PayPal Software Reviews

“Excellent platform overall”

Pros

It's an excellent product overall although the crediting process really should be faster since it takes longer than traditional banks.

Cons

The fund crediting times are very slow and it would be much better if they at least matched standard banking timeframes.

“Rising fees and poor support”

Pros

They used to be the best company around. Sadly, that's not the case anymore.

Cons

Their processing fees keep going up while seller protection keeps getting weaker. On top of that, it's incredibly frustrating trying to contact them and reach an actual person by phone.

“Versatile online transactions”

Pros

I really appreciate that this platform lets me make transactions across multiple online platforms.

Cons

Setting up a business account requires a lot of documents and details that aren't available in my region.

“I like PayPal!”

Pros

Using it online is really simple and sending money to other people is quick and convenient.

Cons

The interface can be frustrating at times and customer support hasn't been very helpful when I've needed assistance.

“Outstanding customer support”

Pros

Sending money through PayPal is quick, secure and simple. It gives me more options when paying vendors and the added security features make transactions feel much safer. Customer support has also been outstanding whenever help was needed.

Cons

Changing names can be difficult and there are times when returns are not covered.

“Helps manage expenses”

Pros

It is so easy to use and the new option to split payments over three months is especially useful because it helps spread out expenses and manage costs better.

Cons

The fees charged to transfer money to a personal bank account are a downside.

“High transaction fees”

Pros

It's a very widely used tool in most countries around the world and just by sharing your email address someone can send the agreed payment without much hassle.

Cons

transaction fees are very high. If someone sends me money, I get charged and then if I want to withdraw that amount, I'm charged again. Another downside is that if you stop using it for about 6 months and then come back to the app, you may have to wait 15 to 30 days before being able to transfer your money out. Also, if you live in a country where it doesn't have agreements with local banks, you need to rely on external apps to withdraw the funds you have saved.

“Doesn’t waste time”

Pros

Transactions are quick and simple, with very little delay between receiving money and sending it back out.

Cons

Sending payments to several different people at the same time isn't very convenient.

“payments without limits”

Pros

There's no cap on payment processing and it's accepted pretty much all over the world.

Cons

it feels perfect to me so I don't really have any cons to mention.

“Interface feels sleek”

Pros

The interface feels modern and the payment features work really well. It's also very useful for sending money and loading funds when needed.

Cons

It still isn't available in every country which can be restrictive.

“Preferred method for online purchases”

Pros

It is the payment method I prefer for online purchases because transactions go through almost instantly especially compared with the often more complicated steps required when paying by credit card. I also appreciate being able to use either my PayPal balance, my bank account or my credit card depending on what I need at that moment.

Cons

there still isn't an agreement with Amazon to allow payments through PayPal on its e-commerce site. It would also be nice to see it accepted more widely in physical stores.

“Trusted brand that boosts sales”

Pros

Getting it set up was pretty simple and customers already know the brand well. As soon as they see PayPal, they tend to trust the checkout more and feel more comfortable completing a purchase.

Cons

The pricing is a little higher than average.

“Has never let me down”

Pros

Right away, the best thing about this software is how simple it is to understand. It's very basic in a good way, still feels professional and official and it's something I can genuinely trust. When I send an invoice, I know I'll have my own copy there waiting and when I send a payment to someone, I know it will reach them. It's dependable and has never let me down.

Cons

If there's one part that falls short, it's the customer service because getting in touch with them can be really difficult. Aside from that though, it's still top dog.

“Works as a digital financial middleman”

Pros

It works as a digital financial middleman for payments and money transfers and it does the job securely. It offers solid protection against fraud and scams, while keeping sensitive bank account and card details from being shared. Signing up is free and the platform includes several layers of protection that help safeguard both buyers and sellers.

Cons

The high percentage charged in fees and deductions on certain transactions bothers me.

“helps me stay on top of billing”

Pros

Sending payments is simple and it helps me stay on top of billing and payroll without any issues.

Cons

Havent noticed any drawbacks. It's very simple to use.

“Reliable privacy and payouts”

Pros

Handling distributions is simple and the privacy service is excellent.

Cons

At times, the number of steps involved makes it tedious to keep up with the process.

“Keeps things simple”

Pros

The app keeps things simple, it's free to use and it works well for shopping online and transferring money between accounts.

Cons

One part I don't like is that when I make a sale, it tends to side with the buyer every time and that sometimes pushes me away from certain selling platforms.

“solid rates”

Pros

It doesn't cost me anything, the conversion rate is really good and I feel much safer keeping my credit card details protected when I pay with it.

Cons

Withdrawing money isn't very simple, at least where I live.

“Used by almost everyone”

Pros

Almost everyone knows it so it's a payment platform many customers choose over others because it makes them feel more secure.

Cons

I had a bit of trouble at first figuring out how to generate the available summaries and reports.

“I use it for various purposes”

Pros

Across journal payments and importing chemicals, it has worked really well for me because it's accepted by so many vendors and institutions.

Cons

There is $200 transaction cap unless you upgrade your account which can be inconvenient since it sometimes means splitting a payment into smaller amounts.
