Many of us don’t want online stores to save our credit card data into their systems. Yet as parents we still want to be able to shop the best deals for our kids – just safely. Here I show you how you can do that with PayPal.
Further below is a list of trendy yet affordable kids clothing stores that accept PayPal online.
Some retailers store your credit card details without you knowing
A surprisingly large proportion of online retailers by default save credit card details long-term in their systems – from the first time you place an order. Some allow customers to opt out of saving your details, but not all.
Why it's safest to pay by PayPal
If on principle you don’t feel comfortable with online stores having access to your credit card number, many online retailers offer checkout with PayPal as an alternative option to their regular credit card checkout. With PayPal checkout, the store never sees your credit card details so it’s safer for you in case of a data breach. You have all the convenience of online shopping with your existing credit card (including earning points on purchases) with the extra comfort of knowing the store never has access to that credit card number.
PayPal is my method of choice at checkout if it’s offered at the online store where I’m shopping, for exactly those reasons.
Most likely you already have a PayPal account, but if you don’t have one yet, you can sign up at PayPal.com
Remember as with anything, to use a unique and highly secure password for your PayPal account. You still need to keep your PayPal account safe because it has your credit card details. The online stores never get access to those details, but PayPal has them, so keep it safe.
I feel more secure using PayPal for my purchases than having my credit card details stored at multiple vendors’ sites.
The list of budget-friendly children’s clothing stores that accept PayPal payments
Carter's and OshKosh B'gosh
Well-known sibling brands Carter's and OshKosh B'gosh share a combined site and shopping cart. This means you can shop from both stores in one seamless transaction. PayPal is one of the payment options. The styles at Carter's and OshKosh B'gosh are geared more towards the younger set: babies, toddlers, and young school age children. They go all the way up to size 14, but the styles will appeal more for younger children.
The Children's Place
The Children's Place is surprisingly cheap considering the awesome styles and the boutique look of its stores. You have even more options when shopping online at The Children's Place, and PayPal is one of the payment options at checkout.
They offer vast range of styles and sizes for every age and stage of a child's life from baby to age 18. They do a great job of making styles age-appropriate - older kids won't have tiny dinos all over their clothes, while younger kids will have a ton of cute options that aren't too 'old' for them.
Gymboree
Gymboree is the preppier sibling brand of The Children's Place. Gymboree clothing styles are geared towards young children, so if your child is between the ages of 1 and 12 then that's a great place to shop. They offer PayPal as one of the payment options at checkout.
Old Navy
Well known for its trendy casual wear, Old Navy has clothing for kids of all ages, from babies through to high schoolers. They also have men's and women's clothing, although I feel their kids clothes are a much better deal in terms of value for money than their adult clothing. Old Navy offers the option to use PayPal online at checkout.
Janie and Jack
Janie and Jack is more of an upscale boutique children's clothing store, so it's a little on the more expensive side compared to all the budget-friendly stores on this page, but the clothes are beautifully made. It's where to go for something really nice for photo day. They offer PayPal checkout when shopping online.
Gerber Childrenswear
Yes, the same brand as the baby food and the life insurance, Gerber Childrenswear specializes in baby and toddler clothing that is both adorable and affordable. They too offer a PayPal checkout option online.
French Toast
French Toast is a bit of a hidden gem. It's a school wear brand, so if your child has a school dress code or uniform, you can get everything you need there - no matter what their school colors are. Sizing goes from preschool to high school. The quality is top-notch and the price is budget-friendly, so it's a win-win. French Toast has the option to check out with PayPal. Or if you happen to prefer it, they also offer Amazon Pay.
Justice
Justice is just for tween and teen girls, so they have lots of trendy fun clothes. Justice offers the option to checkout by PayPal online.
Little English
For classic traditional children's clothing (shortalls, smocked dresses, and so on), Little English is the place to shop. Their prices are higher than most of the other stores mentioned on this page, but considering the quality and careful craftsmanship, it's still a good deal. Little English is perfect for clothing for formal photos of your baby, toddler or young school age child. They offer the option to pay by PayPal.
Cotton On Kids
Australian brand Cotton On has a presence in the US and worldwide. Their children's wear branch, Cotton On Kids, has a laid-back nature-inspired look. It's a fun outdoorsy look made from natural materials. Your little explorer will love Cotton On Kids. Their online checkout has PayPal as one of the options.
Extra benefits of PayPal shopping
I noticed these additional benefits through my experiences checking out with PayPal:
- Added confidence when shopping at a store that’s new to me: I never have to worry that they would have access to my credit card number. Of course, you should still research any online store that’s new to you to make sure it’s legit. The stores I mentioned above are safe and legit.
- Snagging great deals that I’d otherwise have given a miss because I wouldn’t have wanted the hassle of creating a whole new account at a new store. I’ve managed to get some fantastic deals without the hassle of store sign-up!
- Purchase protection: If you are unsatisfied with your purchase for a valid reason (e.g. an item never arrived, or an item was damaged during shipping) you can file a dispute on PayPal within a certain number of days, typically 30 days but up to 180 in some cases. This helps give you protection against any unscrupulous vendors. I’ve never yet actually had to use that feature. If anything goes wrong with the order – and that’s not happened to me yet either – contact the store first as soon as possible i.e. well before PayPal’s purchase protection time limit is up, and give the store a chance to make it right first. I like having the Purchase Protection guarantee as a backup line of defense in case it’s needed, though.
- Faster and easier to check out: In most cases, PayPal will even fill in your billing and shipping addresses for you when you’re doing guest checkout via PayPal. It’s faster and easier than standard checkout – no mess, no fuss. Tip: Make sure your PayPal shipping address shows correctly, since some stores allow your PayPal shipping address to override any other address you put into the store site checkout. You’ll always want the addresses to match so that your items ship to the correct place. This is generally only an issue if you recently moved, or moved since you last used your PayPal.
- No need to create multiple online accounts at multiple stores. If you just want to shop one-off at a store that you may never shop at again, you don’t need to make a whole new account there for just one purchase. Simply use the PayPal checkout option at guest checkout instead.
