Is PayPal down?

We can't fully confirm PayPal's status right now. PayPal doesn't publish a status feed, and a basic reachability check can't tell whether its servers are down. Status here is community-reported — be the first to report if it's down for you.

PayPal doesn't publish a status feed we can read, and a basic reachability check can't tell whether its servers are down (the website often stays up while the service is down). So DownRN leans on user reports: if lots of people are reporting PayPal down here, it's almost certainly PayPal's side. If reports are quiet, try restarting the app, switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data, or signing out and back in.

Common causes are an upstream provider incident, API rate limits during peak demand, a regional CDN issue, or maintenance. PayPal is currently unknown. We show the official status, our independent check, and a confidence level so you can see which signals point to a real problem.

Good alternatives include Venmo, Cash App, Zelle. We track their live status too, so you can switch to one that's currently operational.

PayPal's official status page is at https://www.paypal-status.com. DownRN reads it automatically and combines it with our own checks and user reports — so you get the answer without juggling tabs.
