PayPal Software Reviews

“Fast invoices and clear design”

Pros

The biggest advantage is definitely how incredibly fast invoices and other payments can be processed. The layout is simple, the service is very easy to use and everything is organized in a clear, user-friendly way.

Cons

Up to this point, I haven't noticed any drawbacks.

“Buyer protection that means nothing”

Pros

Nothing at all, just a series of empty promises.

Cons

After using it for the first time, I can already say it will be my last. The advertised buyer protection turned out to be completely meaningless. I was scammed by a fraudulent website and the payment still went through without any issue. When I tried to file a dispute, it kept getting dismissed with no real investigation. Customer support, whether by phone or online, was completely useless and the dispute team rejected my claim outright even after the call center escalated it. I submitted strong evidence, including confirmation from official stores that they had no connection to the fake website, along with a police report and it still ignored everything and let the seller continue. If evidence that strong gets brushed aside, it makes you wonder how it would deal with anyone else's case.

“Good program with room for improvement”

Pros

It's software that helps with carrying out financial transactions.

Cons

A few improvements would be welcome since it still doesn't let you handle every type of transaction.

“Lets me shop at stores in other countries”

Pros

It lets me shop at stores in other countries and it's accepted in a lot of places. It also feels very secure and I don't need to have a credit card to make purchases.

Cons

I'd really like to see it accepted by more stores in my country.

“No negative aspects”

Pros

I really appreciate the level of security this system provides throughout the service.

Cons

There's honestly nothing negative worth pointing out about the system.

“Attentive and cooperative team”

Pros

Any time I've needed assistance, the support team has been attentive, professional and genuinely helpful.

Cons

I honestly don't have any complaints, the platform has been excellent overall.

“Fast payments and helpful support”

Pros

Processing payments and getting paid through PayPal has been really convenient. I also appreciate that if there's ever an issue or discrepancy with the account, it usually doesn't take long to get help from a support agent.

Cons

The part I don't like is that my first payment was held for 21 days and they also place holds on funds when I receive amounts over a certain threshold.

“Works perfectly for us”

Pros

Pretty much everything about it works for me. I feel much safer using it as a payment method instead of giving out my sensitive card details. It's always my first option for online purchases because it's quick to use, simple once you get used to it and very secure. Another big advantage is that it's accepted by almost all online stores and even in many physical shops as well.

Cons

At the beginning, understanding how it worked was not that immediate but after a while it becomes familiar. Sometimes the transfer from the PayPal account to the bank account takes longer than expected although it's not really a major issue.

“Easy to get started”

Pros

Getting started with it was quick and simple and creating an account took almost no time at all.

Cons

I haven't run into any problems or negative experiences while using it.

“Practical for online payments”

Pros

We use it to handle online transactions, whether it's making purchases or paying bills.

Cons

Its availability is restricted depending on the country where you're using it.

“Best way to get paid”

Pros

It is simple to use and it's the best way to receive your money.

Cons

I use this app every day because it's very good and I wish it continued success and growth.

“Fast transfers with zero fees”

Pros

Being able to send money to coworkers, friends and family quickly is one of the best parts especially since it's completely free. The platform is also very simple to use which makes everything even more convenient.

Cons

I really enjoy using it and honestly haven't come across any real downsides, aside from a few very minor bugs in the smartphone app and even those happen very rarely.

“Trusted platform, painful restriction”

Pros

Back when receiving money in Nigeria was still supported, I used it regularly for many years. It always felt reliable to me and I trusted the platform because their website seemed to have no room at all for compromise when it came to security.

Cons

They later stopped allowing Nigerian users to receive money. That change has continued to affect my online transactions up to now.

“transfers from anywhere”

Pros

You can make transfers without having to travel anywhere.

Cons

It isn't available in certain African countries.

“Wonderful app”

Pros

Honestly I'm happy with pretty much everything about it, I think it's a fantastic app.

Cons

The only downside I ran into was that, to withdraw money from it without paying fees, I had to link my bank account.

“Topnotch support”

Pros

Handling financial transactions and making changes is fairly simple and the support team is cooperative when help is needed.

Cons

It does not allow money to be withdrawn to a Redotpay Visa card and sometimes the funds or profits take a long time to be processed.

“Minimal interface”

Pros

Getting around it is pretty simple. The interface is minimal, the navigation is decent and overall it feels user-friendly to use.

Cons

Customer support has room for improvement. Also, a few processes are only accessible or visible on the desktop version.

“Simple for transactions”

Pros

One thing I really appreciate is how simple and convenient the transactions are with PayPal.

Cons

not every country is eligible to use it.

“Makes me feel confident”

Pros

It's a platform that makes me feel confident both about the safety of my data and about receiving payments. Once all the initial verification steps are completed, the amounts are automatically credited to the registered account.

Cons

It doesn't support other payment options such as recurring payments or installment plans.

“Overpriced transfers”

Pros

It's simple to use but that's really the only positive thing I can say about it.

Cons

The transactions are far too expensive and heavily limited. Sending euros to Switzerland into a euro account? Not possible. It automatically converts everything into the local currency and then charges outrageous exchange rate fees. Receiving money through it in euros also doesn't work so people always have to send me CHF instead. Overall it feels like a terrible fee rip-off.
