About PayPal
PayPal is a digital payment processor used for online shopping, peer-to-peer transfers, and merchant credit card processing. The platform supports a variety of functions including the PayPal Checkout button, Venmo integrations, and business invoicing tools for small and large retailers. Users notice issues when transaction authorizations fail, balance transfers are delayed, or the API returns errors during checkout. Rimetry tracks the health of these financial systems by performing regular availability checks to confirm if the payment gateway is functioning correctly for everyone.
PayPal (paypal.com) is a banking service monitored continuously by rimetry from multiple global regions. We probe its public endpoints every 60 seconds to detect outages, latency spikes, and regional degradations the moment they happen.
Right now PayPal is reporting as operational across our probes, with an average response time of 8 ms and 100.00% uptime over the last 24 hours. Most users connecting to paypal.com are seeing it work normally.
Common causes of disruption for services like PayPal include backend API failures, region-specific routing problems at the CDN or ISP layer, expired TLS certificates, DNS misconfigurations, and capacity spikes during major events. rimetry combines automated probes, vendor status feeds, and verified community reports to give you a single high-confidence answer instead of guessing.

What is PayPal?
Online payments.
PayPal is part of our Banking category. You can also review current trending outages across the internet.
Common issues
- · Login or two-factor approval fails
- · Balances and transactions won't load
- · Transfers rejected or stuck as pending
- · Card authorisations declined at checkout
Similar patterns often surface across other banking providers — cross-check against the global outage map.
Troubleshooting
- · Avoid resubmitting a payment that appeared to fail — check the transaction list first
- · Confirm push approval notifications aren't blocked on your phone
- · Try the mobile app and web banking separately; they often fail independently
- · Restart your phone if two-factor prompts never arrive
- · Contact your bank directly for anything involving money that already left the account
- · Check PayPal's official social channels
