Overview

PayPal provides an end-to-end suite of tools that can integrate with a business's existing systems and service providers. Its network of shoppers and businesses provides AI-driven data insights to help businesses reach new customers and drive results.

Paystand is an agentic B2B payment network that gives finance teams policy-based spend control and a faster way to pay vendors and contractors across borders. As expense management software, it checks a purchase request against policy the moment it is made, in Slack or Microsoft Teams.

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

“I primarily use Teampay for submitting reimbursements related to company benefits, travel expenses, and employee recognition or award purchases.”
SL

Sarah L.

Customer Education Specialist

“The Slack prompts made it simple to submit a request for a card to be issued, and I really like that Teampay also shows me account updates—like when a transaction is declined—right in Slack.”
IM

Inga M.

CRM Manager

“I can very easily start typing the vendor name, easily find my department in the dropdown, easily locate the class for the purchase and upload a quote. ”
JC

January C.

Simulation Coordinator

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

“After scheduling a meeting to explore whether Paystand might be a fit for my needs, I received an unilateral cancellation with no prior discussion accompanied by a condescending explanation that I didn't generate enough revenue to warrant their time.”
DJ

David J.

Founder and CEO

“The auto-selected categories for physical cards are generally never correct. If a user selects the Sales-transportation category for an Uber ride, it seems like the Sales category will be selected for all other Uber purchases regardless if the user is in sales.”
JH

John H.

Accounting Manager

“I didn't do the integration but as far as I can tell you can only create expense POs in NetSuite and not items which makes matching challenging when there are an uncertain number of payments of uncertain amount.”
