What is a direct debit and how do I update or cancel one?
An automatic payment, also known as a subscription, billing agreement, or recurring payment, authorises a merchant to charge you without signing in to your PayPal account. This is something that sets up on your first checkout with the merchant. The terms of the authorisation will be available in your PayPal account. For more information on direct debits, please visit our user agreement.
Here’s how to find your direct debit payments on the PayPal website:
- Go to Account Settings.
- Click Payment Preferences.
- Click Manage Automatic Payments.

On this page, you can cancel the direct debit and change the backup funding source.
