Using PayPal on the App Store without a credit card?

I wanted to use my PayPal ballence to buy an app but when I go to connect PayPal it says I have to add a credit card to my PayPal to buy it. I don’t have a credit card but I have the money on my PayPal balance so I don’t understand if I’m just missing something. All the videos I’ve watched show them being able to pick their preferred method of payment right away but I didn’t get that. I’d love some help or ideas

iPhone 8, iOS 12
