User reviews

Preferred it as Zettle

It still works well but PayPal insist on pushing adverts for extra options that we aren’t interested in.
Support from the Zettle people is always brilliant so glad they’re still around!

Literally does not work

Can’t log into the app on my tablet or phone. Only online. Dafuq? Fix it! I’ve already bought the POS machine

Keeps signing out

Used this app since it was settle. Since changing to PayPal POS it is now really buggy and constantly signs me out. Also some buttons (like send link) just disappear and I have to close the app and reload.

Used to be great before PayPal got involved

Was once a no brainer of a platform… now it seems the product team is on a mission to ensure the app is as user unfriendly as possible. Every log in starts with the customary log in / forced update / log in again / update again etc, which if you’re lucky lasts only three rounds. As you can imagine, this is particularly enjoyable when a client prospect is waiting to take a payment while you pray the oversubscribed wifi gives you a break.
In the meantime, SumUp don’t seem quite as interested in sabotaging your business.
Good luck out there

Good, but missing a small feature

I’ve used this system for years with no problems, but I do wish there was an extra tab in the reports section; one that shows transactions for the year. At the moment, there is just a day and month tab; one for the year would be great as this would show the annual sales and fees, needed for accounting. Please consider.
