BURLINGTON, Ont. – Ikea Canada is adding a PayPal payment option for online purchases from the home furnishings company.
The Swedish retailer says it wants to make Ikea more accessible to Canadians.
PayPal has about 6.4 million active user accounts in Canada.
The service is an alternative to credit and debit cards, which Ikea Canada will continue to accept.
Walmart stopped taking the Visa credit card at some of its stores in Thunder Bay, Ont., on Monday in a dispute over fees.

MONTREAL – Walmart’s threat to ban the use of Visa cards at its Canadian stores gets underway today in the northwestern Ontario city of Thunder Bay.
After months of negotiations, the retailing giant is eliminating Visa as a payment option at three stores in Thunder Bay, vowing to roll it out to its 400 locations in Canada.
Walmart hasn’t disclosed when that rollout will begin.
Despite the impasse, Walmart says it remains optimistic that an agreement will eventually be reached with Canada’s largest credit card company.
Visa, meantime, says it will do everything “reasonable” to ensure Canadians can use their Visa cards everywhere they want to shop, including at Walmart stores.
