It's very rare for me to talk about my personal experience with software but for PayPal-Checkout it will be an injustice if I maintain the silence. What I enjoyed most. The fact that I didn't have to get back to my PayPal account in order to initiate payment securely was a life-changing experience for me. All the necessary steps for the PayPal-Checkout are automated and I don't have to provide the information manually whenever I need to make payment. A secure connection is offered and the billing information together with shipping automatically generated at a click of a button. What a nice experience? Thanks to technology. I already had a PayPal account at the time I discovered about the PayPal-Checkout making me enjoy an easy time to make all my payment. The software is very greats since it doesn't transfer any cost to the buyer when used for making payment hence very cost effective. When I first interacted with the platform and I was able to receive all the information including the payment transaction ID which proved it was now more real to me. Since I use the same software to receive payment, the steps to enable my API setting and access were very easy when I created my online store. The checkout option supports may merchants and I was able to receive payment and notifications at the right time. > > **Cons**: Some of the limitations. No perfect platform can be without a few loopholes and this is some of the disadvantages I have experience when using PayPal-Checkout sing. You must have a PayPal account to enjoy convince caused, the connection can be affected by slow internet connection and inability to pay merchants without ready APIs. In my opinion, PayPal-Checkout is the greatest move that has happened in our time hence we must embrace it. > > For the many years, I have used PayPal for my payments both as a merchant and a buyer, the new development on PayPal-Checkout has given me a true and new experience. As a frequent shopper with PayPal set as my payment option, using PayPal-Checkout have given me choice, control and freedom for easy payment. When I visit most of my shopping sites, I realized the situation was the same and the payment process completed in minutes and in very easy steps. ----- ### "Easy to use payment processor" — 5.0/5 > **Adam** | *11 May 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I think their best feat would be the ease of initially setting up the account and sending invoices, their customer service is top-notch. When I had emergencies I was able to get hold of them even during weekends. > > **Cons**: The only con that made me reconsider using the Paypal Commerce Platform was the transaction holdups at the beginning and the source of funds verification that I needed to provide to their customer service to be able to unfreeze the transactions. This was prominent in the beginning of implementing this solution. > > After almost 3 years of using PayPal, it is still the only platform that I send invoices from outside of offline banking. ----- ### "Last Resort" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 November 2024* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: That I can send and receive money and have the ability to invoice customers. > > **Cons**: It can take a long time to process payments to my account, they charge fees and they are not known to be very secure. ----- ### "PayPal's Commerce platform is a great business tool to use" — 4.0/5 > **Tamara** | *19 May 2023* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The commerce platform from PayPal is well made and straight forward. It is quick, somewhat simple and easy accessible. It provides all of the tools that you may need for business transactions and invoicing, receiving and sending of funds and reporting. > > **Cons**: Some of the functions lag from time to time, reload in the middle of the data entry process, but it is not an often occurrence. The platform does not have many glitches or major down sides, it will give you some headache from time to time but it is stable, safe and secure - and that is what matters. > > Using PayPal Commerce Platform has overall been a pleasure and a joy, as you know that your transactions, data and funds are secure and accessible any time you need them.

Can be access from anywhere (international services feature). > > **Cons**: Have not identify any cons so far. It is providing the right feature for the purpose. Some domestic features in certain countries may not be useable due to local rules, but this is outside paypal's control. > > A default, go-to platform for small to medium firms.
