PayPal Software Reviews

“secure payment management”

Pros

Being able to manage my payments in a secure and simple way is one of the best parts of using PayPal.

Cons

Something that's missing is courses or training on how to use the app so a lot of it ends up being learned through trial and error.

“Useful for subscriptions”

Pros

Using it means I don't have to share my credit card details with sellers I'm not familiar with which gives me a better sense of security. I also appreciate being able to manage recurring payments in one place and update my card there when needed instead of changing it separately for every subscription.

Cons

I'd like to see a bit more transparency around exchange rates, along with faster notification that a charge is being billed in my local currency when I'm shopping in USD or Euro.

“saved cards make checkout simple”

Pros

It is really convenient especially with saved cards. It's nice not having to type in card details again every time.

Cons

Customer support feels lacking in my opinion.

“We can place a transaction on hold”

Pros

Payments run reliably and being able to place a transaction on hold for security purposes and then release it later is really useful. The payback points are a nice extra benefit as well.

Cons

The currency conversion fees on multi-currency transactions are quite high.

“Has been great”

Pros

It has been really good overall, it's simple to use and makes processing billing statements very convenient.

Cons

It also comes with buyer protection and the platform is very simple to use.

“Fast setup and bank transfers”

Pros

Getting started with the account was very simple and receiving funds directly into my bank has been really convenient.

Cons

This is not really a downside but now that UPI payment options are widely available, I don't really need to use it for local transactions anymore.

“secure payments across devices”

Pros

The built-in security is a big plus and not having to pay any setup fees makes it even better. It's set up in a way that fits business needs well and works reliably across multiple devices. Handling payments in different currencies is simple and efficient with just a simple change. It's also excellent when I need to pay creditors and vendors right away. On top of that, the mobile app is quick and convenient to use.

Cons

Buyer protection tends to lean more toward the buyer which can leave sellers without enough coverage and exposed to risk. The process for increasing the line of credit could definitely be simpler. Refunds also seem to get delayed from time to time. Compared with other tools, the commissions still feel a bit high and the rates could be more affordable. Transactions can also take a little longer to process than they do with some other providers.

“makes withdrawing money convenient”

Pros

Connecting my IT account to my bank account was very simple which makes withdrawing money really convenient. Making payments is also simple since it works with a lot of online commerce tools. On top of that, setting up MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) was uncomplicated and adds an extra layer of security to my account.

Cons

The exchange rate when withdrawing funds in another currency could be better. The withdrawal transaction fee is also a downside.

“Modern features”

Pros

After using this product for several years, I've really appreciated how they keep updating it and adding new features so it stays ahead of the curve. They clearly invest a lot into the platform which makes it simple to use and keeps everything running reliably.

Cons

My biggest complaint with this service is the number of fees charged along the way. There's a fixed fee, then a percentage-based fee and on top of that, a currency conversion fee.

“Just alright”

Pros

It hasn't felt like a standout product to me and there are definitely other platforms out there that can handle the same kinds of tasks.

Cons

One annoying issue is the number of scam emails I receive claiming there's a problem with my account when everything is actually fine.

“Fantastic features and navigation”

Pros

Everything in the platform feels simple to use and all the features are simple to locate when I need them.

Cons

At this point, I haven't come across anything about the software that I dislike.

“always feels secure”

Pros

My payments always feel secure and it works on a huge number of websites around the world in different languages.

Cons

Your money stays protected and it can be used across an enormous range of websites worldwide in multiple languages, whether for online stores or paid apps.

“Proactive support”

Pros

It has been really simple for me. I've never been charged any money to use it and it helps me stay protected from scams whenever I make payments online. Their customer support is also very responsive and actually understands the problem when you reach out.

Cons

I honestly don't have any real complaints. If anything, I'd just love to see PayPal grow into a full bank in the future so I could use it as my personal bank.

“Good security”

Pros

lets me make payments online, the transaction shows up immediately and the security is very good.

Cons

They charge for the initial use of the application.

“Makes shopping secure”

Pros

Having that extra layer of safety and security when I shop online is what I appreciate most about PayPal.

Cons

There are a few fees that come with using it but overall it's still been very good.

“keeps up with newer platforms”

Pros

It keeps up with newer platforms and over the many years I've used it, it has never let me down or sent me any breach notifications.

Cons

Nothing has felt misleading and I've been using it for many years without issues.

“Excellent experience”

Pros

Has been a really positive experience. It's simple to work with, creating invoices takes very little effort and I can always pull them up later when I need them. It also lets me save recurring business contacts which helps a lot when sending repeat invoices and the connection with my bank account makes everything more convenient.

Cons

The invoice fees are higher than what other software options charge. The last time I used it, I ended up regretting it after realizing Squareup offers better fees.

“Worldwide purchases with PayPal”

Pros

The buying process works really well. It lets me make purchases worldwide and using it for payments is very simple.

Cons

Adding money to the account is quite difficult and there isn't a feature that really makes reloading the balance any easier.

“account recovery is a nightmare”

Pros

It's affordable, accepted worldwide and feels secure to use.

Cons

it won't let you recover your account if you fail a security question from more than 10 years ago.

“Impressive transfer speed”

Pros

PayPal makes paying and receiving money very convenient and the speed of the transactions is a big plus.

Cons

The process of withdrawing money can be complicated.
