It works very well and it's compatible with google pay and Apple pay.
You can add any bank card to it, it's compatible with google pay and Apple pay. And I will probably recommend this to anyone.
There is a service fee If you decide to add other cards.

Paypal is an all in one solution enabling credit, debit, paypal, venmo, apple pay and google pay.
The brand recognition is huge! So many people use or at least know of paypal that offering it increases consumer confidence.
Some of the company policies and practices do not line up with ours.

Pay Pal - Delores and Talena send their small deposits by clicking the blue send button. They follow the easy instructions using Google Play. I gave some payments to [SENSITIVE CONTENT] from Google Hangouts and by-products with my Pay Pal Debit Master Plastic Card.
Pay Pal - I give my Personal Business Website to my targeted market of residents like [SENSITIVE CONTENT] who have a willing mind giving $20.00 only to see $19.00 reflected in my Pay Pal Available Balance. You're clients stay at their home.
Pay Pal - [SENSITIVE CONTENT] sent $300 into my Pay Pal Available Balance, but Pay Pal Holding Inc put a "HOLD" on my account. So I had to wait another month to receive my payment that came quicker because I buy products.

I have been using PayPal for 5-6 years now and I think is the best way to purchase things. it has a really good customer support for refunds
Maybe it could be a bank one day so I would pay things on stores with PayPal credit card on Apple/Google Pay

I didnt like it all all, I'll never use it again that's why I switched to google pay!
The best thing about pay pal is it lays out purchases for easy recording.
I didnt like the face that they put a hold on my money because they said i have been active in a while so they put my money on hold. That was very frustrating so I switched to google pay:)

I think that as far as being able to manage different payments it’s a trusted source but they really need to dig deeper to get customer options that other companies can’t or won’t provide
It’s well known and trusted so you can do a lot of business with it. J
I think that it could use more features. Like being able to send money by text or something different that Apple Pay and google pay don’t have

PayPal simply makes it easier to conduct business (whether corporate or personal).
PayPal has become one of the easiest ways to make or receive payment. Whether in e-commerce or just paying someone for picking up lunch, it's nearly instantaneous and very easy to use. There are many great companies that have similar products (and that work very well), but PayPal is still the industry standard
There really isn't much left to be desired when it comes to PayPal. I suppose more brick-and-mortar POS options similar to what Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and Apple Pay have, but that's all.

Overall, I love the I got PayPal. I really needed it, because Google pay doesn't always work properly, but PayPal is reliable
I haven't had any particular safety issues or concerns with PayPal. I trust it very much and when I am shopping online, I can check out using PayPal, rather than having to go find my wallet
I'd always heard stories about how scammers would make you sign up for PayPal and drain your account

I love Paypal to pay safely online. It is the only platform that I use to pay for my online shopping with ease.
Paypal is a platform to pay safely for all your online shopping. I find it really easy to use and intuitive. I use it for online shopping, but also to pay for my apps on Google Play Store.
I find that the taxes we have to pay for the transactions sometimes are really high and should be lower.

Paypal is really beneficial for my business needs, i am doing some reviews and videos with some third party websites and they pay me using paypal. Also google adds pay me for the blog's using the same platform.
I like more than one features of this application like it is really easy to join and register. It has all the security checks and authentication which is much needed for a payment gateway. Easy to add account and transfer the money from paypal to bank account and vise versa.
I have not found anything unlikely with this product.But i think it would be better if they could speed up the payment process.

Paypal is accepted in many webshops. It is nearly the only digital payment solution you need when ordering online. The buyers protection makes it more attractive than CreditCard.
Paypal offers the option to create a virtual debit card (through google pay). Why don't show this card so that I can use it where I cannot pay with PayPal?

I originally set up Paypal to buy and sell on ebay but have used it for receiving money from certain surveys, studies and selling some items on Facebook marketplace sales. It's now just one of many tools I use to make payments.
I have been using Paypal since 1999 for ebay purchases and sales. Since amazon came along and my ebay purchases have decline paypal has learned to integrate themselves into multiple platforms and e-sales websites. I have paid for a multitude of items, bills and sent money to friends for lodging or tickets using PayPal
It's losing relevance with Google Pay, Amazon Pay, and Venmo. I have used Venmo more than anything lately for transferring or receiving money for transactions between friends or for marketplace sales.

I am quite satisfied with PayPal but it should be accepted on all the realtail stores like Google pay that will make more sense
PayPal is very fast and easy money transfer utility. One of my credit union do not support ACH transfer with my checking account with other banks that easy. So I do transfer to first to my PayPal cash account and from there to checking account. It's very fast and secure. Like the one touch payment login option as wel on my cellphone as do not have to enter all the details fro making any online payment.
PayPal is not accepted or availble at all retail stores. If it's availble I may never swipe my credit cards at stores

Quite good experience overall for their feature set.
Extremely easy to use interface, one of the longest living app / website so quite trustworthy to use.

Overall, I am satisfied enough to stick with them. Hopefully after all this covid crap, customer service will pick up and be better adjusted to handle it professionally.
I love being able to send instant funds. Whether it's to my family (especially my teenagers who seem to always need money) or for a purchase. I really appreciate being able to use my account on Samsung Pay and Google Pay.
I think what's missing for me is the layout. I can't seem to find things when I need them. Having multiple accounts can cause some major confusion on their end. Customer Service has really fallen off. Long hold times, lots of transferring to the wrong customer service agent, no clear answers from them either.

For international transaction PayPal is good but it's very difficult to use. I think PayPal try to make their application simple & clean like Google pay.
24/7 transaction monitoring & fraud prevention and Seller Protection help keep my business PCI compliant.
PayPal offers many services for free and others for nominal fees & also they have a bad customer service.

I like that most online services are able to accept Paypal, easily.
When I checkout with Paypal on Desktop, it takes me to a one-click confirmation button which completes the transaction; unlike using a credit card.
Paypal is becoming more limited in use, with rising competition from digital wallets. I'd used Google Pay to pay for groceries in the past. In Amazon, I don't even have to think about paying.

Google pay trumps it from time to time, availability of the actual service seems limited, the dollar use a transfer is frowned at.

I’ve been using PayPal since the beginning of ebay days. It’s easy and dependable. I once had to call customer service to change my email and bank account, and unbelievable enough, it wasn’t outsourced. I talked to an English speaking American. (Not to take anything away from people of other countries or languages, but because of my own ignorance, I can only speak and understand English). Anyway, it was a pleasant easy experience. Would recommend highly.
PayPal is one of the first pay apps out there, there are a lot more out there now including Venmo, Zelle, google pay. But this one is still the easiest and although I could be wrong, but charges the least % for instant payment transfer. Good solid app.
Not a lot of extra functions, pretty straight forward. Doesn’t have the extra “flair” and social interaction of say Venmo. Also kinda annoying you still get charged for instant transfer.

Still good app, but need more features to make it a 5 star app.
Paypal is easy to use on its own, like transfer money, request money, lots of online shopping website support it. Most important it's secure as the payment went through a 3rd party first like Paypal, after a period, if there is no dispute or any issue, the fund will release to merchant. I like this most, as I feel safe when I shopping online or made payment to others.
The features still limited, like I always compare the biggest competitor like Wechat pay or Ali Pay in China, Paypal lack of a payment method like wallet, such as Apply Pay, Google Pay, nowadays don't like carry wallet, so those e-wallet is important, I really hope that Paypal add more feature to make it like an instant payment method.

The feature of Paypal, to transfer money across the world is very reliable. There is no such hustle of doing paperwork anymore with PayPal. Moreover, we can pay through credit cards as well.
I think it's not efficient money transfer gateway in comparison with other relevant software like google pay, Paytm, Amazon Pay. The Transparency with the user is not great when making a money transfer or paying to a vendor online.

I still use google pay when I visit abroad, especially Singapore or Australia, because in my opinion, it makes it easier for me to transact there, especially the transportation.
I used Google Pay for the first time to transact in Singapore, and I was helped by the smooth tapping process on buses and trains. As well as many shops that have supported shopping there. And made easy with the payment method using PayPal where I save my money for overseas transactions on PayPal.
In my first setup, I have to spend a lot of time there, the verification process in my opinion is a bit long compared to other applications. but I understand that because Google guarantees its users to be safe in transactions.

Easy to use mobile app format. Quick installation and easy setup with credit cards and/or PayPal makes for quick and convenient usage.
This app has all of the features I need but the downside is any loss of internet connection issues. I found it easy to integrate with operational use.

Google pay makes it easy to keep track of my finances. I get alerts and push notifications in case of overdraft or low balance. Transferring funds takes little effort, and I can easily see all my transactions.

I don't have anything negative to say about the software.

De momento estamos probando Google Pay, queremos una alternativa a Paypal y a otro procesador de pagos que tenemos para evitar comisiones.
La facilidad (una vez lo implementas) que tienen los clientes para pagar, lo sencillo que es empezar y que de momento sea totalmente gratuito, son sin duda alguna las mejores ventajas de Google Pay.
Es demasiado básico, con otros procesadores tienes más opciones, y aunque sin comisiones ni nada parece bueno, seguramente luego empiecen como Paypal, a cobrar por transacción una cuantía fija y luego una parte variable, esperemos que dentro de mucho, cuando tengan mucho nicho de mercado.
