Activation with PayPal - Moving to trial format (A...

Unfortunately, the data coming back following this launch says that there are a couple of pain points which need to be addressed. These pain points are causing some unexpected drop-outs during the activation process – which is not ideal for our new members.

As such, we’re going to be working on improving our PayPal experience for activation by means of a trial. This means that over the next few months, PayPal may intermittently not be available in activation or will be available with a changed appearance whilst we trial these changes.

We apologise for the slight backtrack in functionality, but we want to make sure that we create an experience that makes life easier for everyone. We’ll be working closely with PayPal to ensure everything works as it should.

Please note that PayPal will continue to be fully available for existing members as this trial only applies to activation.

Thanks,
Riaz

Great stuff! There's nothing worse than experiencing problems when you first go to a new company for a service so if you can iron out the "pain points" there should be more members sticking with us and recommending to friends & family, plus fewer frustrated cries for help on the forum. All win 😊

Good point @riaz7 newcomers need to be welcomed and registration needs to be smooth.

@riaz7 this is great. There are always some teething problems. Glad you and the giffgaff team are working on improving the paypal activation experience.

Hi @riaz7 sometimes there are issues at least you and the team have found them and working on fixing and improving the paypal activation experience via the trial.

I guess sometimes we have to make things worse before they get better! Paypal is worth waiting for
