier Paypal navigation
- GCash or 711 Cliqq Kiosk
Okay lets pretend you want to buy an item online and you are in the Philippines. The website only accepts Paypal so here’s what you do.
Create an account on the website and go to checkout to see the total amount you have to pay for.
Okay Let’s say the amount is $47.99. Remember that amount and quickly login to your Paypal using a cellphone or laptop. I want to feel good when I do technical SEO and link building for clients so I need this in my office. I have two Paypal emails: sam22sam@yahoo.com(primary) and michaelglen@gmail.com(secondary). Let’s start with sam22sam@yahoo.com(call this Primary Paypal).
My primary account only has $39.99 I need more money so I need to go to a 711 to find a Cliqq or Gcash Kiosk so I can add money to my account that is tied to this Paypal Email.
I will make a quick run to a convenience store with my money and phone so I can top up my GCash so I can use it for Paypal.
Sadly the GCash Kiosk is unavailable so I move on to the next convenience store.
Aha! 711 has a CliQQ kiosk. This will Work.
Here’s the Ultimate Guide to topping up your GCash or simply adding money to GCash via Cliqq kiosk.
Go to the Cliqq Kiosk Select E-Money.
Select GCash.
Select Gcash Cash in.
Input Your Phone number and amount you wish to top up.
Click on Next and print the barcode or simply take a picture using your cellphone.
Go to the counter and present your pictures or printed barcodes.
Verify that the information is correct and pay the lovely lady.
Check your phone for a message that verifies the transaction.
Check your GCash App.
Keep in mind that Kiosks have a Php 10,000 transfer limit per transaction.
Make sure you keep the receipt for taxation purposes – hahaha! Because reasons.
Now that we have money in the bank, we can now proceed with topping up our Paypal using GCash.
How To Top Up Your Paypal using GCash
Login to your GCash App to check the available amount
Login to primary Paypal account, in my case sam22sam@yahoo.com.
Create an invoice
Address the invoice to secondary account which in my case is michaelglen@gmail.com.
Input the amount and details.
Send the invoice.
Logout of your primary Paypal Email.
Login to your secondary Paypal Email.
Select the new invoice and pay via debit or credit card. My GCash is a MasterCard so I will select MasterCard.
Click on Pay invoice.
Wait for confirmation.
Check your confirmation message or check GCash to see if the amount was deducted.
Logout of your secondary Paypal email.
Login to the Primary Paypal email to see the amount.
There you go, a no bullshit guide to topping up your Paypal through GCash.
You can skip the Kiosk card if you have online banking in which case you just need to transfer money to GCASH then proceed with Paypal to create the invoice.
Can I send money from GCash to PayPal?
No you cannot send money to Paypal using your Gcash app. And Yes you can, you need to to have two Paypal accounts and a GCash account to execute this. You willl need to send an invoice from Paypal account one to Paypal account two(GCash linked) and pay the invoice using Credit Card or debit card since GCash is a debit card. Follow the steops above in order to execute this.
How do I Put Money In My PayPal Account?
Get a credit or debit card and link it Paypal. In this example I used GCash which is Master Card Debit Card. Just Link it with Paypal, make sure both GCash and Paypal are verified then send and invoice to you debit card. Pay it with the debit card and the funds should get transferred with no problems to your Paypal.
How do I deposit money into my PayPal account?
- You must have two Paypal accounts and one Paypal account must be linked to your GCash account.
- Go to a 711 Cliqq Kiosk and load the amount.
- Send an invoice from your first Paypal account to your second Paypal account(Linked to GCash).
- Pay the invoice using credit or debit card details.
Now all I have to do is wait for that amazing jacket so I can use it for link building or simply while playing Gundam Battle Operation 2. It is the closest thing to a jumpsuit for my Gunner Gundam. Til then, Build Links and Shoot Straight!

26 Jul 2020 - 2:48 pmHi po, may question po ako, i have paypal account with GcashMasterCard and also Virtual Amex that’s also from GcashMC that is linked already to my paypal, my question is why do i need another email for another paypal account? Does the secondary email needs to be linked also to my gcash? I think only one paypal acc can be linked in gcash, dito lng sa step ako nalito dahil nag pay invoice using secondary account tapos pano ung pag send ng fund to your primary paypal? Nkalinked ba rin ung gcash sa secondary paypal acc?

13 Aug 2020 - 12:39 amIf you have two Paypal accounts then they have have 1 email assigned to each. You can also try to assign 1 card per account. That’s what I do.

25 Jan 2020 - 5:46 amHi mr Michael,
I have a question, I think I did not fully understand this one but:
How can I add gcash to my paypal account? In your post you said that your gcash is a master card…
doesn’t it mean that you paid using your mastercard? and not Gcash
swatspam
23 May 2020 - 5:42 pmGCASH is the online service and it uses Mastercard to make transactions possible.

09 Mar 2020 - 5:56 pmBrilliant but I have 1 question.
Once you make an invoice it means you have a sale or a transaction that you made money and paypal will charge you fees. And so, did paypal charge you a fee for the transaction?
swatspam
23 May 2020 - 5:20 pmNo since we transferred money to Paypal. If you are transferring money from Paypal then there will be charges.

19 Sep 2020 - 6:02 pmhello, I’m just curious though, since you used a gcash mastercard in paying for the invoice, does it have any fees or charges? coz normally with paypal, if you’re not paying thru cash and use a credit card connected to it, they usually charge like 1% of the total amount if I’m not mistaken.
swatspam
22 Sep 2020 - 10:32 pmYes invoices always have charges

11 May 2020 - 4:31 ami don’t have a gcash mastercard, only the account itself on the mobile app. Is it still possible to put money on my paypal account?
swatspam
22 May 2020 - 6:07 pmGet a mastercard/credit card/debit card that you can verify with gcash or link to paypal. That’s the only way for now.

21 May 2020 - 4:40 pmpaano po maglagay ng pera sa paypal via 711?
swatspam
22 May 2020 - 4:50 pmYou will need Gcash. You need to have a verified GCash account and use the Cliqq machine on 711. Make sure your Gcash account is linked to your Paypal.
Follow the steps above and that should work.

31 May 2020 - 4:49 pmThis secondary account is the same with the Primary account right? or is it different with the primary one? . Because in my case I have 2 emails under Primary account, one is the primary and one is the secondary email.

We’re sorry. Your MASTERCARD-5277 can’t be used for this purchase. Please link a different card to complete your payment.
Please help.

22 Sep 2020 - 10:54 pmOkay so you are purchasing something online on a diffferent website?
Nothing to do with this post right? Not on paypal not on GCash?

22 Sep 2020 - 10:39 pmSounds like a FB problem but you should still be able to link your Paypal or GCash in FB as a payment option. FB accepts Paypal so…

14 Jan 2021 - 9:15 pmtwo things:
Unverified accounts or fishy transactions.
Usually Paypal has a helpdesk that will andwer your questions.
I once paid for a url that had the word isis in it and Paypal placed that transaction on-hold and under investigation.
