About PayPal Status and Outage Monitoring

IsDown has monitored PayPal continuously since May 2021, tracking this Payment Processing for 5 years. Over that time, we've documented 356 outages and incidents, averaging 6.4 per month. When PayPal goes down, incidents typically resolve within 141 minutes based on historical data.

We monitor PayPal's official status page across 122 components. IsDown interprets PayPal statuses (operational and incident) to deliver precise health metrics and filter alerts by the components you actually use.

When PayPal is down, IsDown combines official status data with user reports for early detection. Vendors often delay acknowledging problems, so user reports help us alert you before the official announcement.

Engineering and operations teams rely on IsDown to track PayPal status and receive verified outage alerts through Slack, Teams, PagerDuty, or 20+ other integrations.

How IsDown Monitors PayPal

IsDown checks PayPal's status page every few minutes, across all 122 components. We combine official status data with user reports to detect when PayPal is down, often before the vendor announces it.

When PayPal status changes, IsDown sends alerts to your preferred channels. Filter by severity to skip noise and focus on outages that affect your business.

What you get when monitoring PayPal with IsDown

Track PayPal incidents and downtimes by severity

IsDown checks PayPal official status page for major/minor outages or downtimes. A major outage is when PayPal experiences a critical issue that severely affects one or more services/regions. A minor incident is when PayPal experiences a small issue affecting a small percentage of its customer's applications. An example is the performance degradation of an application. The moment we detect a PayPal outage, we send you an alert and update your dashboard and status page.

Get alerted as soon as users report problems with PayPal

PayPal and other vendors don't always report outages on time. IsDown collects user reports to provide early detection of outages. This way, even without an official status update, you can stay ahead of possible problems.

All the details of PayPal outages and downtimes

IsDown collects all information from the outages published in PayPal status page to provide the context of the outage. If available, we gather the title, description, time of the outage, status, and outage updates. Another important piece of information is the affected services/regions which we use to filter the notifications that impact your business.

Only get alerted on the PayPal outages that impact your business

IsDown monitors PayPal and all their 122 components that can be affected by an outage. IsDown allows you to filter the notifications and status page alerts based on the components you care about. For example, you can choose which components or regions affect your business and filter out all other outages. This way you avoid alert fatigue in your team.
