PayPal’s official status page says: Under maintenance. This page checks it again when you load it, at most every 5 minutes.
The most recent incident PayPal reported was “PayPal Live Site Maintenance (PP-LIVE-110012)”, 12 days ago (2026-10-16 08:00 UTC). None of its incidents in the last 90 days were a full outage.
Do not retry a payment that may have gone through; check the dashboard first, and keep orders pending until the provider confirms.
The feed entries carry event references like 'PP-LIVE-110012' — maintenance entries are announced as scheduled events with a maintenance window in the detail page, while incidents are unplanned disruptions.
Not necessarily — PayPal reports merchant-facing products and the live site as separate events in its history feed. Match the event title to whether it's an API/merchant or consumer-site issue.
If the status above is operational but PayPal still fails for you, the cause is probably on your side: try another network, clear the cache, or check your own connection. If it shows a degradation or an outage, others are affected too.
OpenUptime checks your site every minute and sends an alert to Slack, Telegram, email or a webhook the moment it stops responding. It is open source and free to start.
