What to check first for PayPal
For PayPal, start by separating paypal.com public reachability, payment authorization, and checkout confirmation. A reachable paypal.com does not prove every PayPal workflow is healthy.
- Confirm paypal.com reachability and compare it with Official website.
- Test payment authorization and checkout confirmation before changing account, device, or DNS settings.
- If you see paypal: storefront works but checkout fails, keep the timestamp, final URL, and failing action for support or incident review.
Official PayPal sources
Use these provider-controlled or provider-owned sources after the live check, especially when the verdict is mixed or the issue only affects one workflow.
Official website
Confirms whether the primary paypal.com web surface is reachable outside the WebsiteDown.org probe.
PayPal Status
Public PayPal service status and incident communication.
PayPal Help Center
Official support for checkout, wallet, and account recovery.
PayPal Community
Community reports that help confirm incident breadth.
Common PayPal outage signs
These patterns help distinguish full paypal.com downtime from partial service degradation, account problems, or route-specific failures.
When PayPal only fails for you
Use these steps when WebsiteDown.org or official sources suggest PayPal is generally reachable, but your own session still fails.
- Run the live check, then test browsing, sign-in, and checkout or booking as separate flows.
- Avoid repeated purchase attempts during mixed or down signals until confirmation paths stabilize.
- Capture order/cart error code, timestamp, and device before contacting PayPal support.
How to check if PayPal is down
Use this workflow to compare the WebsiteDown.org result with official sources, your own browser, and a second network before changing account or device settings.
How we check PayPal
WebsiteDown.org checks public reachability for paypal.com and separates that signal from product-specific symptoms inside PayPal.
The PayPal profile on this page is scoped to paypal.com, categorized as Ecommerce & Payments / Payments, and grouped under paypal. It cross-checks related hosts (www.paypal.com, paypal-community.com, paypal.com), uses verification sources such as Official website, PayPal Status, PayPal Help Center, PayPal Community, and compares nearby diagnostics including Amazon, Uber, Airbnb, Booking.com so parent, child, and sibling service outages do not get blended together.
- paypal.com Public Reachability: Confirms whether paypal.com responds from regional probes before you investigate PayPal app-specific symptoms.
- Payment Authorization: Sign-in and session paths can fail while public PayPal pages still load, so this is checked as a separate outage clue.
- Checkout Confirmation: Commerce flows can break after the storefront loads, so this separates buying or payment symptoms from basic reachability.
- Receipt Or Webhook Delivery: API and developer paths can diverge from the public site, especially during platform or authentication incidents.
- Storefront Availability: Tracks the storefront availability workflow as a separate PayPal signal, useful when the homepage and user reports disagree.
Why trust this PayPal check?
WebsiteDown.org keeps the live verdict, official sources, and service profile separate so you can see what is measured and what still needs confirmation.
- The live result is a reachability signal for paypal.com from multiple regions, not a claim that every private PayPal workflow is healthy.
- The service profile is built from curated diagnostic fields: checked surfaces, failure modes, related hosts, official sources, and limitations.
- Official PayPal links are shown separately so you can verify provider-controlled status and support information before escalating.
