### "Be sure to use PayPal for all of your business needs"

June 29, 2026

5.0

I have enjoyed using Paypal for my clients to pay me, especially when I’m doing a project with them that requires a quick payment.

Pros

I really like using PayPal for my business, which allows the client to pay me for a product and it’s really easy to use as a beginner.

Cons

I didn’t like the fact that I have to have a personal account and a business account due to Paypal policy.

### "PayPal POS"

April 7, 2026

5.0

I have used the software several times and have no issues to report. I am very please to use PayPal POS.

Pros

I can use my reader and cell phone to collect payment. The reader is portable, easy to store, and very easy to use.

Cons

Like all recurring payments, PayPal charges for the use of their software. I just discovered a new software called "Cash" that I hope to use in the future. I'm told it does not charge a fee.

### "The easiest way to send and receive money internationally"

April 20, 2026

5.0

I love it. It has made international collection of payments so much easier for me, and despite a few usability issues, it remains one of the tools I trust the most for sending and receiving money quickly.

Pros

What I like the most about PayPal is how fast and simple it is to send and receive money internationally. I think it’s the easiest way to handle cross-border payments, especially for business.

Cons

What I don’t like is that the transaction details are not always very straightforward. At least in my case, I often need to click into the transaction to fully understand what happened, who paid, and what fees or conversions were involved. The detailed tracking and information its always helpful, but I feel the way it presents the information could be much more intuitive and easier to read at first glance.

### "Ease of PayPal Payments for business "

November 13, 2025

5.0

So far I have loved it,, some parts I wish I could change, such as making customization a little bit easier, but overall, It is a great product!

Pros

Recurring payments are easy to set up, and you have a predictable cash flow. PayPal is accepted globally, which makes setting up recurring payments for my clients overseas is so easy.

Cons

Limited customization for the type of work that I do, such as free trials and tiered pricing. The fees can be a little higher when dealing with overseas clients.

### "Reliable, Easy, and Perfect for Small Business Payments"

December 2, 2025

5.0

My overall experience has been excellent. PayPal Recurring Payments has made managing ongoing payments extremely easy and stress-free. Everything runs smoothly in the background, and the reporting features help me stay organized. It has been reliable, user-friendly, and a great tool for keeping my business operations running efficiently. I would definitely recommend it to other small business owners.

Pros

I love how simple and reliable PayPal Recurring Payments are. The setup is quick, the dashboard is easy to understand, and it’s very convenient to manage customer subscriptions and payment schedules. I appreciate that everything is automated, secure, and clearly tracked, which saves me so much time as a business owner. It gives both me and my customers peace of mind.

Cons

The only thing I would improve is having a little more customization for subscription options and clearer notifications when a payment fails. But overall these are very minor compared to the convenience the system provides.

### "Good company"

April 2, 2026

5.0

It was one of digital payment I used to make my transactions especially for overseas merchants products couldn't find locally.

Pros

This was the first digital payment application I downloaded. It is simple to set up and easy to use for both local and international money transfers. PayPal is a widely accepted payment method used by many online retailers and international sellers for both personal and business transactions. It also provides a secure platform for completing payment transactions.

Cons

The exchange rates offered are often less favorable than those provided by banks or other payment services. As a result, this has become a barrier to using PayPal as frequently as in previous years.

### "PayPal Review - Worth a Shot"

May 18, 2026

5.0

Wonderful platform, I am able to group all my clients under one software and save a lot of time on administrative tasks. I like how it's all automatic.

Pros

Very easy to use and integrates with many platforms. It was easy to send invoices to my clients and they never had any issues with it.

Cons

PayPal's customer support was not the quickest to respond if ever an issue arose. The cut they take is also more than I'd like.

### "Une solution fiable pour automatiser les paiements"

March 23, 2026

5.0

Utilisatrice depuis des années de ce logiciel, je ne peux que recommander ce dernier pour sa facilité d'utilisation

Pros

Le plus gros point fort : tout est automatisé. Une fois l’abonnement configuré, les paiements se déclenchent sans intervention manuelle, ce qui fait gagner du temps et réduit les oublis. Les clients peuvent payer facilement via leur compte PayPal ou par carte, sans devoir ressaisir leurs informations à chaque échéance. Niveau sécurité, les données sensibles ne sont pas partagées directement avec les commerçants.

Cons

Expérience utilisateur parfois moins fluide : Redirection vers PayPal (sortie du site) - Obligation fréquente de créer un compte PayPal

### "Great for monthly sessions and returning clients. "

November 13, 2025

5.0

It has been great and my clients love that they can automatically get charged and book their sessions with me, and once we both get the notification we know it's time for our next session.

Pros

I like that it was easy to install on my website and that my costumers can subscribe to my services and they can get charged on a monthly basis for our sessions.

Cons

The only thing I don't like it is that when I get international clients the processing fee is a little higher than usual.

### "Thumbs up for PayPal"

October 1, 2025

4.0

Overall I would say my experience with PayPal reoccurring payments has been favorable. And I would choose to use it again in the future.

Pros

The ease of setting up and then it’s done. it is very convenient to not have to remind yourself to make the payment each month, just set it up and then it automatically pays it never any late fees or last minutes!!

Cons

On one of my reoccurring payments I could not find a way to manage it from the PayPal site. I had accidentally chosen the wrong payment method that I wanted to use, and I wanted to switch it to another card. It was virtually impossible. I finally had to end up going to the company that was receiving the payment cancel completely go back and start over. It was quite a hassle.
