Splitwise is excited to announce that we’ve upgraded our PayPal integrations on iOS and Android to the latest technology from PayPal. We believe the changes made increase the usability, security, and reliability of the integration.
As part of the upgrade process, the PayPal mobile integration was temporarily unavailable on iOS and Android for several weeks starting Friday, June 29th, 2018. (You may have seen an “under construction” message on the PayPal button.) During the upgrade, the PayPal integration on web (splitwise.com) remained live.
Change Log:
Updated 10/17 Belatedly updated to reflect that the update has been completed and the changes are live; Splitwise+PayPal integration is once again usable on all platforms
Updated 8/20 Updated to reflect late August roll out
Updated 7/16 Updated to reflect expected launch date (early August 2018)

Thank you!!
Love spliwise! Wish u could keep the PayPal functionality on while it is upgraded to newer technology.
Thanks for your kind words Vishal, and apologies for any inconvenience. Please note the Splitwise+PayPal web integration is still live; you can settle Splitwise debts via PayPal by logging into splitwise.com and clicking “Settle up”. Cheers!
How? I am trying to do just that. I click “settle up” but the only option I’m presented is cash payments now (no PayPal option).
When will this PayPal upgrade be completed? It has been over a week!!
Apologies for the inconvenience, PC. We expect the new integration will go live in early August.
What other method of payment can be taken to PayPal is up and running again? I need to settle up and cash payment is not convenient right now.
Hi Josh. You have a couple options:
– Visit splitwise.com to settle your debts; the Splitwise+PayPal web integration is still functioning
– Settle via PayPal directly, then use the Splitwise “record a cash payment” feature to update your balance (Settle up >> record a cash payment)
– If you’re a Venmo user seeking to settle a USD-denominated debt, you should see the “settle with Venmo” option still; though PayPal and Venmo belong to the same company, our Venmo integration is still functioning at this time on all platforms
If you need help please send a note to support@splitwise.com. Thanks!
@Beth Trask Sorry for any trouble! Can you please write support@splitwise.com so we may assist? Thanks
It has been over a month since June 29. Despite the claim that Splitwise+PayPal integration is still functioning, I see no evidence of that. When I attempt to click on the PayPal link, it redirects me to this comments thread. Am I missing something? Thanks.
Sorry for the confusion, Daniel! As mentioned in the post, the Splitwise + PayPal integration is currently under construction on mobile, but it still works for payments made via our website, Splitwise.com. You should be able to log in to Splitwise.com with the same email address + password that you use on our mobile app, and then make a payment by clicking on the appropriate friend and then clicking the “Settle up” button.
Otherwise, you can always make a payment directly through PayPal, then record it as a “cash payment” through the Splitwise app.
We’re working with PayPal to bring back the integration to our mobile apps as soon as possible, and we expect to have that launched in early August. We know it’s a pain to lose this feature temporarily, so apologies for the inconvenience!
Good
Is there an estimated date for PayPal to be added back to the app?
Hi there Dave, we’re working hard with the PayPal team to get this feature live as soon as possible. We expect to have the newer PayPal integration rolled out within the next week or so.
I see that PayPal function is up and running. Is it official release??
I think you guys completely forgot about the completion of this project. I have been using this PayPal integration for quite some time.
