PayPal Software Reviews

Pros

Using PayPal has been very convenient because the platform is user friendly and since so many people already use it, it's easily accessible for my clients as well.

Cons

One downside is that the processing fees tend to be higher compared to other software options.

Pros

One thing that really works well for me is being able to receive money from my online games through PayPal.

Cons

I honestly haven't run into any issues with the app. It does exactly what I need.

Pros

It is simple and it feels very secure when handling payments. Customer support has been decent too.

Cons

At times the security measures feel a bit too strict which can make certain tasks harder to complete.

Pros

Being able to receive money transfers even while I'm overseas has been really convenient and useful.

Cons

The part I really don't enjoy is how many days it takes for the money to finally transfer into my bank account.

Pros

One of PayPal's best qualities is how user-friendly the interface is so setting up an account doesn't take much effort. Adding a bank account or credit card is also simple which lets us shop internationally and send or receive foreign payments without stressing about security or currency conversion. It also includes two-factor authentication which adds another layer of protection and helps keep our account secure.

Cons

Not happy with how much they charge for each transaction.

Pros

Having the PayPal Cash Card is especially useful because it lets me use the money in my PayPal balance pretty much wherever I am.

Cons

I wasn't too happy about the fact that if my PayPal balance didn't have enough funds, it would pull the difference from my bank account. That said, I realize that's probably more on me than on PayPal itself.

Pros

Sending someone a payment link is really convenient and it makes it simple to get paid by people from anywhere in the world without needing them to do an EFT.

Cons

The fees are extremely high when receiving money from overseas, converting it into PayPal USD from the original source and then transferring it to my bank account in South Africa. It feels almost criminal.

Pros

Whether I'm paying friends, coworkers, business contacts or organizations I'm involved with, PayPal has become my go-to for sending and receiving money.

Cons

As with most platforms, there's a bit of a learning curve at first but once I got familiar with it, it ended up working really well.

Pros

It works really well for handling deposits and payments across most of what I need in the digital space which makes it very convenient to use.

Cons

Depositing checks can be inconsistent at times and some of them get rejected even when there doesn't seem to be any clear reason for it.

Pros

The service is excellent, the security feels top-notch and transactions go through without any stress.

Cons

There were a few brief bugs in the Android app before but an update cleared up the stuttering and since then the service has been excellent.

Pros

PayPal has been dependable and widely accessible whenever I need to use it.

Cons

Honestly I don't have any complaints about PayPal. My experience with it has been very positive overall.

Pros

Setting it up at the beginning was simple but after that, the whole process became much more complicated.

Cons

Too many fraud-related problems and receiving money takes far too long.

Pros

Keeping business spending organized is much easier with PayPal because every transaction flows through a linked bank account. For my small business, I run all of my business purchases through PayPal which connects directly to my personal bank account. Using it this way makes it much simpler to separate business costs from my regular day-to-day personal spending.

Cons

One part of PayPal that feels off is the "Pay in 4" feature. It's clearly meant to work like Afterpay, where you can split a bigger purchase into four payments over the next two months and that can be really useful for larger business expenses. The frustrating part is that you have to reapply every single time and getting approved feels completely unpredictable. PayPal's system seems to check a mix of factors before deciding if you qualify but there's no real explanation of what those factors are or why they seem to matter in some cases and not in others. Even worse, customer support can't step in and change anything. The whole process is controlled by an algorithm and the staff can't override it or even explain why you were denied. In my case, I probably get approved only about half the time and that inconsistency makes the feature pretty frustrating to rely on.

Pros

Sending or transferring money doesn't come with fees and it also provides users with a solid sense of security.

Cons

The part I dislike most about PayPal is how aggressively it can freeze accounts.

Pros

PayPal does a really good job of handling my transactions and keeping a clear record of all the payments coming into my business account. That makes tax season a whole lot easier to deal with. It's an excellent service for any business.

Cons

I really don't have any major issues or complaints about this product.

Pros

For more than two years, PayPal has consistently worked well for me and I've been very satisfied with the service. The part I appreciate most is how quickly transactions go throughalong with the added confidence of using my cards securely.

Cons

I'd still like to see PayPal keep innovating when it comes to online transactions and security and it would be even better if it were accepted everywhere online as well as in supermarkets.

Pros

We'd been using PayPal long before starting our own business and it's still something we plan to keep using as our business continues to grow.

Cons

At times payments don't go through immediately when using debit cards from smaller banks instead of the major ones.

Pros

Using PayPal has been really simple and it helps me keep money in my wallet without charging outrageous fees.

Cons

The only issue was probably on my side since I forgot my password. A password hint option would be really helpful.

Pros

When it comes to sending money across borders, there really aren't many options that feel this reliable. PayPal offers a secure and convenient way to make payments, both locally and internationally.

Cons

Honestly I can't think of much to point out as a downside to the app.

Pros

Paypal's support team is very proactive which makes a big difference. Depositing and withdrawing funds is something I really enjoy because it's quick and convenient. Setting up an account also takes very little effort so the whole signup process feels simple and not at all difficult.

Cons

Accounts can get frozen without any notice to the account holder.
