The Suns have signed a jersey patch deal with PayPal, becoming the 25th NBA team to have such a deal. Terms of the pact were not disclosed, but the agreement makes PayPal the official payment partner of the Suns, the WNBA Phoenix Mercury and Real Club Deportivo Mallorca, a second-division Spanish soccer team controlled by Suns Owner Robert Sarver. The deal also makes PayPal a payment option at Talking Stick Resort Arena and at the Suns' in-arena team store, with fans to access PayPal through the Suns team app. The Suns will also make PayPal Credit available for season-ticket purchases.

The Mercury will have the PayPal logo on the front of their jerseys starting next season, with the Mercury jerseys to be revealed in the spring. No agencies were used in the deal, which is PayPal’s first team sponsorship.
