Excellent and user friends point of sale software and equipment

Very good! We like being able to add folders of our products on the Point of Sale and having images of the products and we like being able to pull informative reports for the transactions. We also like that you can record cash sales too, not just card sales, giving you a complete picture.

Functionality

Pros:

We already had a PayPal account, so was great to have a product that we could link with it. We also like the easy to use overview of inventory and products, so you can easily keep track of sales and stock.

Cons:

You have the option to send customer receipts, but need to add them to your database/customer list to store the information (such as names and emails) for data protection. We (our team) may need to explore this function as we might be missing something, but it feels like this process could be streamlined as adding customer details when you have a queue of customers feels like it takes perhaps a little longer than is comfortable for customers.

Reasons for choosing PayPal Point of Sale

Because we already had a PayPal account, so the Zettle card readers and POS system could be linked directly to the account. We also found the fees were the most competitive overall at the time of our research.

A Great Way to Accept Credit Cards With Your Cell Phone

Previously 4

I subscribe to another credit card processor, but all transactions must take place via the terminal in my office. With Pay Pal Here, I can accept a transaction anywhere else and then transfer the funds manually into my business checking account. Convenience is the main reason I use Pay Pal Here.

Pros:

Pay Pal Here allows me to accept credit cards for my business using my cell phone either with the accompanying dongle or via inputting the card info on my touch screen.

Cons:

The only con I have is that transactions over $500 have very long holds placed on them before the funds are available.

Not an ideal option

Overall it was an expensive option in terms of rates and it was not ideal because each terminal showed sales reports without the ability to put a security lock on that function.

When handling large volumes sometimes we found our account limit had been hit for the day which we weren’t made aware of. All terminals showed key sales information without ability to hide that data.
