Apple TV 4K is the only Apple device I have. I want to use PayPal as payment method for Apple TV+ subscription, PayPal as default payment method in my Apple account in general, and PayPal as the only payment method in my Apple account. I can't figure out how to add PayPal to any of those. Would I need an another Apple device to make that happen?
 
Sign into your account on the Apple website and you can add PayPal as a payment option.
 
I can't find option to add payment method when using Firefox or Chrome. Online guides say that Apple device must be used to add PayPal as payment option.
 
Strange, I’m using safari on my iPhone, but assumed it would be available on the site for anyone not using an Apple device, clicking on the menu button:

Try tv.apple.com from non-Apple device?

iTunes on a PC or Android?

(guessing, as no ATV box or PayPal)
 
Another way, possibly: does PayPal still offer virtual credit card numbers? I used those a bit back some (ok a lot of) years ago and it was a nice workaround for sites where PayPal wasn't accepted.

I don't recall seeing a PayPal for virtual credit card #s and I've been using a Canadian PayPal account for many years. My USA PayPal account is about 4 years old and I don't see it there either.

That was a handy feature, it was called PayPal Key (at least in its most recent iteration) and it has recently been discontinued.

Last time I checked, PayPal was still available under “Payment & Shipping” in the Apple ID area. Try signing into your iCloud account. You should have one, even if you don’t actively use it.
