Check the official status page for a component-level breakdown: www.paypal-status.com

PayPal outage FAQ
Is PayPal down right now?
We check paypal.com from outside PayPal's network. If checkout is failing but the site loads, the payments API may be degraded — see PayPal's official status page.
PayPal checkout fails on my store — is it PayPal or my integration?
If PayPal's status page shows no incident, the problem is more likely in your integration or credentials. Monitoring your checkout flow end-to-end catches breakages either way.
