PayPal Software Reviews

“support disappoints”

Pros

It's accepted in a lot of places and is fairly simple to use.

Cons

Customer support is weak and some of the policies feel questionable.

“Short setup”

Pros

Paying people with it has been very simple and it doesn't take much setup to get started. It's also stayed secure for me over many years of use which gives me a lot of confidence in the product.

Cons

The app's interface felt a bit frustrating and the design came across as somewhat outdated. That said, I was still able to find my way around without much trouble.

“Sending money simplified”

Pros

Sending money is really simple to understand. It's easily the best way to settle outstanding accounts even when people are spread out across different places.

Cons

It did take a bit of time to learn where everything was located in the app. Account verification was also slower than I expected.

“Safer payments every time”

Pros

Using it feels more secure than other payment apps which gives me a lot more confidence when I'm making transactions.

Cons

I don't like that there's no option to change the pay code or username.

“Reliable backup”

Pros

Being able to send money internationally and shop with added security is my favorite part of using it. It also gives me a reliable backup whenever I do not have my debit card with me which makes paying for things much more convenient.

Cons

The part I enjoy least is the constant marketing emails and the pop-ups inside the app. The home page also feels pretty crowded which can be a little distracting.

“Helpful for canceling subscriptions”

Pros

I really appreciate being able to cancel automatic payments for things I don't even remember signing up for.

Cons

I can't stop every payment this way since not everyone accepts PayPal.

“excellent UX”

Pros

The user experience is really excellent and it's widely used across the DACH region.

Cons

It can get expensive if you use it for an online shop.

“Appreciate the Cash back”

Pros

Getting cash back on purchases with my card has been a really nice perk. Another thing that works well is how it connects to my bank account and pulls from my PayPal balance first before charging the card.

Cons

it no longer integrates with Square even though it used to.

“Valuable Etsy connection”

Pros

Having Etsy linked into it was a big plus for me and I really appreciated the privacy side of it too.

Cons

This tool still isn't built into every app I use.

“Pretty easy to use”

Pros

Very easy to use and it's accepted in a lot of places which makes it really convenient. The security features are also solid and give me confidence when using it.

Cons

Honestly I can't think of any negatives to mention.

“Brings a sense of security”

Pros

Using it to pay other people for purchases feels secure and that extra sense of safety really matters.

Cons

I haven't had any negative experiences with PayPal.

“Paypal business keeps work moving”

Pros

Sending and receiving money through PayPal is really convenient and fast. The app is simple to use and payments usually go through without any hassle. Since using PayPal Business, it has been much simpler to send invoices and collect client payments which has helped organize the way I work. Being able to track transactions, manage my finances and pull reports is also a big advantage.

Cons

Business transaction fees can feel a little steep especially for small business owners dealing with frequent payments. On top of that, occasional fund holds are frustrating, particularly when there are no disputes or other problems involved. I'd appreciate more transparency and flexibility around when funds become available.

“Extensive set of features”

Pros

There are plenty of different features available especially for a small business owner.

Cons

If you run a business, they can hold your money for up to 3 weeks.

“Never disappoints”

Pros

It feels like that dependable friend you can always count on for handling payments. It's simple to use, fast and secure and it really makes things more convenient. Using PayPal is simple and the interface is very user-friendly.

Cons

It works well for me and I haven't run into any problems with it.

“Simple for new users”

Pros

Getting started is very simple and transactions happen quickly. The interface feels user-friendly even for someone using it for the first time.

Cons

The service fees are quite expensive and the fraud department really needs better customer service training.

“Feature-packed system”

Pros

Paypal offers a lot of useful features, whether you need it for personal payments or for running a business. It also connects with so many other platforms which makes using it across different systems feel smooth. In my business, it has been a payment processor I can really trust.

Cons

One thing that bothers me is having to wait 3-5 business days for money to reach my bank account unless I pay an extra fee for instant transfer.

“Converts funds into different currencies”

Pros

It has been a reliable way for me to send and receive money online quickly and securely. Adding my credit and debit cards was simple and I can keep an eye on all my transactions without any trouble. I also appreciate being able to convert funds into different currencies through PayPal.

Cons

The account can get limited whenever a transaction is flagged as suspicious.

“Easy to integrate”

Pros

This tool is widely used around the world, simple to integrate and it lets us offer a 4-installment payment option at no extra cost without needing any additional service.

Cons

This service is essential for an ecommerce site so we still end up being dependent on any potential price increases.

“Better than paying by card”

Pros

Makes me feel much more secure especially when I'm buying from websites I haven't used before. I'd much rather pay through PayPal than hand over my credit card details directly.

Cons

There are no downsides that I noticed.

“Quick payment processing”

Pros

Getting paid by international customers is very convenient and the payment processing time is fairly quick.

Cons

The payment process does not feel fully secure and the transaction technology seems a bit outdated. When a payment dispute comes up, reaching customer service is very difficult.
