PayPal Software Reviews

“Low rewards”

Pros

PayPal is a widely recognized name and it integrates with most payment platforms without much trouble for both online transactions and personal use.

Cons

rewards and cashback are extremely limited which is a big downside. Plenty of competitors now offer much better cashback rates as a standard feature and PayPal seems uninterested in improving or updating that part of the service.

“Feels safe and dependable”

Pros

Using it has been very easy since most people already know how it works. It's simple to set up as a payment processing platform and the whole system feels safe and dependable.

Cons

the fees can add up pretty fast which can end up increasing your company's operating costs.

“Global payments without barriers”

Pros

Being able to send and receive payments almost instantly from anywhere in the world has been a huge advantage. One feature I especially appreciate is that even people who don't have a PayPal account can still pay outside of PayPal using their credit cards.

Cons

My account got limited toward the end of last year and getting it restored took a long back-and-forth with customer support.

“Account blocks over tiny amounts”

Pros

Nothing positive to mention. The platform is awful, both in terms of usability and the quality of customer support.

Cons

They block your account and make you provide justification for an amount that is less than two hundred reais.

“Widely accepted online payments”

Pros

It's accepted almost everywhere which makes it a reliable option for most online transactions.

Cons

The design and overall interface feel a bit outdated.

“international payments made simple”

Pros

One thing that really helps is being able to receive money from people in other countries.

Cons

The app works but getting around it could definitely be more simple.

“Card details kept safe”

Pros

It feels simple and I appreciate that my card details aren't being shared with third parties.

Cons

Can't think of anything about it that I dislike.

“Fantastic global payment solution”

Pros

So easy to manage. The mobile app makes sending and receiving money much more convenient and I really appreciate that it works as a global payment solution since I can use it across different countries.

Cons

I haven't run into any complications on my end.

“hassle-free fund transfers”

Pros

I like how widely accepted it is across different platforms and banking apps. It makes moving money between accounts very convenient and I can link multiple accounts however I need without much hassle.

Cons

transfers are not free unless they are from one PayPal account to another. I have also run into repeated problems with unclaimed funds being put on hold even when the money is being moved from my own account to another one of my accounts and chat support has not been helpful.

“can pay for purchases”

Pros

Being able to pay for purchases and move money straight to my bank is really convenient.

Cons

The only thing I'd change is the fee charged when you want your money transferred to the bank right away.

“Simple account set up”

Pros

Setting up an account is simple and its worldwide reach makes it possible to receive money from just about anywhere.

Cons

Payments can be held for a long time and accounts sometimes get closed without any clear explanation.

“Appreciate the privacy”

Pros

Appreciate the privacy it gives me, whether I'm using it to make payments or to receive money from others.

Cons

Honestly I don't have any real complaints since it handles what I need just fine.

“Great for online shopping”

Pros

Shopping online feels much safer with PayPal and paying on e-commerce sites is fast and convenient. It's also really useful for sending money to friends, family or other people quickly and securely, whether the transfer is domestic or international. Another helpful part is being able to manage subscriptions and recurring payments for streaming platforms software and other monthly or yearly services in one place. It also works well for international payments and currency conversion, offering a practical process and clear rates.

Cons

Exchange rates and fees for international transactions can be fairly high which makes it less favorable when sending or receiving money from abroad. Even though the platform is convenient, the charges on incoming payments can be a real burden especially for freelancers and small businesses since they can cut into profits. Customer support is also a weak spot, as resolving issues can be frustrating because responses are sometimes slow or not very effective.

“Buyer protection feels misleading”

Pros

Available on many websites and fairly simple to use which makes paying online convenient. That said, there seems to be no real guarantee behind it.

Cons

The claims about the guarantee and buyer protection feel misleading and untrue.

“Mpesa withdrawals are fantastic”

Pros

Being able to withdraw money straight to M-Pesa is really convenient and makes using PayPal much more practical.

Cons

The registration process is fairly involved and takes some effort to complete.

“Simplicity is a plus”

Pros

Its simplicity is a big plus. I also really appreciate the sense of security once you enter your password and access your private account area.

Cons

None from what I've personally experienced, it has been a reliable platform for me.

“So convenient”

Pros

It is incredibly convenient because most online stores accept it. Linking it to a bank account is simple and sending or requesting money is just as simple.

Cons

I honestly don't have any complaints about it.

“Hassle-free online payments”

Pros

Paying online with it is probably the best part for me since it makes transactions really convenient.

Cons

At times though, the processing fee feels a little higher than it should be.

“Bank backup option removed”

Pros

When I first started using it, the service was really solid especially because it let me use my bank account as a backup payment method for card transactions.

Cons

That said, they removed the option to use a bank account as a backup payment method on card transactions.

“Buyer protection feels worth it”

Pros

The buyer protection is really solid and it makes the goods and services fee feel justified.

Cons

Finding people can be frustrating. It would be much better if usernames were more commonly used instead of relying on email addresses.
