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 sandbox environment works well enough for testing different payment scenarios before you push anything to production. Plus, the transaction logs are detailed, which really helps when you're debugging failed payments or trying to track down issues our users report.”
YO

Yusuf O.

Lead Software Engineer

“Using PayPal’s instant transfer feature has saved me a lot of hassle. Whenever I need to move money between my business account and personal wallet, the button pops up right in the checkout and the funds arrive within minutes, so I never have to wait for a bank transfer to clear.”
JP

Jessica P.

Finance Manager

Pros

“Depending on which card service merchant is used, clients can pay online and the payment is credited to their account immediately. ”
JO

Jane O.

Office Manager

“Also, have the new time entry intuitively in line with the other time entries so it flows to put in multiple time entries without having to go to the top menu to add a new entry.”
JF

James F.

Senior Tax Accountant

“Decreased the amount of time spent looking for files and time keeping was better.”
JO

Jane O.

Office Manager

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

“The high processing and cross-border transaction fees and strict security policies that can unexpectedly freeze accounts or hold funds without fast access to human customer support is the biggest pain point for me”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Ekpono A.

Software Engineer

“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.”

Self-Employed

Cons

“A bit "laggy" accessing our firm page at times due to technical issues caused by Microsoft servers, items outside the control of TPS. ”
DU

Dwayne U.

Partner

“Some of the functions were less user friendly than others and it took calls to TPS to clarify. But overall, very little to dislike.”
SM

Sandra M.

Office Manager

“it's a little slow when you start typing in a client name as it's trying to find it in the database.”
