Absa Chip Credit Card Issues

[Catal]

My previous Visa credit card (chipless) expired, but Absa sent me a new chip credit card recently. When I tried to add the new card to PayPal today it kept stating: "the card has been denied by the card issuer."

Apparently it is because a chip credit card has to be activated in-branch to get a pin.

My question is: Am I going to have issues using the chip credit card for online payments or PayPal, because it now has a pin?

I haven't had any issues with mine (even with Paypal).
