Transferring money from PayPal to GCash is a very convenient way to obtain your hard-earned money online. The good thing about cash in via PayPal is that there is no transfer fee. Your current PayPal balance which is in Philippine Peso or PHP is exactly what you will get when you cash in.


I am earning money from different advertisers online and they are sending me money via PayPal which is very easy to cash in to GCash and withdraw using my bank account which is also connected to GCash.


For this tutorial, I will show you how to do this, but first, you must do first the given tutorials below in the Requirements. Why do I need to do this? Because, you can't just transfer money from PayPal to GCash with a single press of a button. You first need to do the following:


Requirements to be able to transfer money from PayPal to GCash


  • You first need to convert your PayPal money to PHP or Philippine peso.
    • GCash won't accept cash in other denominations like US dollars, Yen, Pounds, etc.
    • So, if your PayPal money is not yet in PHP then, you need to convert it first.
    • Do this tutorial: HOW TO CONVERT USD TO PHP IN PAYPAL.
    • Skip this tutorial if your money is already in PHP.
  • When done with the conversion, you need to link your PayPal to GCash.

Assuming that you already done the given to tutorials below, then continue doing the steps below.
