PayPal Software Reviews

“essential for starting new ventures”

Pros

I like having an international payment method available when building a business or starting new ventures.

Cons

It isn't officially supported in my country so I have to rely on international accounts in order to receive payments.

“simple to access”

Pros

It feels secure for sending payments and it's simple to access whenever I need it.

Cons

Customer service still needs work and refund disputes can take longer than they should.

“early pay is fantastic”

Pros

Getting my pay deposited into the account two days before the actual payday is a huge plus.

Cons

At times, the app crashes and doesn't function the way it should.

“Poor reporting”

Pros

A lot of customers already have accounts with it and prefer using it as their payment method so offering that option is definitely helpful.

Cons

Reporting is really poor. If you only handle a small number of transactions, it might be manageable but once you need to pull data, look up older records or follow up on overdue invoices, it becomes very difficult. Re-running a card after a customer's payment is declined also takes too much manual effort. It would be much better if subscription members could display their actual names instead of only showing the account name.

“Fast setup for online shopping”

Pros

Just by signing in with your email and password, you're ready to start shopping right away.

Cons

The fees are extremely high and they force you to use their currency conversion.

“easy to connect to different platforms”

Pros

It's very user-friendly and getting it connected doesn't take much time at all.

Cons

I'd really like the support guides to include step-by-step video instructions.

“Reliable and solid overall”

Pros

Making payments with it is really simple and it has been very reliable and solid overall.

Cons

It does depend on having an internet connection so problems can come up if the network is down.

“effortless integration process”

Pros

Getting it set up was simple and the integration process didn't take much effort. From the user side, payments and checkout feel simple and convenient which helps a lot. It's also accepted in a lot of places and linking bank accounts or cards is quick and hassle-free.

Cons

Customer support can be frustrating to deal with at times. The fees are also higher compared to some competitors and there are extra charges if you need an instant withdrawal.

“secure checkout protection”

Pros

The checkout process stays secure the whole time which gives me a real sense of protection when making purchases.

Cons

I honestly haven't come across any downsides with this software and feel completely satisfied using it.

“Buyer protection i can count on”

Pros

It's been really useful whenever I shop somewhere and want that extra protection in case something goes wrong with a covered purchase. I also use it from time to time to sell items and I'm planning to rely on it even more as I start using it for my business.

Cons

One thing that's frustrating is how difficult it is to cancel a subscription from my account when I'm doing it on my phone.

“First platform i used for billing”

Pros

It was one of the first platforms I used for online billing and I still end up returning to it whenever other systems go down, when I need to send invoices internationally or when it simply works better for a client's preferences. Even though it's not my primary solution anymore, it has remained a dependable option to keep on hand.

Cons

Integrating it into my website for online payments isn't very simple.

“Manageable fees”

Pros

The fees are reasonable and the platform is simple to use.

Cons

It doesn't connect with every bank, only a limited number of them do.

“Clients value it”

Pros

PayPal has built a strong reputation as a secure, user-friendly platform. My clients value having it as an option because it gives them confidence that their payments are protected and that nothing suspicious is happening. It's definitely the payment method they prefer most.

Cons

I honestly don't have any major complaints. If anything, the fees could be a bit lower but that hasn't been enough to make me consider switching away from it.

“Works with tons of stores”

Pros

A big plus is how many different stores and services accept it which makes it really convenient to use for all kinds of purchases and payments.

Cons

There are still some limitations with certain banks when transferring money so that part could be more flexible.

“Pay in 4 has been a lifesaver”

Pros

The pay in 4 option has been a huge help for me especially with prices increasing everywhere. It's made purchases much more manageable.

Cons

I honestly don't have any complaints. It's been really helpful, trustworthy and the customer service has been excellent.

“Perfect for saving funds”

Pros

It helps me a lot with saving money since I'm not able to withdraw it very often.

Cons

At the moment, I don't have any complaints at all.

“Payments anywhere anytime”

Pros

Being able to use it both online and on a mobile phone is something I really love. It lets people send payments from anywhere at any time which makes it incredibly convenient.

Cons

I do wish the invoicing options were better but aside from that, it works really well for what it is.

“secure platform you can trust”

Pros

Using it has let us both receive and send payments while feeling confident that our transactions are secure.

Cons

It's only available in a limited number of countries and it still hasn't been rolled out in some others.

“Can find anyone using email”

Pros

People from almost anywhere can send me money without any fees and it's convenient that they can find me using my email or username while also confirming it's the right profile through the profile picture.

Cons

Withdrawing funds is limited to FNB.

“simple setup and clean layout”

Pros

Getting it configured and up and running is very simple and using it feels just as simple. The layout is clean and the overall design is uncomplicated which makes everything feel user-friendly.

Cons

Not everybody is familiar with it or has used it before so you sometimes have to walk people through setting up their accounts.
