PayPal Software Reviews

“Handy for international payments”

Pros

This solution is really convenient for making international purchases and payments which is what I value most about using it.

Cons

The platform and mobile app can be quite slow and I run into frequent errors more often than I'd expect.

“Self-explanatory tool”

Pros

It's very simple to use and manage even without any explanation.

Cons

It's very simple to use and manage even without any explanation.

“Excellent for shopping on lesser-known websites”

Pros

I've always used it for online payments because I don't fully trust the security systems of many websites especially lesser-known ones and small shops. It's an excellent way to keep my payment card and all of its details hidden. That gives me much more peace of mind when shopping especially in case the site I bought from gets hacked. I also use it to send money to friends since it helps cut down transaction costs and is free to use for that.

Cons

when you want to transfer money from it back to your card, there's a small 1% fee. It may seem low and almost insignificant but on smaller amounts it becomes annoying.

“Lets me receive payments from anywhere”

Pros

Using this has been very simple and that's what I appreciate most about it. I can receive payments from all over the world without any trouble.

Cons

At this point, there really isn't anything I dislike about it.

“Ability to send invoices by email and text”

Pros

Being able to send invoices by both email and text is really convenient.

Cons

I'd still like the transaction fee to be lower.

“Offers a lot of features”

Pros

The thing I enjoy most about it is how smooth it feels to use, along with the features it offers.

Cons

It does a better job of keeping our money secure than other platforms. I don't have any complaints.

“Innovative company”

Pros

PayPal is the online payment platform most of us already trust. It's a globally recognized brand, known for being innovative, focused on security and committed to keeping customers satisfied.

Cons

When it comes to currency conversion, the exchange rate tends to favor PayPal quite a bit. I understand they need to make money but they also charge a fairly high fee on each sale.

“All-in-one solution”

Pros

Across just about every website and online store, it is there which makes it incredibly convenient to use. It works almost everywhere so I can shop from a huge variety of places without needing different payment methods. It really feels like an all-in-one solution for online payments.

Cons

Something that bothers me is the transaction fees which can feel pretty high at times especially since I mostly use it for personal payments. It's frustrating to lose a few dollars here and there just because of the fees.

“Simple to operate”

Pros

Payments go through quickly, the platform is simple to use and it feels much more convenient overall.

Cons

Transactions are fast and using it keeps getting simpler over time.

“Diverse features”

Pros

It is one of the most widely used payment processors for online stores and ecommerce and getting it set up is pretty simple. It also comes with strong support and a wide range of features that can fit different types of users and business needs.

Cons

My biggest issue with it is the tax reporting side which can become difficult to manage when tax season comes around especially with a high volume of transactions. Reconciling payments has always felt more complicated than it should be and the per-transaction pricing is on the expensive side.

“Happy with all the features”

Pros

Using the website feels very safe and that's the part I like the most.

Cons

At this point, I've been happy with all of its features and haven't run into anything to dislike.

“Meets cross-border payment needs”

Pros

It's become a go-to option for a lot of people in different countries and really solves payment needs across borders.

Cons

Their customer service could definitely be better but with a bit of patience things usually get sorted out. In the end, it still feels very safe to use.

“Handles payments well”

Pros

It works well for making online purchases and handling payments for different things.

Cons

Transferring money to my bank account can be frustrating and the payment fees are a downside.

“Instant payments customers trust”

Pros

Payments go through instantly and my customers already trust PayPal which matters a lot to my business.

Cons

Updating contact details can be frustrating especially when changing to a new phone number.

“Great for royalty payments”

Pros

It's very convenient for receiving royalty payments which makes that part of the process much more simple.

Cons

The downside is the limited accessibility when it comes to using credit cards.

“Perfect for my small business”

Pros

Running my small business has been so much more manageable with PayPal. I've been happy with everything about it.

Cons

I really don't have anything negative to say about it. It's been absolutely amazing for me.

“Comes with many benefits”

Pros

It comes with a lot of benefits and is simple to use for all kinds of users.

Cons

I haven't run into any downsides with it, if anything, it offers plenty of advantages.

“Makes a huge difference”

Pros

It has been really convenient because the features are simple to use. Instead of giving you a complicated wallet ID like many other apps, it lets you receive payments through your email which saves time and lowers the chances of someone sending money to the wrong person. That makes a big difference especially when handling business transactions.

Cons

The only thing I feel is missing is the ability to send or receive funds through Skrill or Neteller. Aside from that, I really haven't felt that the app lacks anything else.

“makes payment processing convenient”

Pros

PayPal works almost everywhere which makes payment processing convenient across just about any industry. On top of that, it's very user-friendly so it feels well worth using. I can customize invoices for customers and send them out right away and it also makes it simple to keep track of and follow up on unpaid invoices. Another big plus is the protection it offers in the uncommon event of fraud, both for my business and for my customers.

Cons

There have been occasions when my account was suspended without any clear reason. When I contacted customer support, they were not able to provide much clarification either. Usually I have to go through additional identity or business verification before the account is restored. Even though I've always been able to get it reactivated fairly quickly, it's frustrating that this happens at all when my business practices have stayed the same and I haven't done anything wrong.

“Clients love the paypal option”

Pros

I use it to take payments for appointments and a lot of clients would rather pay that way than enter their debit or credit card information directly. It also works well for me because the money usually reaches me within about three days.

Cons

if something goes wrong, getting hold of customer support can be really difficult.
