Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Very low fees. Much better than credit cards! Integration with Xero is excellent. Handles multi-currency as well.
  • I have been using GoCardless for my business since 2012. When we first started using them they were a small start-up and we had remained loyal and supportive of them for over 7 years.

Cons

  • Getting multi-currency setup correctly in Xero took a few extra steps and wasn't documented clearly at the time (we had to setup an additional clearing account in Xero). But the GoCardless support was very useful, and guided me to the Xero documentation I needed to follow.
  • Sadly their service today is nothing like it was in the past. Over the years there have been some issues with their service but they had generally been helpful in getting things fixed.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • As an independent professional, I rely on PayPal as my primary gateway for receiving cross-border payments from international clients. The platform's automated withdrawal system to local Indian bank account is incredibly efficient, ensuring that my business cash flow remains consistent. Its robust security and KYC protocols provide the peace of mind necessary for managing high-value global transactions.
  • PayPal is a safe and convenient online payment method that offers many benefits. Here are some of the benefits of PayPal: 1. Security: PayPal uses advanced encryption technology to protect payment information to ensure secure online transactions. 2. Speed: PayPal facilitates online payments by allowing users to pay quickly and easily. 3. Accessibility: PayPal is available in many countries around the world and is accepted by many online merchants. 4. Buyer protection: PayPal provides buyer protection that allows consumers to be reimbursed for fraudulent transactions. 5. No transaction fees: PayPal does not charge fees for transactions between PayPal accounts, allowing users to transfer money easily and at no additional cost.
  • I like how quick and accessible it is I’ve been using it for a long time now, it’s good, I also like how I don’t have to remember card numbers.
  • I like its worldwide acceptance and its ability to get different currency into one local currency and that into associated bank account.
  • Convenient to use. You can pay and receive money from anywhere in the world. Financing is also good.

Cons

  • The main drawback is the currency conversion rat, which is often less competitive than mid-market rates for international transfers. Furthermore, while security is a plus, the occasional 24-hour hold on funds can be challenge when managing immediate operational expenses for a small business.
  • Some of the disadvantages of PayPal are: 1. High fees: PayPal often charges higher fees than other online payment options available. 2. Account Freezing Option: PayPal may freeze your account if you make a transaction that may constitute fraud or if you use the service inappropriately. 3. Processing delays: Technical or security issues can sometimes lead to delays in processing payments and refunds. 4. Foreign exchange charges: If you make international payments with PayPal, you may have to pay additional foreign exchange charges. 5. Transaction limits: PayPal may place limits on the amount of money you can send or receive. 6. Potential loss of buyer protection: If you make a payment outside of PayPal, you may lose the buyer protection offered by PayPal.
  • I didn’t have any dislikes really except I don’t really like having to put my email in every time I wish it was only the password.
  • It cuts slightly high tax otherwise nothing to complain about.
  • I changed my account now, but my account was hacked once. Fortunately, there was no financial damage because I did not put any account information, but it was almost a disaster. After that, the safety device that goes through several steps is rather reassuring.
