(KRON) — A widespread PayPal outage reportedly impacted users’ ability to log in to the payment platform Thursday morning. PayPal’s status page showed all systems as operational, however, according to the DownDetector website, the payment app saw a spike in login issues sometime after 6 a.m.
User comments on the DownDetector outage page indicated problems logging into the mobile app, website, and completing transfers. Initial attempts to log into the iOS mobile app version of PayPal in the KRON4 newsroom were also unsuccessful.
A PayPal representative confirmed the outage, telling KRON4 that, “PayPal experienced a brief technical issue impacting users that has since been resolved.”
