PayPal usage either for online payments or at POS in Canada from 2018 to 2nd quarter 2026

PayPal adoption in Canada was slightly higher in mid-2026 than it was a year earlier, remaining a popular solution for consumers. Among respondents who had used mobile or online payment services in the past 12 months, around ** percent reported using PayPal as of mid-2026. Measured against the total respondent base, including non-users of digital payments, this corresponded to around ** percent. The data come from Statista’s Consumer Insights and reflect the share of respondents who said they had used PayPal in the past 12 months. Up to 2024, this metric was derived from two separate questions that distinguished between PayPal use for online payments and for in-store, restaurant, or other point-of-sale transactions made with a smartphone. From 2025 onward, the survey switched to a single question on payment services used in the past 12 months, without separating online and in-store use.
