About this app
For small business owners who already run sales through PayPal, this is the account dashboard shrunk to a phone. It covers invoicing, sales tracking, money movement and customer records, so the day-to-day admin doesn't have to wait for a laptop. Invoices can be created, sent and followed up from the app, including payment reminders sent straight to the customer. A sales view shows daily figures alongside monthly, quarterly and yearly trends. Money can be moved to a linked bank account, refunds issued, and payments sent. The customer section lists transaction and invoicing history per customer and keeps their contact details handy, with an option to import contacts from the phone. It needs an existing PayPal business account. Taking card payments in person is handled by a separate app, PayPal Here, rather than this one.
PayPal Business: the full guide
What the app is
The PayPal business account dashboard, reduced to a phone. Invoices, sales figures, transfers and customer records are the four jobs, so routine admin does not have to wait for a laptop. It assumes you already run sales through PayPal; there is no onboarding for anyone who does not.
Invoices can be created, sent and chased with reminders. A sales view sets today's takings against monthly, quarterly and annual trends. Money moves to a linked bank, refunds go out, payments are sent. Customer records keep transaction history and contact details, with import from the phone's contacts. Card payments in person belong to a separate app, PayPal Here.
How it works day to day
The morning check is the sales figure: what came in overnight, how the week compares. A job finishes and an invoice goes out from the van before the drive home. A client has not paid in a fortnight, so a reminder is sent from the customer record in two taps.
At the end of the week, the balance moves to the bank. A refund request gets handled from the same screen. Nothing here is complicated, and that is the point: the app replaces a dozen logins at a desk with a few taps between other tasks.
Why people look for it
Sole traders and small business owners who already use PayPal search for it because they want to invoice and move money from wherever they are. The 4.2 rating, lower than most apps in this batch, hints that expectations around a financial tool are high and not always met.
Look and feel
Business apps from financial companies favour clear figures, lists and forms, and the five screenshots will show a sales dashboard, an invoice form, a customer list and a transfer screen. PayPal's design is conservative and recognisable, with its blue palette and plain layouts. Expect function over flair.
