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”

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.”

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.”

Braden H.

Senior Product Designer

Pros

“Good if you plan to use for extended period and ease of adoption to cross reference with other applications thus reducing errors”

Nick N.

Operations Manager

“There is a steep learning curve to master taxes, templates, and automated workflows, and there were some corner cases on refunds that needed additional setup.”

John P.

Transport Broker

“helps with streamline cash flow, payment and record keeping”

Chris L.

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.”

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.”

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.”

Andrea E.

Illustrator and Designer

Cons

“I spent days setting it up and then adding my customers and then getting them to enter their payment info and then creating their subscriptions and associating their payment method just for it to fail to charge and then block my customers from manually paying. ”

Nicole E.

Owner

“A kind to take away is that in the beginning it was a little difficult to understand the instructions to get the implementation started and the wait time to speak to a representative with a little bit longer than I like”
