How to monitor the status of PayPal and all your dependencies?

IsDown is a status page aggregator that monitors if PayPal and all your dependencies are experiencing issues. We combine the status of all the services you dependent and provide a clear view of all your vendors health in one place. We not only monitor official information but also crowdsourced reports. That means that even when PayPal, per example, doesn't report an outage, you will still be notified if other users are experiencing issues.

How IsDown monitors PayPal?

IsDown monitors PayPal health in almost real-time

Every few minutes we go to the status page of PayPal (and 4,522+ other services) and check if they are experiencing issues. We collect the status and outage information of PayPal's 122 components. Also, we not only monitor official sources but also user reports. Sometimes or a lot of times vendors take some time to report an incident, so by monitoring user reports we're able to alert you early.

The moment an issue is detected in PayPal, IsDown sends an alert and updates your status page

Not only you will get notified, but IsDown offers notification filters, so you can choose which issues you want to be notified about. This way you avoid getting all the incidents from PayPal and other services.

One status page to monitor all your external dependencies

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 reports 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.

IsDown and DownDetector help users determine if PayPal is having problems. The big difference is that IsDown is a status page aggregator.

The integration allows us to provide more details about PayPal's Outages, like incident title, description, updates, and the parts of the affected service. Additionally, users can create internal status pages and set up notifications for all their third-party services.
