PayPal Status FAQ

Is PayPal down right now?

PulsAPI checks PayPal every 60 seconds. The verdict at the top of this page reflects the latest check of the official PayPal status feed and refreshes automatically, so what you see is the current PayPal status, not a cached answer.

What should I do if PayPal is not working?

First confirm it is really PayPal: the component list on this page shows whether your failure matches a known outage. If it does, report the issue to inform the community, follow the incident timeline for updates from the PayPal team, and enable any graceful degradation your application supports until PayPal recovers.

How do I check PayPal uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks PayPal uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The current 30-day uptime is 100.00%. A free PulsAPI account unlocks the full 90-day SLA history and incident timeline for PayPal.

How fast does PulsAPI detect PayPal outages?

PulsAPI polls the official PayPal status page every 60 seconds and delivers alerts to Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email in under 4 seconds from detection, usually before most teams notice the outage themselves.

Does PulsAPI track individual PayPal components?

Yes. PulsAPI monitors 20 individual PayPal components, so you can pinpoint exactly which service or region is affected during an incident instead of staring at a generic "service degraded" banner.

Can I get alerts when PayPal goes down?

Yes. Create a PulsAPI account and subscribe to PayPal. You will get an instant alert by email on the free Starter plan, or via Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, and webhooks on paid plans, whenever PayPal status changes.

How do I report a PayPal issue to the community?

Click "Report an issue" at the top of this page, pick the issue type and severity, and optionally add your region and a short note. Reports are anonymous and help other engineers spot PayPal outages early, since official status pages typically lag real incidents by 10 to 20 minutes.

Is there a free way to monitor PayPal?

Yes. PulsAPI's Starter plan includes up to 10 monitored services with email alerts, and the 30-day free trial requires no credit card. You can monitor PayPal alongside up to 9 other services for free at pulsapi.com/signup.
