User reviews

Works intermittently

It keeps canceling tap to pay. Then it refuses to work with Venmo via the QR code. Once it refuses tap to pay, nothing else works either. Reports okay-ish, but would like a clearer picture of basic ticket price, tax AND transaction fees

Don’t do it

Been on Paypal for a lot of years. Mostly a good experience. Unfortunately that has changed. Paypal now only gives you access to the first $300.00 each month. Anything beyond that amount they will hold for several days so they can make sure you aren’t screwing over your customers. That on top of the many fees that they layer on is my reason for this review.

A lot of potential; Needs a Refresh

I have been using the POS app since it was Zettle however, it is in need of a refresh. It is lacking features that Square and other merchants have embedded and its integration with third party tools seems a bit subpar. I also noticed that in the EUR market, they have features released in it that is not available in the US. I hope PayPal begins to invest into the U.S. based app soon. Besides that, money is available right away and transfer to external banks typically post within 1 business day.
