It’s easy to use and widely accepted, though fees and occasional account-review delays can be frustrating Pros I liked PayPal’s convenience and wide acceptance. It makes online payments quick keeps card details more private and is easy to use across many stores and services Cons Fees can feel high especially for international payments or currency conversion. Account limitations and slower dispute resolution can also be frustrating Switched from [PayNet Banking Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/163173/PayNet-Cloud/) I switched because PayPal is widely recognized, simple for customers to use, and lets me accept payments quickly without requiring customers to enter card Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Secure, Reliable, and Easy-to-Use Online Payment Platform" July 15, 2026 5.0 Overall, PayPal has been a dependable payment solution for both personal and business transactions. It has simplified online payments, invoicing, expense management, and record keeping by providing organized transaction data and easy access to payment history. The platform is easy to use, secure, and widely accepted, making it suitable for international payments as well. Although the fees are higher than some alternatives and occasional verification or minor technical issues can occur, the reliability, security, customer support, and overall functionality make it a service I continue to use with confidence. Pros PayPal offers a secure and user-friendly payment platform that makes sending, receiving, and managing payments very convenient. The interface is intuitive, and setting up an account is straightforward. I especially like the invoicing feature, detailed transaction history, and expense tracking, which make it easier to manage personal and business finances. The platform integrates with many online stores and business tools, saving time during checkout and payment processing. Considering its security features, reliability, and global acceptance, it provides good value for money. Whenever I contacted customer support, the responses were professional and helpful, and most issues were resolved within a reasonable timeframe. Cons The biggest drawback is the transaction and currency conversion fees, which can become expensive for frequent international payments. There are also occasional account verification checks that may temporarily delay access to funds. While the platform is generally stable, I have experienced minor bugs such as delayed transaction status updates or temporary loading issues, although they were usually resolved quickly. I would also appreciate more flexible pricing options and faster resolution for complex support cases. Alternatives considered [Razorpay](https://www.capterra.com/p/179263/Razorpay/) Reason for choosing PayPal I considered Razorpay because it offers strong payment processing capabilities, especially for domestic transactions. However, I chose PayPal because of its wider global acceptance, strong reputation for secure international payments, buyer and seller protection, and straightforward setup. Its easy integration with websites and e-commerce platforms, along with reliable cross-border payment support, made it the better fit for my needs. Review Source Michelle C. CEO Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Convenient and widely accepted, but some payment rules are confusing" July 5, 2026 3.0 Overall, PayPal has been useful for making and receiving payments online. It is a familiar platform that many people trust, and it can make transactions easier when both sides already use PayPal. My experience has mostly been positive, but there are times when the rules, fees, payment source limits, and invoice/payment details are confusing. I would still use PayPal, but I think the platform could be clearer and more user-friendly when explaining payment options and restrictions. Pros PayPal is convenient and widely accepted, which makes it useful for online payments, sending money, receiving payments, and using invoices. I like that many people and businesses already know how to use it, so it is easier than explaining a different payment method. It also gives me some flexibility with different payment sources. Cons Some parts of PayPal can be confusing, especially when trying to understand fees, payment holds, invoices, prepaid cards, or why a payment method is not working the way expected. Customer support and account/payment rules are not always easy to understand, and sometimes it feels like you have to search around to figure out what is actually allowed.

I love all the differeht options customers have to choose from to pay. Its helpful that you can have all your products, pricing, invoicing, billing and received payments. All in one as well as all customer information and it tracks sales automatically. Pros The simplicity of invoicing and customer tracking for a small business. The variety of payment options they provide. Direct messaging for customers from the app itself. For any issues or feedback. Cons Can create listing for your products, but they don't offer their own store front. If you're nit real tech savy. It can be rather overwhelming trying to integrate paypal as a payment option, on your website. Alternatives considered [Shopify](https://www.capterra.com/p/83891/Shopify/) Reason for choosing PayPal Shopify all though offers a store front. It didn't offer many of the all around small business options my company was needing for tracking income and expenses. Review Source MA Muhammad A. Technical Project Manager Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 2+ years ### "9 Years of Reliable, Secure, and Easy Payments" August 20, 2026 4.0 Overall, my experience with PayPal over the past 9 years has been a positive one. It's become my go-to platform for sending and receiving payments on a daily basis, thanks to how easy it is to use, how secure it feels, and how widely it's accepted almost everywhere I need to pay or get paid. The invoicing and transaction history features have made it simple to stay organized, and having everything in one place has saved me from needing separate tools for expense tracking. That said, it hasn't been entirely without friction. Every now and then, a payment method gets rejected without a clear reason, which can be inconvenient when I'm in the middle of a transaction. I've also learned to be mindful of timing when withdrawing funds, since fees tend to run higher mid-month. Even with those occasional issues, the consistency and reliability I've experienced over nearly a decade outweigh the drawbacks. PayPal remains a trusted part of how I manage payments both personally and professionally. Pros I've been using PayPal for about 9 years now for sending and receiving payments on a daily basis, and it's held up consistently well across that time. Value for Money: For the convenience and reliability it offers, PayPal is well worth it. Standard transactions are straightforward, and the fees feel reasonable compared to the peace of mind and functionality you get in return. Ease of Use: This is where PayPal really shines. The interface is intuitive and simple to navigate, whether I'm sending money, checking my balance, or reviewing past transactions. Even after all these years, it still feels effortless to use. Customer Support: When I've needed help, support has generally been responsive and able to resolve issues without too much back and forth. Invoicing: The invoicing feature has been useful for keeping payment requests organized and professional-looking, making it easy to bill for work or track what's owed. Expense Management: Having a clear transaction history makes it easy to track spending and payments over time, which helps me stay on top of my finances without needing a separate tool. Data Management: I appreciate having all my payment history in one place — it makes it simple to go back and reference past transactions whenever I need to. Bugs and Issues: Over 9 years of daily use, I've run into very few technical issues, and the platform has felt stable and dependable overall. After nearly a decade of relying on PayPal daily, what stands out most is its consistency — it's secure, accepted almost everywhere, and easy to use, which is exactly what I need for both personal and work-related payments. Cons While PayPal has been reliable overall, there are a couple of things that stand out as drawbacks. Occasionally, it rejects payment methods for no clear reason, which can be frustrating when I'm trying to complete a transaction quickly. I've also noticed that withdrawal fees tend to be a bit higher when I need to withdraw funds in the middle of the month, which makes timing my withdrawals something I have to think about rather than just doing it whenever I need to. Alternatives considered [Payoneer](https://www.capterra.com/p/187086/Payoneer/) Reason for choosing PayPal I chose PayPal over Payoneer primarily because of how fast withdrawals and transfers are. Speed matters a lot for my day-to-day payment needs, and PayPal has consistently delivered quicker access to funds compared to what I've experienced or heard about with Payoneer. Combined with its wide acceptance and the ease of integrating it into my own site's checkout, it made PayPal the more practical choice for both receiving client payments and managing everyday transactions.

I have never had a problem receiving funds, payouts work seamlessly and fast, and my data is always there when I need it. Pros I like that PayPal has a trusted name and is widely used by consumers. I also like that I can use it to ship customer orders. Cons With the PayPal Integration with Shipstation I feel that it actually was easier to ship an order in PayPal before Shipstation. Also when I have had fraud/bot orders come thru and peoples credit card was charged PayPal would charge me an extra fee eventhough it was not my fault that someone bad used someone elses card to place orders. Alternatives considered [WooCommerce](https://www.capterra.com/p/225601/WooCommerce/)[Stripe](https://www.capterra.com/p/123889/Stripe/) Reason for choosing PayPal I actually use Paypal in addition to other products because customers like to have options.

Not efficient at all. Pros It’s easy to understand and use even for beginners. I used it for personal use when ordering online so I wouldn’t use my main card. Cons The experience with contacting customer support. I had an issue and they told me to wait 1 to 5 business days for the issue to be resolved but it’s been over a month now and still hasn’t been resolved.

But for our business it is just a necessary evil. So use it for person shopping and convenience. But for the business side we like to diversify our payment options. Pros It is super easy to use. Sign up is free. And My boss and I use it for weekly grocery shopping. And it is accepted everywhere which keeps us from always getting hurt with fees. Cons The transaction fees are extremely high. So if we take it as payment we are usually hit with 2.9% fee. All kinds of hidden fees and customer service does not help in anyway.

Also, I can split bill which is very useful for restaurant bills. Pros I like to send money instant using PayPal. It is straightforward and the money gets instantly sent.

It simplifies sending and receiving money across different countries and platforms while reducing friction in online transactions. The ease of setup, broad integration support, and trusted reputation make it a practical option for freelancers, e-commerce businesses, and everyday users. While fees and occasional account review delays are drawbacks, the convenience and accessibility generally outweigh those issues for regular online payment needs. Pros PayPal makes online payments fast and convenient, especially for international transactions and freelance payments. The platform is easy to use, integrates well with many websites and e-commerce platforms, and offers strong buyer protection that increases trust during transactions. I also like how quickly invoices and payment requests can be created, which helps streamline small business operations. The mobile app is reliable and makes it easy to monitor transactions on the go. Cons Transaction and currency conversion fees can become expensive, especially for international payments or high transaction volumes. Account limitations or security reviews can sometimes happen unexpectedly, and resolving those issues through customer support may take longer than expected. The interface is generally simple, but some advanced settings and dispute processes could be more transparent and easier to navigate. Switched from [Stripe](https://www.capterra.com/p/123889/Stripe/) We switched to PayPal because it was easier for customers to use, widely trusted, and simpler to integrate across different payment workflows.

Owner Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Take the good with the bad" March 23, 2026 4.0 I’ve had a pretty mixed experience using PayPal over time. On the one hand, it’s incredibly convenient. Setting up an account was quick, and I like not having to enter my card details every time I make an online purchase. Sending and receiving money is usually fast and straightforward, which makes it useful for splitting bills or paying people without much hassle. One of the biggest positives for me has been the sense of security. Knowing there’s some level of buyer protection gives me peace of mind when shopping online, especially from sellers I’m not familiar with. That said, there are definitely downsides. The fees can be frustrating, especially for certain transactions or when dealing with international payments. It sometimes feels like small amounts get chipped away more than expected. Another issue I’ve run into is how sensitive the system can be—there have been moments where transfers were delayed or my account was briefly limited, and it wasn’t always clear why. Overall, I’d say PayPal is reliable and convenient for everyday use, especially for online purchases, but it’s not perfect. It works well most of the time, but when problems come up, they can be a bit frustrating to deal with. Pros PayPal is a convenient and widely accepted payment method. Setting up a PayPal account is easy and hassle-free. Additionally, PayPal is accepted at many retailers, further enhancing its ease of use and convenience. Cons I have reservations about certain functionalities of PayPal. There are numerous scams associated with PayPal, and perpetrators often face minimal consequences. Additionally, PayPal lacks adequate protections for sellers. Consumers can fraudulently claim that goods or services have not been rendered, leading to a reversal of payment. The fees associated with certain transactions can end up feeling more like a penalty rather than a necessity.

It is the most reliable way to handle international transactions and guest checkouts, which is why I continue to use it despite the high fees. It provides a level of security that makes me comfortable, even if the administrative side of the platform feels outdated and automated Pros PayPal excels at Expense Management because of its near universal acceptance. I find the Invoicing tools to be logically structured, making it simple to request payments from clients without needing a separate accounting suite. The ease of use for the app is high, super user friendly and the real time notifications provide excellent visibility into my cash flow. It is a reliable backbone for both professional and personal transactions. Cons The most significant issue is the Customer Support, which relies too heavily on automated systems that struggle with nuanced problems. I have also encountered occasional bugs and issues regarding the Data Management of transaction history, specifically when trying to export large date ranges for tax purposes. The fee structure for receiving international payments can be kinda steep compared to emerging competitors too Alternatives considered [Stripe](https://www.capterra.com/p/123889/Stripe/) Reason for choosing PayPal I chose PayPal because of its superior global brand recognition. While Stripe has a better API, PayPal is the most trusted name for guest checkouts, which reduces cart abandonment for my clients Review Source Maragaret L.

Pros I have used PayPal for many years, but I recently created an online store and I'm now using it with my store shopping cart for purchasing. I'm very happy with the results and it was easy to set up. Cons That it doesn't offer a large range of other payment solutions with the cart. I would also like to offer other solutions to ensure more sales from people who may not use PayPal. However it does offer most credit cards and checks.

The ability to manage transactions from both desktop and mobile devices adds to its overall convenience. For businesses, it offers a professional payment experience that customers already trust. Cons One aspect I liked least about PayPal is the transaction and currency conversion fees, which can become expensive for frequent international users. Customer support can sometimes be slow when dealing with account limitations or dispute resolutions. There are occasional delays in fund availability, and account reviews may temporarily restrict access to funds, which can be frustrating for businesses. While bugs are not common, some users may experience occasional issues with payment processing or account verification that require additional follow-up. Review Source AE Amrin E.

Its wide acceptance across e-commerce websites and integration with many business platforms make it convenient for both personal and professional use. Overall, PayPal saves time, reduces payment hassles, and provides a reliable experience for managing online transactions.

Sending money to friends or family takes only a few steps, and there is no need to deal with bank details each time. It feels quick and convenient, especially for small day to day transactions. From a value for money perspective, it is useful because basic personal transfers usually do not feel complicated or expensive. It works well for splitting bills, paying for online purchases, or receiving money without any extra effort. Ease of use is probably the strongest part. The app is straightforward, and everything is placed where it is easy to find. Even without much experience, it is easy to understand how to send money, check history, or manage settings. For invoicing, it is handy when requesting money from someone. It gives a clean and simple way to send a payment request, which is useful for informal work or shared expenses. Customer support is available when needed, though most personal users may not need it often. When issues come up, there are clear help options inside the app. Expense and data management is helpful for tracking personal spending. It is easy to look back at past payments, which makes it simple to keep an eye on where money is going or to settle shared costs later. Cons What I like least is mainly the fees. Even small transfers can sometimes come with charges, especially if currency conversion is involved or if it is not a straightforward bank funded payment. It can feel a bit frustrating when a simple transaction ends up costing more than expected. Another downside is that account limitations can happen without much warning. In some cases, access to funds or certain features may get restricted temporarily, and the verification process can take time to resolve. Review Source ML Murphy L.

Review Source AA Anis A. Software developer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "My review About Paypal" March 23, 2026 5.0 PayPal is actually one the most intuitive and well designed suite of financial services that I have ever seen or utilized. The issue many face is they do not give themselves the presence and time to realize how thoughtfully designed it is to be able to manage literally ALL of your money from dozens of revenue streams, if not more, from all across the globe. It's pretty awesome actually. Just take some time to clock on everything and read and it will all make sense. Pros I want to tell the PayPal community how incredible PayPal's assistant is, in simpler terms, it is the most efficient, most comprehensive automated chat I have ever had the pleasure of using. We've all tried dealing with our account issues using 24 hour chats and let's have it they're usually extremely frustrating and one ends up leaving them hanging after finally giving up. I'm my job, I am awake and taking care of business during graveyard hours then sitting all day so I have most of my business interaction at night when customer service has closed. Most of not all automated features are poorly designed with limited abilities for accomplishing even the most simple of tasks. However PayPal has somehow found a way to offer a chat not that can redoing to your questions as if it were a human entity. I'm so impressed with it I couldn't believe my eyes, who of this I'm speaking to? Open a PayPal account to see what I mean, I'll bet you will be amazed at it's uncanny abilities, and you will leave the sure feeling satisfied and at peace with your session! Cons PayPal provides a useful pay in 4 options but has no actual customer service for solutions regarding the program. Not one customer service representative has any information on how the program works. I currently have 3 active PI4 accounts but then when trying the option for a purchase for far less than my available loan option amount I reason a denial reason of “Application information tied to unusual activity” but I can get no details of what the unusual activity actually is.

The buyer protection and widespread acceptance also make it a reliable option for both personal and professional use. Cons What I like least about PayPal is the fee structure and occasional account limitations. Transaction fees, especially for instant transfers or business-related payments, can add up.

It stands out for its ease of use and trusted reputation. However, improvements in customer support, fee transparency, and app stability would significantly enhance the user experience. Pros Ease of Use: PayPal has a very intuitive interface. Sending and receiving money is quick and doesn’t require much technical knowledge, making it beginner-friendly. Global Reach & Value for Money: It’s extremely useful for international transactions. While fees exist, the convenience and trust factor often justify the cost, especially for freelancers or small businesses. Invoicing: The invoicing feature is clean and professional. Creating and sending invoices takes just a few clicks, which is great for managing small-scale business payments. Security: Strong buyer and seller protection policies give confidence while transacting online. Cons Customer Support: Response times can be slow, and resolving issues sometimes takes longer than expected. Direct human support isn’t always easy to access. Fees: Transaction and currency conversion fees can feel high, especially for frequent users or small payments. Bugs and Issues: Occasional app glitches like delayed notifications or login issues can disrupt the experience. Refunds: Refund processing can be inconsistent while some are quick, others take several days, which can be frustrating. Customization: Limited options for customizing invoices or dashboards compared to more advanced tools. Review Source Terynne I.

I continue to use it mainly because customers are comfortable with it and recognize the brand. While it’s convenient and familiar, there are better, more flexible, and more cost-effective options available for businesses. Pros PayPal is very well known and most customers already trust it, which makes checkout feel easy and familiar for them. It’s fairly simple to use on both the business and customer side, and that comfort level definitely helps reduce friction when people are paying. Cons I really don’t like that PayPal can hold your funds with little warning. As a business owner, that lack of control over your own money is frustrating. The fees are also higher compared to competitors like Stripe, and the inability to fully turn off shipping options adds unnecessary limitations for service-based businesses.
