Pros

“The level of customization is excellent: you can easily adapt billing, invoicing, and workflows to match your internal processes without relying heavily on engineering.”

Revops

“The platform is incredibly robust—it handles everything from complex prorated billing to global tax compliance without breaking a sweat. While the initial configuration took some effort, the peace of mind knowing our 'quote-to-cash' process is automated is worth the investment.”

“I like that it integrates with multiple different payment gateways, which allows us to accept a variety of payment methods.”

Pros

“PayPal is the go-to for fast, secure online payments. While not a full accounting tool, it's excellent for collecting payments, sending invoices quickly, and managing basic expense tracking on the go”
SA

Suman A.

Owner,Bookkeeper,TAxPreparer

“The platform is intuitive, widely recognized, and trusted by customers, which helps increase buyer confidence and makes the payment process smoother. While there is room for improvement in areas such as transaction costs, occasional technical issues, and expanded marketing tools, PayPal has remained a valuable part of my business operations.”
BZ

Briana Z.

Art Instructor

“The platform makes complex payment workflows feel simple, with intuitive navigation, clear transaction history, and useful invoicing tools that support both individuals and businesses.”

Cons

“I hate that there is no way to easily exclude tax calculation on a stand alone credit memo and also the pricing is on the higher side.”
MK

Maksim K.

Manager

“You can’t even manually edit a users name on a brand new account.”
AR

Agnes R.

Chief Executive Officer

“Broken mobile checkout experiences Plus, customer support systematically delays responses and repeatedly defers issues, with promises of updates that never arrive.”

Giovanni P.

CEO

Cons

“While PayPal allows you to accept payments and secures everything for both parties, the payment processing fails when people want to pay with a credit card, due to too many verification steps.”
SM

Sandra M.

Owner

“Customer support repeatedly provided generic responses without explaining the reason for the suspension or offering any meaningful appeal process. While PayPal excels in ease of use and is a trusted payment option for customers, the possibility of losing access to your account without explanation makes it difficult for me to recommend relying on it as your primary payment processor.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Victoria T.

Self-Employed

“I was once unable to claim a payment due to PayPal requiring documentation on my end, which, while I appreciate the heightened security, their automated process had an issue in which it wouldn't accept the document I was providing, even though it met the requirements.”
