The 'Ready to ship' feature of PayPal Invoicing is unreliable and orders are easily missed, causing customer complaints. You also cannot import multiple line items when creating an invoice via CSV upload.

The convenience of billing customers and their credit card number remains secure because I am not handling their information. I can also verify if they have viewed the invoice or not.

I found it challenging to keep track of the dongle needed to process the payments. If I was not in my office when a client wanted to pay, it was frustrating that I had to pay a higher fee for not using the dongle.
