Ratings and reviews

-Server errors. One example let's people think a purchase is done, walk away, only for the purchase to not have occured. -Recent change made it so refunds don't refund service fee. While it might match industry standards, this was an important differential for me. -Not really a standout in terms of fees. For such a big company one would think the economy of scale would help. -Super slow and under optimized app.

I am not sure what has changed in the last few weeks, but I am having to uninstall and reinstall this app and the invoice app to see newly added items to my online store. It used to sync within secs and now it is not syncing across the store and apps. I add items almost daily, so I am very annoyed. I have contacted support and have done what they suggested: uninstall/reinstall apps, force stop, clear cache, cookies on PC, update Chrome, try another browser, etc. and I am still having the issue.

This most recent version is glitchy. I've ALWAYS had problems connecting the Bluetooth card reader. Usually i would have to go into settings and do the 'connect a new reader' procedure evertime i turned it on. With this most recent update, it will no longer let me access settings... Auto scrolls to the top as soon as I let off or try to click into the settings. I was about to stitch carriers but was about to add settings icon to the main menu, so now I can finally accept cards again.
