Buy Stellar (XLM) with PayPal
Use PayPal to check a XLM purchase on Stellar. Review the provider’s PayPal checkout, its funding source and the external receiving wallet before authorizing payment.
How do I buy XLM with PayPal?
Select the PayPal option attached to the current provider offer. Check the actual funding source and any separate currency-conversion or issuer charge before authorizing the payment.
- In your Crypto Dispensers account, select Stellar (XLM) and confirm Stellar as the receiving network.
- Enter your amount and actual state. Choose PayPal only if the provider returns it for those details.
- Review the complete PayPal charge, estimated XLM received and receiving wallet before authorizing payment.
What will I receive?
XLM, or lumens, is Stellar’s native asset used for account reserves and transaction fees. Issued assets such as Stellar USDC are separate balances.
| Asset | Stellar (XLM) |
|---|---|
| Receiving network | Stellar |
| Entry to select in your account | Stellar (XLM) |
| Additional receiving field | Memo when required by your receiving platform |
Check the asset you will receive outside the PayPal funding account
Use an XLM receiving selection and keep any required memo with the address. For issued assets, separately check the issuer and any trustline requirement at the receiving wallet.
This flow uses PayPal to fund a provider purchase. It does not establish that the selected crypto will be held in PayPal’s own crypto product. The receiving wallet and network remain part of the provider order.
Which wallet and network should I use?
Keep any hosted-platform memo with the Stellar receiving address. For an issued asset such as USDC, confirm the correct issuer and whether the receiving account needs a trustline.
Stellar accounts use XLM for fees and reserve requirements. The total asset balance and spendable balance can differ when reserves or receiving conditions apply.
The catalog lists an additional Memo field. If your receiving platform supplies one, copy it with the address and confirm the provider’s requirement. Do not guess a value or replace it with a private key.
How much will the purchase cost?
Compare the same total US dollar spend across current offers and use the estimated XLM delivered to your wallet as the comparison. Check provider fees, the exchange rate and any separate funding-source charge. A network fee may already be included in the quote; read the breakdown before adding it again.
Why might PayPal be missing?
Check the offer in your Crypto Dispensers account. A coin available through a provider’s PayPal option is not automatically a coin supported inside PayPal’s own crypto balance.
The PayPal option appeared in a read-only MoonPay check for Stellar (XLM) in Illinois on November 12, 2026. That check used a $1,000 purchase amount. Your state, amount, account and current provider quote determine your actual options.
US account and provider checks apply. New purchases are unavailable in Georgia, Nevada and Washington State. New York requires an eligible Changelly offer for the exact purchase.

How do I check delivery?
Keep both the PayPal payment record and the provider order reference. Use the provider’s delivery status when checking an external crypto wallet.
What if the payment is pending?
Keep the provider order reference, PayPal payment confirmation and receiving-network details. Check the existing order before attempting another payment. If the wallet is missing a balance, compare its selected network with Stellar and ask for help through the provider’s verified support channel.
