Overview
PayPal and Xero have made it easy for you to automatically offer your customers more flexible payment options on invoices, including PayPal, PayPal Credit(1), and mobile payment methods like Venmo(2). Making it easy for your customers to pay means less time chasing money, so you can spend more time on other parts of your business.
(1) PayPal Credit is subject to consumer credit approval. (2) Venmo is available for US shoppers only.

Refuse to use it again
there’s always fees, card fees, invoice and tax fees but as a business using a platform (stripe/xero) that already takes fees for invoicing (not an issue with that, i love this pair) i refuse to pay fees twice, and then again just to transfer it from here to my bank. I’m sticking to strictly card or ach. I have no plans on adding this back to invoicing options.
Person to person, i like the app but, extra fees on top of what’s already being charged… no, not at all. If you plan on it, look thru the fees involved first, check reviews, don’t be fooled

Account restrained for no reason
I am solicitor working in a one person firm. I have been using PayPal for online payments as part of Xero invoicing for about 6 years.
On 10 April 2024 I received a payment from a client that was larger than my usual payments. The client paid my invoice by credit card. Both the client and I are located in Australia.
PayPal unilaterally restrained my account and demanded proof of ID, proof of transaction, information on my business and my bank account statements.
When I contacted customer service at PayPal I was informed the transaction was deemed risky because the amount was large - circa $AUS35k and because the payer was NOT a PayPal user. The payer used his regular bank credit card in this instance. I was informed it may take 1-2 business days to reopen my account and nothing can be done sooner.
I will now cease using PayPal and would not recommend PayPal to any client or friend.
