Zoho CRM adds complexity: third-party integrations outside the Zoho ecosystem are less polished, and some require Zoho Flow or Zapier as middleware

Manually copying data between PayPal and Zoho CRM wastes hours every week that could be spent on revenue-generating work

No single source of truth when contacts live in two disconnected tools, so staff second-guess which system has the correct information

Online orders in PayPal and in-store inventory in Zoho CRM are never in sync, frustrating customers
