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.”
BH

Braden H.

Senior Product Designer

Pros

“That level of accountability built trust and made me feel confident in the platform. While no system is perfect, Fortis consistently demonstrated a willingness to listen, correct problems, and improve the user experience, which ultimately made working with them a positive and worthwhile partnership.”

“The implementation process was far easier than expected, which significantly reduced onboarding time and minimized disruption to our office workflow.”

“Anytime an issue arose—whether it was a question, technical hiccup, or billing concern—their responsiveness stood out.”

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.”
AE

Andrea E.

Illustrator and Designer

Cons

“It felt like I was overspending without knowing it, which led to some frustration.”
DM

Dr. M.

Owner

“Fortis has hidden fees and not specifically described in the contract.”
JD

John D.

Owner

“We tried to reach out to fortis to resolve the issue but came across roadblocks that prevented us form using their product.”
