PayPal Software Reviews

“Performs as expected”

Pros

It works exactly as it should and the platform is quite simple to use.

Cons

The terms of use can feel a bit complex although that seems to be due to tax regulations.

“really good”

Pros

It is really good. Would be even better if PayPal also supported prepaid cards.

Cons

One thing that bothers me is having to link a bank account just to move money to another card.

“central hub for finances”

Pros

Having everything in one place is really convenient. Creating invoices only takes a couple of quick steps and sending payouts is just as simple. It also works well for both personal use and business use so you can manage both without much hassle.

Cons

The one thing I'm not a fan of is that there isn't a separate card for the business side. Since everything is linked together, you end up using the same regular debit card but I'd really prefer having a dedicated card just for business.

“Excellent for payment processing”

Pros

PayPal has been excellent for payment processing. It makes it simple for my business to send and receive international payments safely, quickly and without complications. Overall it has been very hassle-free to use.

Cons

There can be a holding period on payments you receive. I believe it can be around 21 days although I'm not completely sure of the exact timeframe. I understand the reason for it so it's mostly something to be aware of and plan for in advance so it doesn't become an issue.

“missing basics”

Pros

Simple, dependable and easy to use, that's exactly why I've kept using it for so many years.

Cons

At the same time, it still misses some basic things like not letting me change my handle or username even after all this time. It feels a lot like the old Twitter edit button situation something everyone wants but it still hasn't happened. There are also plenty of newer features that other platforms already offer such as UPI and PayPal still doesn't include them.

“Provides statements”

Pros

It is so easy to use. It gives statements much like a bank does so I can simply print them when needed. It also feels much better than sharing my credit card information directly.

Cons

It does exactly what we need it to do and I don't really have any improvements to suggest.

“Protects from scammers”

Pros

Feels secure and practical to use and it really helps protect you from getting scammed.

Cons

Reaching customer service can take quite a while.

“Helpful platform for classroom purchases”

Pros

Using it is very simple and it gives users a convenient platform to buy items for the classroom.

Cons

Customer support falls short because there aren't actual people available to speak with.

“Genuinely beneficial for me”

Pros

This product is simple to handle and it has been genuinely beneficial for me as well.

Cons

I honestly have nothing negative to mention because it consistently works for me and I've never run into any complications with it.

“Essential for managing payments”

Pros

It's become essential for managing payments in everyday life, whether for personal use social situations or work-related needs.

Cons

I haven't run into any issues. It's simple to use both from a computer and through the app.

“Fast deposits”

Pros

Sending payments through it feels very simple, deposits come through quickly and the whole process feels secure when transferring money.

Cons

The platform restricts certain types of items which can make it difficult to sell some products in my store.

“Very simple to handle”

Pros

It's simple to use and that's exactly what motivates me to keep using it.

Cons

At times some payments or transfers to friends take a while to load or go through.

“comes with many advantages”

Pros

The security, data privacy, quick payment processing and the fact that it's free are the biggest advantages for me.

Cons

When a payment stays in processing for a while, it makes me feel like something went wrong.

“can file a claim”

Pros

Using it for online purchases gives me extra peace of mind because I know I'm backed up if I ever need to file a claim.

Cons

Personally, this doesn't really apply to me since the service has been excellent.

“payments with just an email”

Pros

Sending payments is really convenient since you can make them using just an email address.

Cons

the app can't be linked to local banks other than a single supported bank.

“cross-border payments simplified”

Pros

It lets me receive payments from other countries without any hassle or uncertainty.

Cons

The fees can feel a bit discouraging at times but I understand they're running a business too and need to make money from the service they provide.

“secure transactions for both sides”

Pros

Every transaction feels safer because it offers protection for both buyers and sellers.

Cons

There are times when it mistakenly places holds on funds or shuts down accounts.

“clear features and fast mobile sign-in”

Pros

This software feels very simple because the features are clear and simple to navigate. I would definitely recommend it to other people and I especially encourage others to try the mobile app. Whenever I use it on mobile, the sign-in process is quick and works really well.

Cons

I do not like that glitches can show up after software updates. I have also noticed that these issues tend to happen on the website version when I log in after an update.

“They offer gift incentive”

Pros

Using it for payments feels very easy and the gift incentive offered to users is probably the part I appreciate most. The program itself is excellent and the way deposits and withdrawals work is especially convenient and noticeable.

Cons

That said it can suddenly restrict users and freeze or hold funds in an account which is really frustrating. It becomes a real problem when you need access to your money immediately. On top of that, the unreliable IPN and API often disrupt transactions especially when limited inventory is involved and instant verification is necessary.

“Necessary tool for me”

Pros

It's become an essential tool for me, being able to pay or receive money so conveniently is a real advantage.

Cons

The amount of fees deducted when receiving a payment is too much.
