3rd party id verification with id document and selfie upload required. Also PayPal pay later needs a credit line activated with PayPal:

To use PayPal Pay Later, customers must have a PayPal account, be at least 18 years old, and reside in a state where the service is available. A soft credit check is performed during the application process, which does not impact the customer's credit score.

Note: you can use the 20% off on "Paypal Later" in the PayPal app for ANY purchase up to $1,250 thru Dec. 8th. It doesn't have to work on this iPhone only.

Crazy $770 price listing with many caveats and hoops to jump. Might as well list as free, - $0 if you add 2 hours of regular job toward paying the phone, assuming you earn $500 an hour.
That would be a niche crowd who earn $500/hour (especially full-time) and spends time here in SD. Thanks for lightening the mood. 🤣

I tested the Total Wireless offer with the iPhone 17 Pro. After the discount, the final checkout price came to $1,017 including taxes ($1,099 minus $300, plus $165 for the 3-month plan). I saved the PayPal offer for 20% cashback, and at checkout I selected PayPal Pay Later (Pay in 4). The order went through successfully.
My questions are:
1. Will the PayPal 20% cashback apply to the full $1,017 total or only to the phone price?
2. And is the PayPal 20% cashback offer only a one-time use?

It means you can buy a fridge from Bestbuy.com, a guitar from ebay, or a TV from Amazon etc. So long as you pay using "PayPal later" in the PayPal app, you'll get the 20% off discount for an online purchase.
It's not like its available everywhere. For example, the Mint Mobile iphone deal cannot use it.

Would it be possible to process two separate $1,250 transactions so that I can receive the $250 cashback on each one?

On Total Wireless, it showed PayPal as a payment option. I clicked it, a new pop-up window opened, and I completed the checkout through PayPal. I selected 'Pay in 4,' clicked OK, and the order went through. In my PayPal account, it now shows pending points worth $203

Would the Paypal Pay Later impact credit (e.g. a pull)?

This worked for me. I got 20,658 points back worth $206 in cash back. Total for me is $1033 - $206 =$827.00 after tax.

No according to the other thread, the $1250 limit is the max across one or many transactions.

No it's a soft pull. The pay later just uses your credit card 4x (one now and 3 in the next few weeks)
