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

“Live LTL integration works flawlessly in the U.S., and even when a limitation exists (like unsupported live LTL quotes for certain Canadian carriers), their implementation team has been willing to step in and build table rates at no cost.”
FA

Frank A.

Head of Digital

“It can handle extremely complex scenarios—parcel plus LTL freight, geo‑restrictions, address validation, multi‑box products, dimensional packing, PO Box blocking, business vs residential surcharges, and more—with a level of precision that simply isn’t possible natively on most ecommerce platforms.”
FA

Frank A.

Head of Digital

“The UI is clean and logical, the documentation is thorough, and the BigCommerce integration is exceptionally deep (to the point where ShipperHQ adds fields directly to the product edit screen, which is rare for third‑party apps).”
FA

Frank A.

Head of Digital

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

“I know it is COVID, but they need to work on their customer support.”
