I'm particularly referring to the speed in which funds are available for spending. It's very simple to swipe the customer's card or enter their payment information and then almost instantly have access to those funds. I the earlier days of PayPal Here, I was one of the fortunate people that received a free card reader. This came in handy as all I had to do was plug it into my iPad and simply swipe the customer's card. The app is somewhat customizable, too. For example, you can specify whether or not you want to require a customer's signature for certain purchase amounts. Also, the app integrates with PayPal Inventory Management as an added convenience if desired. > > **Cons**: The only thing I really dislike about the app is the fact that I am charged a higher percentage on the fee if I manually input the customer's credit/debit card information as opposed to just swiping their card. Sometimes I feel that this is an unfair thing - especially in cases where the customer's card is not properly reading when swiped in the card reader. Lastly, PayPal no longer provides free card readers (unless you're a new user). So, if you need a new, updated card reader you'll have to pay for it. > > PayPal Here makes it super simple to accept payment from my customers. I like that it's linked directly to my PayPal account and that funds are available immediately. Before I started using PayPal Here, I would have customers ask to Cash.app me funds or send them via Venmo. The downside to this was that it wasn't necessarily professional and I had to wait for funds to be transferred to my bank account. ----- ### "It was Great- until they made one little change" — 4.0/5 > **Carol** | *January 23, 2023* | Museums & Institutions | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's free, it's by PayPal so you can trust it and the price can't be beat > > **Cons**: I've let a lot of things slide because it's free, but now that they transfer EVERY credit card transaction to my PayPal account it's terrible to try to reconcile in Quickbooks. The reporting is truly terrible and the customer service is basically non-existent. Try to even find the help section on the PayPal site. It's like they bought and make money off this thing, but don't actually want to support it. > > I needed a quick fix when they were phasing out our version of Quickbooks POS and we wanted something a little more flexible. After spending nearly a month looking for a new system we settled on this one, price is right, processing fees aren't bad, reporting was adequate enough to get by and we expected/hoped that it would get better the longer it was in use in the US, I was very wrong. The 'features' they've added have been mostly useless. ----- ### "Very disappointing" — 2.0/5 > **David** | *October 7, 2022* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: The device is easy to charge and easy to use when taking payments. > > **Cons**: No instant/automatic receipts sent to the user until days later. Also, cannot pair multiple devices to your phone. > > I really hate it. I'm still using the original PayPal app to take payments even though I stopped using the reader. I do not not like Zettle at all. If I knew the problems I would have with it, I would have used Apple Pay or something else in the very beginning. ----- ### "PayPay for the win" — 4.0/5 > **Kristen** | *March 20, 2022* | Insurance Software | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: The availability of use from all different platforms The way I can manage and keep up with my business is amazing its better than Shopify in my opinion and way cheaper. Once you dive into PayPal Zettle you will see differences between them it's much easy to navigate. Very easy to learn a lot about my business I can now see what is trending in my stores online. > > **Cons**: I loved a lot about this software A LOT but the prices can get out of control just make sure you get what you need and not what u want if that makes sense. I ended up with a bigger bill than wanted but still got all services offered and it was still cheaper than shopify. > > Overall I really enjoy using this software its extremely easy to navigate through all my platforms are all hooked right into there I get all my business info. Really it been the best software I have used it seems it has more features than Shopify and cheaper. So its a win-win in my book GREAT JOB PAPPAYL ----- ### "Very convenient in making payment" — 4.0/5 > **Zuhairah** | *January 30, 2021* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: PayPal Here is an amazing payment processing platform that i can make payment for my shopping cart in foreign e-commerce website like Amazon or ebay. It can be install in my smartphone, and i don't have to log-in the platform from my computer, but its offer the same security for my payment account. There are thousand merchant that are accepting PayPal and that make it so convenient. > > **Cons**: The exchange rates from my currency to foreign currency is quite high and so different from other common daily exchange rate that other payment processor are using. On top of that, there are processing fees for the payment transfer. If they can lowering the processing fees, i can see others will use it more often as their payment processor. > > PayPal is secure and i fully trusting their securities regarding my payment account and credit card information that are linked in the platform. All my transaction activities are displayed in the main dashboard so that i can monitor any activity within my account. There are no option for transferring funds to friend \& family in my country, and i hoping it will introduced to us soon. ----- Page: 1 / 93\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2006083/paypal-here-app?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2006083/paypal-here-app) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
