Quarterly PayPal penetration, online or offline, in the UK 2018-2024
PayPal adoption for online shopping in the United Kingdom (UK) declined in 2024 when compared to early 2020, although it remained a popular payment option for consumers. This is according to two different questions asked throughout multiple surveys from Statista's Consumer Insights. The numbers shown here refer to the share of respondents who indicated they used PayPal in the last 12 months, either for POS transactions with a mobile device in stores and restaurants or for online shopping. Three out of 10 respondents from the UK indicated they had used PayPal in a POS setting between July 2023 and June 2024 - with an additional eight out of 10 saying they used PayPal during this same time for online payments.
