PayPal Software Reviews

“can send and receive money”

Pros

It is the platform I use for most of my transactions and I can send and receive money without any trouble or having my funds held up.

Cons

What I like least is the fee charged when sending money through goods and services and I also think there should be a proper option for depositing money.

“Simple fund transfers”

Pros

Transferring funds is simple and the platform is very user friendly overall.

Cons

Getting the business account set up was a bit complex on that side of the process.

“Safer online checkout option”

Pros

It lets me shop online without having to put my banking information at risk which makes paying feel a lot more secure.

Cons

not everyone accepts it as a payment method.

“Perfect for online game payouts”

Pros

PayPal is one of the banking apps I use regularly and it works really well when I'm playing games online and getting paid for it. I just wish Capterra allowed us to use it for their Rewards too.

Cons

One issue I ran into was linking PayPal with other online banks like my time account and my credit union.

“Sending money is effortless”

Pros

Sending and receiving money through it feels really simple and convenient.

Cons

There is a fee involved and it depends on the percentage of the amount you send or receive.

“Helps send money instantly”

Pros

Being able to send money instantly is really convenient and the option to pay in 4 installments for online purchases is a big plus.

Cons

I'm not completely happy with the customer support because it can sometimes be difficult to get in touch with them. It can also be challenging for newer businesses to unlock certain upgrades like having funds released, unless they've already hit a required number of sales or other milestones.

“fast payments across currencies”

Pros

Receiving payments from different cards and currencies has been really convenient with this software.

Cons

The only part I'm not happy with is the fees because they feel too expensive.

“appears on the cart pages”

Pros

Plenty of websites already have it built in so it automatically appears on the cart page during checkout.

Cons

The instant transfer fee is the one part I'm not really a fan of.

“Extra security for online purchases”

Pros

It gives me added peace of mind whenever I buy something online which is a big reason I enjoy using it. I appreciate it both as a customer making my own purchases and as an employee who also uses it to help process payments for other customers.

Cons

Something I'd still like to see is more flexibility for splitting a bill into multiple payments. The 4-payment option is nice and I do use it but I wish there were a few more choices available.

“Allows me to pay online”

Pros

PayPal gives me a secure way to connect my bank account online and make payments internationally without much worry.

Cons

customer service can be better. Considering how much they charge in transaction fees on sales payments and even on withdrawals, they really should improve their customer support platform.

“Accessible for users”

Pros

Getting started with it is simple and it's accessible to most people who want to use it.

Cons

Whenever there's a dispute, PayPal seems to assume the merchant is at fault.

“Incredible dispute resolution”

Pros

Using it for purchases makes online transactions feel much more secure. Their dispute resolution is hard to beat and when a refund is justified, they process it as quickly as possible.

Cons

I really have nothing negative to mention. The service has been excellent.

“Automation that saves time”

Pros

I really appreciate how efficiently the platform handles automation. It makes it simple to automate just about everything and saves a lot of time.

Cons

The messaging feature could use some work because it feels a little slow at times.

“broad support”

Pros

Its easy to use, transfers happen quickly and it's accepted across a wide range of sites and platforms.

Cons

accounts can be limited or even shut down without a clear reason and resolving it is really difficult. The same goes for money being put on hold with little explanation. When issues come up, phone support isn't always very useful and some of the site menus get confusing when you need to handle more advanced tasks.

“Saved details make checkout faster”

Pros

Having my details stored means I don't have to enter everything again every time I shop online.

Cons

Looking up previous payment information can feel a little frustrating at times.

“Love using it”

Pros

Sending and receiving money with family and friends is really simple which is something I love about using it.

Cons

I do not like that they charge a convenience fee to receive funds.

“Commonly accepted and user-friendly”

Pros

The application is very user-friendly, feels simple from the start and is accepted worldwide.

Cons

I personally prefer PayPal though other people may choose a different option. There are simply too many electronic payment systems available.

“Decent software”

Pros

Sending money to family and friends is really simple with it. It also works really well for quick checkout on a lot of different websites, including eBay. Another thing I appreciate is being able to create an invoice and email it to someone whenever I need to.

Cons

Overall everything has been good. They did block one payment once but after I contacted them, it was sorted out. Honestly that is probably a good thing since security matters.

“Bank linking works well”

Pros

Connecting it with other banks is really convenient and doesn't take much effort.

Cons

I didn't enjoy dealing with frequent fraudulent emails.

“Outstanding service”

Pros

Making and receiving payments through it is really simple. The platform also does an excellent job with customer service and transaction support. My favorite part is the buyer protection which gives you help when something doesn't go as expected.

Cons

I honestly don't have any real complaints about PayPal. Overall it has been a very good piece of software.
