The most compelling aspect of PayPal Invoicing is how seamlessly it integrates invoicing with payment processing, eliminating the friction that plagued my previous workflows. Creating professional invoices takes minutes rather than hours, and the interface is refreshingly intuitive without unnecessary complexity. The platform supports multiple payment methods including credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay, Venmo, and Pay Later options, which removes payment barriers for clients and accelerates cash collection.
The mobile application deserves special recognition because it allows me to generate and send invoices from anywhere, maintaining business continuity even when traveling.
The automated payment tracking system eliminates manual status checks, automatically updating each invoice and recording payment status in real-time.
Customizable templates accommodate different billing structures whether charging by time, quantity, or flat fees, and the ability to add logos and brand elements gives invoices a professional polish. The recurring invoice feature is particularly valuable for subscription-based work, automating what would otherwise be repetitive manual tasks.
International capabilities stand out significantly because the platform supports transactions in 200+ markets and 24 currencies. When working with overseas clients, PayPal Invoicing functions as what I consider a strategic advantage, simplifying cross-border payment complexities that traditionally involved currency conversions and international wire transfers.
The batch invoicing functionality and API access enable scaling operations without proportionally increasing administrative burden. Automated payment reminders eliminate the awkward follow-up conversations, sending notifications to clients automatically when payments are overdue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The transaction fees become burdensome at scale, particularly the standard 2.9% + $0.60 per card transaction, with American Express cards costing even more at 3.4% + $0.60. For businesses processing significant invoice volumes, these percentages compound into substantial costs that exceed what many dedicated payment processors charge. The currency conversion rates are inferior compared to specialized foreign exchange services, which impacts profitability when dealing with international transactions.
