Considered Both Products
PayPal Payments Pro
Chose PayPal Payments Pro
They are both great but the reputation of Paypal Payments Pro which has been around a lot longer is a significate difference when dealing with vendors. Paypal Payments Pro is a well respected name and known for making monetary transaction safe and secure . This gives us …
Chose PayPal Payments Pro
It is an excellent alternative, with a great interface, however, we become much more familiar with PayPal Payments because most of our clients and business partners use it, it makes our work environment more pleasant, and we have no problems processing payments.
Chose PayPal Payments Pro
Stipe is a little more complex to use but has better rates. In this particular instance, the client was more familiar with PayPal and wished to go with something they had heard of. They had already used PayPal (and had an account) and said that they felt more comfortable using …
Chose PayPal Payments Pro
We use PayFast to accept local online payments in South Africa. PayFast works well to receive Rands although PayFast does not support invoicing. PayFast does however support recurring payments in the form of a "payment subscription". Payfast has fewer overall features however, …
Chose PayPal Payments Pro
I believe Cash App and Venmo are better ways to transfer money with better customer service and support and so many less restrictions.
Chose PayPal Payments Pro
From my personal experience, PayPal Payments is by far the easiest to implement and better supported and documented. Other options are either over complicated or too expensive.
Chose PayPal Payments Pro
PayPal is much easier to use and it gave me options to pay through PayPal directly when doing online purchases. Costs were also more advantageous as I wouldn't have large amounts of money to transfer.
Chose PayPal Payments Pro
Stripe is not as robust as PayPal. PayPal offers way more services and features compared to Stripe. Stripe is a good platform that integrates well with other software. But Stripe doesn't have all the benefits that a giant like PayPal has. Stripe is a bit more difficult to set …
Chose PayPal Payments Pro
For us, TransferWise was a very good option to be able to send and receive payments, it is a very reliable system and allowed our employees to receive payroll money safely, however, the reason we prefer PayPal Payments is because offers us a more instantaneous receipt of money, …
Chose PayPal Payments Pro
Stripe has lower fees which I like better, but money takes longer to reach my bank.

I haven't heard of Stripe freezing people's funds either, which is a major concern of mine in continuing to use PayPal.
Chose PayPal Payments Pro
PayPal Payments, at the end of the day, was an easy sell to management and an auto integration with our eCommerce software. We already informally accepted PayPal for international customers to reduce risk, and taking it a step further was an easy next step. It was a one or …
Chose PayPal Payments Pro
We use authorize.net on one of our other websites as the payment processor. It is good too but definitely took a while to integrate because of some issues. PayPal Payments was much easier.
Chose PayPal Payments Pro
I don't think there's really any competition here. There's Venmo (also owned by PayPal) who is now offering business accounts, but it still isn't quite the same.

The closest thing in terms of ease of use would be Apple Pay or Google Pay (and there are a handful of others out …
Chose PayPal Payments Pro
PayPal Payments is probably the lowest-grade product compared to Wave Accounting and HoneyBook. It is very basic where Wave gives you more detailed reports about your income/expenses, the ability to track your expenses, personalize your account more, and other features. The …
Chose PayPal Payments Pro
  • On the micropayments side, PayPal Payments was the clear victor, charging significantly less as compare to other payment gateways in past.
  • PayPal Payments used to return our original processing fee in the past.
  • PayPal Payments is currently available in over 200 countries/regions …
Chose PayPal Payments Pro
We chose PayPal Payments about 10 years ago because it was easy to get up and running. We had not considered using another provider until recently when we had a less-than-positive experience with PayPal customer service. Stripe is an up-and-coming competitor with PayPal …
Chose PayPal Payments Pro
  • Paytm is an Indian competitor of PayPal Payments. Which supports UPI transactions, but not easy to make international payments like PayPal.
  • RazorPay is another product. I have tried to use it in one of my project, but later changed my mind to PayPal Payments because of some …
Chose PayPal Payments Pro
We didn't go for any other alternatives to PayPal Payments, as it's considered the gold standard for accepting quick payments.
Chose PayPal Payments Pro
PayPal Payments is simple to implement and use. Most of the clients prefer to use PayPal Payments instead of other similar services, sustaining the choice of implementing the tool as a digital service for online payments. I would suggest adopting it as an additional service to …
Chose PayPal Payments Pro
We use PayPal Payments largely because it's easy and all of our partners, on the supply side and the client side, can use it, too. It makes the payment process simple and fast, and many partners already use PayPal Payments, so it saves them time, too. We trust the name PayPal …
Chose PayPal Payments Pro
We use other products for other situations, but as far as sending money PayPal is hard to beat. We've used Square POS at live events to collect donations and payments for tickets, simply because the swipe accessory for iPhone was convenient and easy to use. We haven't had live …
Chose PayPal Payments Pro
I have used Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, Amazon Pay, and others only because they are popular with other people who wished to be paid that way. I got PayPal first, years ago, have used it on our website for our customers, and still like it the best. I have another friend who runs …
Chose PayPal Payments Pro
PayPal was one of the first companies to offer the swipe via phone equipment and feature for sales and easily integrated products from the e-commerce site. Although other companies began and do offer the same features, PayPal was/is the most well-known and established payment …
Chose PayPal Payments Pro
PayPal Payments is probably my favorite payment app because it is the most intuitive, it is easy to use, and it is also one of the longest standing apps which has given ample time to become familiar with it and ensure that it works well. It allows employees to designate one …
Chose PayPal Payments Pro
I have not used any other payment apps other than PayPal.

Chose Paypro Workforce Management
Paypro Workforce Management does stack up to other companies because of the customer service and the user-friendly, accessible website.
Chose Paypro Workforce Management
Paypro Workforce Management has much better reporting and data storage than Adams Keegan.
Chose Paypro Workforce Management
Better customer service.
Better understanding of my corporate environment.
More knowledgeable staff.
Chose Paypro Workforce Management
We used to use PayChex which we were not satisfied with and did not meet our needs.
Chose Paypro Workforce Management
Our company only uses the payroll and the time and attendance .
Chose Paypro Workforce Management
Payroll was a horror with ADP. There was never a smooth processing of data. It was almost impossible to get a rep on the phone and when I did - it took no less than an hour (or more) to get the issue resolved. Paypro is a smooth process from beginning to end. If I have a …
Chose Paypro Workforce Management
We investigated some lower-cost SMB solutions but for the most part, the absence of a strong support team just wasn’t worth it.
Chose Paypro Workforce Management
We looked at a number of solutions. To us, Paypro simply had everything we needed at a fair price, and they've been easy to deal with from the sale, implementation and customer service.
Chose Paypro Workforce Management
We have used in-house systems, ADP Total Source, and Valiant Services. This system, in my opinion, is more user-friendly and faster than others. We have more control on our end to process with flexibility that other systems just did not offer.
Chose Paypro Workforce Management
PayPro is very good at customer service. I love the one to one relationship I have with PayPro. When it comes to dealing with Vendors relationships are tricky. Customer service is a HUGE factor and PayPro excels at that! Previous Vendors could care less about our needs. We …
Chose Paypro Workforce Management
Used ADP TotalSource prior to Workforce. Customer service was not ideal and nickle and dimed everything. I used Paychex Flex at my previous location. Report writing was much easier and less cumbersome with Paychex.
Chose Paypro Workforce Management
Paypro is a million times better in every way than Paychex. I think ADP is more widely used. I had only ever used it for payroll and timesheets, so I think Paypro is equal to ADP in regards to those components. The positive of using Paypro over ADP, I think, would be the …

Paypal is great for personal payments as well as business payments for ecommerce of for paying monthly memberships. It is a user friendly software that needs little expertise to get used to. For larger payments, the fees become high therefore it is more suitable for payments of upto few hundred dollars.

Paypro Workforce Management has custom report building that is easy to use and manipulate for data you need to pull. The onboarding system is overly complicated and not user friendly. Workflows are overly complicated and a workflow for PAFs is non-existent, causing our company to have to use paper PAF forms.

Cons
  • Sometimes the UX flow would not deliver the customer back to our site, leaving orders in limbo "Pre-approved" status. The customer would call days later asking why we hadn't shipped it.
  • The PayPal logo on the checkout page can be kind of large and obtrusive.
  • They mention new features and programs on their login page, but it's hard to find any details on them deeper in the software.

  • Report Writing: Canned reports are antiquated like a dinosaur. Users should be able to design their own reports like all other systems. Click and it's there. Currently, it's not at all what it can be.
  • Very rigid with contract: meaning when a rule change and/or policy has changed the company is charged in order to make the change.
  • Integration within the system. There are times when you change the information in the system then it randomly changes another section.

Usability

The system is very thorough, has an efficient layout, and is very user-friendly. It can handle massive amounts of data and spit it out in manageable and useful chunks. We obtain tons of workable data from the various reports that the system can provide us. When it comes to payroll and HR, it can handle everything that you need.

Support Rating
Customer service representatives were unable to explain why customer in Australia were unable to make payments using our link. It turned out that customers in Australia must create an account. PayPal's user interface did not reveal this to our customers in Australia. There was plenty about this issue appearing in online forums and PayPal customer service couldn't explain this. This change in PayPal's usability happened between April and May of 2021 and was done without notice to vendors (like us).

Support has been amazing from day one! As an organization, we have challenged PayPro with some unique requests and every time they have figured out how to accommodate the request and make it work. Not to say they get it right on the first try but they work any issues all the way through until they get it right.

For us, TransferWise was a very good option to be able to send and receive payments, it is a very reliable system and allowed our employees to receive payroll money safely, however, the reason we prefer PayPal Payments is because offers us a more instantaneous receipt of money, TransferWise made us wait several days for payments to be completed, we had to wait a long time for our employees to receive the money we sent them. PayPal Payments is very different, payments are completed instantly, the only delay is the one that is placed with the freezing of funds when sending money to a new employee.

Payroll was a horror with ADP. There was never a smooth processing of data. It was almost impossible to get a rep on the phone and when I did - it took no less than an hour (or more) to get the issue resolved. Paypro is a smooth process from beginning to end. If I have a problem I send an email or call a member from out dedicated team and the issue is taken care of quickly.

Return on Investment
  • In the past year we've lost a couple hundred dollars due to cancelled payment agreements
  • Due to the large percentage who choose PayPal Payments, it's brought in thousands in sales that may have been abandoned otherwise
  • Customers trust PayPal Payments and some feel more comfortable with it rather than putting in their credit card info. It's allowed purchasers who otherwise wouldn't have bought to purchase with the security of not having to enter sensitive payment info.
