PayPal
PayPal is an online payment service that lets you buy your Deutschlandticket at TicketPlus+ quickly and securely — without entering bank details in the shop.
What is PayPal?
PayPal is one of the world's largest online payment services with over 400 million active accounts. Users can pay via linked bank account, credit card, or PayPal balance — without sharing their financial details directly with merchants.
PayPal for the Deutschlandticket
TicketPlus+ accepts PayPal as one of three primary payment methods (alongside Apple Pay and Google Pay). The process is simple: select PayPal, log in, confirm — done.
