Ratings and reviews

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.
