Ratings and reviews

I have been using PayPal POS since it was Zettle. While overall i am basically happy with it other than a few issues. There doesn't seem to be a way to reprint or send a receipt once the transaction has completed. You cannot split payment types (part cash/part card. and lastly, I really wish there was a PC based option. I have a lot of operational and customer facing things that I need to do from the PC but also have to have a tablet in the same space. Everything from PC would be awesome.

Here's something no one thought of, add an option to apply Zettles CC fees to the total purchase with one tap. This isn't ridiculously hard but you're making it hard for us to justify using this service. I have to manually key in the amount after trying to remember 3 different percentage amounts for tap, card not present, etc. fees. Then I have to manually calculate the difference on top of the total causing me to lose time while at a customer location. Such a dumb oversight.

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.
