FAQ

Is PayPal down right now?

PulsAPI checks PayPal status continuously. The current status is shown at the top of this page and updates every 60 seconds from the official PayPal status page.

What should I do if my system is impacted by a PayPal outage?

If PayPal is down, report the issue above to inform the community, check the incident timeline for resolution updates from the PayPal team, and activate any graceful degradation your application supports while waiting for recovery.

How do I check PayPal uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks PayPal uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The 30-day uptime metric is shown in the sidebar on this page. Sign up for a free account to access the full 90-day SLA history and incident timeline.

How fast does PulsAPI detect PayPal outages?

PulsAPI polls the PayPal official status page every 60 seconds and delivers alerts to Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email in under 4 seconds from detection — faster than most engineers check manually.

Can I get alerts when PayPal goes down?

Yes. Sign up for PulsAPI and subscribe to PayPal. You'll receive instant alerts via email (free), or 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 the "Report an issue" button at the top of this page. Select the issue type, severity, and optionally your region and a note. Community reports are anonymous and help other engineers detect outages before the official status page updates — which typically lags real incidents by 10 to 20 minutes.

Does PulsAPI track individual PayPal components?

Yes, where PayPal exposes component data. The components section above shows each tracked PayPal component and its current status. Component-level granularity lets you pinpoint exactly which part of PayPal is affected — not just a generic "service degraded" banner.

Is there a free way to monitor PayPal?

Yes. PulsAPI's Starter plan includes up to 10 monitored services with email alerts and a 15-day free trial — no credit card required. You can monitor PayPal alongside up to 9 other services for free. Sign up at pulsapi.com/signup to get started.
