How to Pay with Third-Party Payment Providers
You can pay for most items on Staples.com using third-party payment providers PayPal, Apple Pay and Klarna.
To pay for a qualifying order using your third-party payment account, simply select the button for the method you’d like use on the Cart page or at Checkout. You will be redirected to the third-party payment site. Once your address and payment method are confirmed, you’ll be directed back to our Staples Checkout page to finish placing your order.
Note: If your preferred payment method is not displayed, items on your order do not qualify for that payment method.
Third-party payment providers manage and process their own transactions. If you have trouble paying using a third-party payment method, reach out to the third-party’s payment support using the applicable link below or select a different payment method (if available).

- In combination with other online purchase payment options including Credit Cards, Gift Cards and Pre-paid cards.
- In store.
- As a payment method to place orders via telephone.
- To purchase Gift Cards and Pre-paid cards.
