The PayPal Ads ID is available for free to any data or ad tech vendor with a commercial relationship with PayPal Ads, with initial partners including Magnite, Rokt, Taboola, and PubMatic.
Unlike other advertising IDs, PayPal’s solution is not cookie-based and allows clients and partners to augment data when buying media through integrated publishers or SSPs.
This move aims to make ads more relevant and performant, supporting retail media growth as the industry shifts away from third-party cookies and seeks more commerce-grade identity solutions.
