PayPal Software Reviews

“great experience with this software”

Pros

It has been a really great experience. The software is user-friendly and does a very good job of processing transactions safely and securely.

Cons

I haven't run into any issues with it.

“excellent for making quick online payments”

Pros

PayPal has been really handy for making quick online payments without having to share my card details each time which adds a nice sense of security and convenience.

Cons

More websites still need to support it especially outside the UK. On top of that, friends overseas don't use it so sending money through the platform isn't really an option for me.

“Clean dashboard”

Pros

The dashboard is laid out clearly so everything feels simple and very simple to use.

Cons

I've always wanted the ability to connect my local bank account. I don't understand why that option is limited to US bank accounts only.

“Falling behind”

Pros

It's still a widely used and secure option for paying online.

Cons

Compared with newer competitors, it isn't supported as broadly and doesn't offer the same level of functionality.

“protects user's money well”

Pros

What really sets this app apart is how well it protects the user's money. On top of that, paying through it is very convenient and its international reach for buying all kinds of products online makes it stand out from other payment methods. The whole purchase process feels faster and more user-friendly.

Cons

It could be useful to connect it more directly to a card or have its own card for purchases in physical stores. Still since the app is clearly more focused on strengthening online shopping and also makes it simple to transfer money to the user's own linked accounts, that feature doesn't feel especially necessary.

“Transactions can be reversed in case of fraud”

Pros

It has been dependable for handling different types of payments across the world which makes it very convenient to use internationally. It's also reassuring that a transaction can be reversed if fraud happens, adding an extra layer of protection.

Cons

Access is still restricted in many African countries which limits who can actually use the platform.

“everyone knows how to use it”

Pros

Pretty much everyone already knows it and understands how to use it. It's been around for a long time so it feels familiar and established.

Cons

It doesn't offer a lot of integration with some of the newer payment methods out there.

“Trusted name in the industry”

Pros

PayPal's name carries a lot of trust right away which makes customers feel comfortable when handling payments with us. Since almost everyone already has access to it, using it feels pretty universal and convenient. Both the app and the web version are well supported and it really feels like the leading option in the market.

Cons

The mobile app could include a few more features although moving over to the web version is not hard at all. At the same time, leaving some tools on the web side does help keep the app more organized instead of packing in every single feature.

“Payments show up immediately”

Pros

I appreciate how simple it is to use and payments show up immediately. It also lets me check the details of my orders which is really helpful.

Cons

I don't like that whenever I add a card and it's still processing, an error appears and I have to enter all the information again.

“user-friendly payment solution”

Pros

Setting it up on our platform was simple and practically all of our clients already recognize PayPal and know how to use it. It's a user-friendly payment solution that also feels secure and reliable.

Cons

It doesn't fit every situation in the corporate world since some businesses aren't always able to use it for making payments.

“Helps me handle my bill payments”

Pros

It helps me handle my bill payments and also receive money from online work.

Cons

The features aren't the same in every country.

“Convenient card linking and payments”

Pros

Being able to link my debit cards makes it really convenient to send and receive money and also use it for purchases.

Cons

At times, refunds take quite a while to come back when a purchase doesn't go through.

“Online invoicing done right”

Pros

Handling invoices and payments completely online has been really helpful. It's also useful having everything tracked together in one place which makes staying organized much simpler.

Cons

Customer support can sometimes take a while to respond even for pretty basic requests but overall the software works well and is simple to use.

“ideal for startups”

Pros

Getting started with it is incredibly simple and the fact that there's no upfront cost is a huge advantage. For a small business, that makes it possible to begin accepting credit and debit card payments right away without locking into monthly service contracts, taking on extra fixed expenses or spending a lot of time setting up and implementing a payment system.

Cons

The lack of upfront cost can mean the processing fees are sometimes high since they're charged as a percentage of each transaction. Even so, depending on your sales amount and volume, it can still be a worthwhile option simply for the ability to accept credit and debit cards.

“Available on most websites”

Pros

Payments are very quickly and it's available on most websites which is really convenient. Having it as an intermediary adds an extra layer of security between our bank accounts and online stores. The balance feature on PayPal is also excellent.

Cons

The removal of group money pools is a downside. It was probably done to reduce fraud but it's still a shame since other services continue to offer that feature.

“Rapid support”

Pros

Their team is quick to respond to needs. The platform is simple to use and manage.

Cons

Payment transfers aren't processed with MasterCard, only with Visa.

“Been a great help”

Pros

It really helps a lot when paying online.

Cons

I can't think of any downsides because I like everything about it. It's quick and recognized all over the world.

“Quick and efficient payments”

Pros

We use it for smaller payments under PS500 and it's always quick and efficient.

Cons

Nothing really comes to mind, it just works without any issues.

“Very approachable payment tool”

Pros

The way this software works feels very user-friendly and approachable.

Cons

In my opinion, there really isn't any issue with the software.

“Quick payments with PayPal”

Pros

Paying with this tool is really fast which makes checkout and completing transactions much more convenient.

Cons

When I used it about a week ago, it was harder than expected to find the section I needed. All the extra product options around it felt distracting and frustrating especially since I had no interest in them. I just wanted to finish what I needed to do but the process ended up taking longer than it should have.
