PayPal POS (ex Zettle)

This app simply does not work and will keep rerouting you in circles around the login page when you try to access anything. Try to click on a service, it asks you to login, and once you've logged in then you're right back at the same menu screen. Although Square POS takes a very slightly larger percentage of each payment, it's worth using Square instead. It actually works perfectly the first time and has hundreds of more options than PayPal. PayPal may be a popular name but it cannot compete.

So far, I like the PayPal Here App better. I liked how PayPal Here had both custom amount and percent amount for tip and that it was the same place that the customer signed. You didn't have to ask the customer for a tip. They just saw it when they went to sign. Also, the card reader they gave me doesn't have a swipe reader. Some credit cards or gift cards don't have a chip, and if I have to enter it manually then I get charged more.

Pretty decent little point of sale system that works great for me! The only improvement I would make to the app itself is that I wish there was a better way of sorting items I have for sale. (Ex: I sell lots of jewelry at different price points. It would be helpful to have a Folder option, where I could select Necklaces, for example, then be able to sort all of my necklace listings there.) When you have many items for sale, the tiles can get cluttered and it's hard to find what you need quickly.

In a word: horrible. Despite having had to pay $80 for each reader, they barely work. Every single transaction requires the reader to reconnect with the app, a process that takes anywhere from 2-5 minutes. Other times a transaction will stop processing so the reader can reconnect again, causing the sale to have to be redone. This app and the overpriced readers are slow, cumbersome, and unreliable.

I had a PP account for 21 years, never had an issue before. PayPal Here worked great. Didn't want to switch to Zettle, but I had no choice. The first time I used Zettle point of sale, my account got blocked. Funds frozen, couldn't even issue a refund to my customer. Glad, I have Square. I'd like to get my money back for the card reader, since it is useless now.
