Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the official PayPal status page?

The official PayPal status page is at paypal.statuspage.io. It monitors PayPal Checkout, Braintree, Venmo for Business, and PayPal business services.

Does PayPal status show consumer vs business services?

PayPal's status page focuses on business/developer services (API, Checkout, Payouts). Consumer PayPal.com issues are often reported separately on PayPal's Help Center.

Are PayPal and Braintree status related?

PayPal owns Braintree, and they share infrastructure. Both appear on paypal.statuspage.io, but they can experience independent issues. Check both components.

What happens to checkouts during PayPal outages?

During outages, PayPal buttons may fail to load or return errors. Implement fallback payment methods (Stripe, Square) to ensure checkout continuity during PayPal incidents.

Never rely only on official status pages

Official status pages can be slow to update during outages. Get independent monitoring with PerkyDash to catch issues before official announcements.
