PayPal Zettle: Point of Sale Positive Reviews

Can't Enable Manual Credit Card EntryUpdate: Someone from support finally called me and asked if I was logged in to the app using a Staff Login or the main PayPal login for our account (we were logged in using staff logins). They suggested that we try to log in to the app using the primary administrator login for the PayPal account and then try enabling the manual card entry. This was the solution. Documentation needs to be updated to explain this so other people don't waste time trying to figure out why they can't enable the feature. My organization just switched over to Zettle and bought the new card reader. We completed our first transaction and then proceeded to try to enable Manual Credit Card Entry under Settings in the app (version 7.22.1). We have been trying for days but no matter how many times we press the Activate button, Manual Credit Card Entry always shows as Off. I spoke with Zettle Support 4 days ago but they have yet to provide a working solution. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app and restarted our devices with no success..Version: 7.22.1

Needs workMy company used PayPal here about 2 years and we have gotten use to it. We thought Switching over to kettle would be smooth since PayPal created both systems. We had to redo all of our inventory. The variation set up is completely different from PayPal here and sometimes difficult to setup. I don’t like when taking a sell and you need to create a item that’s not set up in your inventory it doesn’t have a quantity option you can only add one item to the cart. The worse part is the money from sells are not available until the next day unlike PayPal here your money is instantly available in your PayPal account. I think if they fix some of these issues it could possibly be a nice system..Version: 7.21.0

Very easyThis is very easy and convenient for both me and my clients. I love the coupon feature. I can give my clients a discount on services and this will help with repeat sales. I used to use Square but they shut my app down and labeled my business as “high risk” for chargebacks. I was with Square for ten years with not one chargeback. I had no way of even talking with someone. I just got a prerecorded message. Very impersonal. The truth is I started with PayPal prior to Square and and still accepted some payments from PayPal. The Zettle PayPal merge has been nothing but flawless. Now that I’m planning to do some upgrades with my business I’m looking forward to the working capital loan once Zettle and PayPal work out the kinks and details. Square users, sign up with Zettle because Square will close you down and cost your business money with no warning. Lookup the lawsuits Square is facing. Not worth dealing with..Version: 7.49.1

Better than the PayPal here app in every waySwitched to Zettle because I’m sure PayPal Here’s days are numbered. I like the expanded functionality of the Zettle app especially in the inventory management area. The card reader is much nicer than the one I had for PayPal Here. The only issue I have with the Zettle reader is the lack of a swipe reader. I still see some cards without a chip so I cannot accept those now. Its normally prepaid credit cards I see without a chip. The Zettle app is much more responsive than the PayPal here app. The PayPal here app is very laggy on my iPad 7th gen, no such issues on the Zettle app. My Star Micronics TSP100iii Bluetooth receipt printer works perfectly with the Zettle app. My cash drawer (works through the printer) also works… my cash drawer was hit or miss on the PayPal here app requiring me to leave the key hanging out the front to manually open it when it failed to pop open… not the best for security..Version: 7.25.0

Better than expected. Could use some improvement.I upgraded my reader to this from PayPal Here swipe only reader instead of getting the PayPal tap and chip reader. It was easier to use than I had expected and the reader lasted all day without the need to recharge. Some functions I miss from PayPal Here app are 1) an addition (+) button to add multiple custom prices in one transaction instead of clicking on shopping cart>> keypad>> OK for each item, although it was helpful to use the inventory product buttons I had entered ahead of time, and 2) having an option to omit the signature requirement for a purchase under $50. With Covid safety protocol, customers were more hesitant to touch a screen or use a stylus even though hand sanitizer was provided and the stylus was cleaned with disinfectant wipe after every transaction. But contactless payment was much desired..Version: 7.9.0

I love it so farI got use to using PayPal here so I was a little disappointed I had to switch to Zettle because they were discontinuing PayPal here. After reading all the reviews I really got nervous. I read the instructions and set up my Zettle a few days before my event. I saw I had to have 2 transactions before I can start manual so I swipe two transactions for a dollar and then I waited until the next day to activate the manual setting. I also pre set my products with the price as well as pre set the tax and I was good to go. On the day of my event using the machine went smooth and now I actually love it better than the PayPal here machine. I suggest getting familiar with the app and settings a few days before!.Version: 7.47.1

Good Options but an improvement is highly recommended. See review!Good options but one important option isn’t currently available for having the tax to auto-populate as you are entering transactions manually without having every SKU in the product library. You have to turn on the tax every single transaction if entering an amount and description from the Amount selection on the left hand side. You MUST add an option for having taxes to auto populate when entering transactions manually. No Way should a merchant have to remember to edit the tax for every transaction! Good functionality and additional payment options compared to PayPal Here..Version: 7.9.1

A game changerI really don’t understand the negative reviews! I’ve been really pleased with Zettle, ever since PayPal switched over to it for merchant servicing. It connects quickly and processes transactions faster than any other app I’ve used in the past. I can process tap to pay, read chips, type in card numbers, process Venmo or PayPal, all from one app. They also typically transfer the money to my PayPal account in about 1 business day, so I’m not sure why some people are having to wait. Overall I’m very pleased and highly recommend this app!.Version: 7.63.0

Lacking some basic featuresWas not able to enter card numbers manually (card reader hasn’t arrived yet), and not seeing a “link to pay” option which was mentioned as a feature. Not sure if these have been removed for some reason, but makes it challenging given our customer base. Would like to see these features included or have instructions that match the actual app (everything online is for a Zettle Go app which doesn’t seem to be in the App Store anymore) before we start looking for other payment processing options..Version: 7.21.0

Best App and Reader I’ve ever used!Zettle for PayPal is amazing! We had PayPal Here before and had so many issues. Our Middle School PTSA just got the Zettle for PayPal App and readers. We’re a school with over 1,000 students and we sell spirit wear and P.E. Clothes at registration. This App is amazing! So easy to use and so many payment methods available. Parents were so happy they had option to pay via Credit Card, ApplePay, Venmo, or PayPal. Multiple users can be logged into a reader at once through the app. Made registration day run so smooth and quick..Version: 7.31.0

Good app but can use some improvementI loved “PayPal here”, had to switch to this new system and still am figuring out the pros and cons of the new one. Overall, quite user friendly For those who have issues with tax: I freaked out at first that it “doesn’t work right”, but all you need to do is go under settings -> taxes -> turn off the “include tax in prices” function That said, I’d strongly suggest developers have it turned off by default and just give the seller an option to turn it on if needed as tax is generally added on top of listed price in majority of cases.Version: 7.8.0

So freshThis is the bomb! I have used PayPal here for years. The app had messed up so I dumped it to re down load it. Low and behold Zettle popped up! I read and looked at reviews about it. I took a chance and ordered it, yes it costs oh well. Set up was a breeze! Same PayPal account you don’t have to start over entering banking info etc. Just connect and boom you are in. Fees are less than PayPal here. Venmo comes through too. Shoot you don’t even need to purchase gift cards to scan and sell. You can make your own in app and email them!!! I am a resale consignment shop and this works wonderful for me. The only dislike (reason for 4 stars) is…. I wish I could checkout off line. Then when my internet comes back online it would automatically “process/dump”. Otherwise All of my customers love the tap to pay feature and emailed itemized receipts. Keep up the awesome work Rachel.Version: 7.9.0

Nice and simple in the wrong waysNice and simple in a lot of ways but in others it is impossible to navigate. The categorizing feature is really hard to work with and you can’t customize very much. Also allowing tipping but having it as an option AFTER running the card would be nice and if it showed up on the iPad instead of the Zettle card reader. All in all it’s straight forward and easy and has some really nice more detailed features. It would just be nice to have more flexibility with the more basic stuff.Version: 7.40.0

Not very intuitiveThis app needs help. Adding users is almost impossible and takes multiple attempts. The Zettle team needs to be fired. The do not understand common sense when it comes to documentation. They do not trust a Bank Statement information or a 15 year customer. They tried to sign me up as a second account to the a same business rather than delete one created three years prior and was still attached to our checking account by our prior treasurer, amazing..Version: 7.46.0

New Update has issuesFor one, when I type in a customer phone number for a text receipt, the cursor will suddenly jump back when I get to the 2nd to the last digit of the phone number. It does this consistently now. Also since the update when I bring the app back up from the background it gives a “you have no products” screen before it displays my products. It’s a delay that’s caused issues for me..Version: 7.36.0

Money to spend the next day!Zettle puts the sales money in your PayPal account the next day. You can use a PayPal business debit card to use the money right away! Would be nice if the items had default settings for variations. ATM all variation options have to noted for each sale. Accepting all cc cards, PayPal and Venmo makes every sale a breeze. Card reader works best with tap and Apple/Google pay. Fairly speedy..Version: 7.31.0

No invoicing?So I’m a new Zettle user for a new business i have established. I did a little research first and decided to use Zettle. Everything went smoothly during setup until i discovered there is no way to send someone an invoice. So unless your customer is standing in front of you, there is no way to send a bill or request payment. On the Zettle website it says this is built into the ZettleGo app which does not seem to exist in the US. What happened? This is a necessity for online sales!.Version: 7.28.0

Payment needs to go into your business accountPayment made through the reader needs to go to your business account not the PayPal account, it should at least be an option the transaction is in person the seller can issue a refund. Another improvement I could see is being able to add or change bank information on the app itself, and not having to log in online, and add or change it..Version: 7.17.0

Excellent ServiceWe have been using this App for some time. We are well pleased. Once in a while we experience a little hiccup, but have always been able to resolve it ourselves. Nothing is perfect, but this rates high in our opinion! As far as the cost, we find it in order, and you can’t get something for nothing if it is worth having!.Version: 7.57.1

Tax Rate is a painMy only complaint on this app is that you have to apply the tax rate to each item individually. It’s a step that is a lot to remember while trying to chat with a customer while ringing them, and flatly unnecessary. If I have the tax rate turned on, it should be obvious that each item in a transaction is taxed. If you’re high volume sales, this is a pretty big issue. I hope it will be addressed in an update..Version: 7.14.0

My ZettleSo far I like the machine The app however is sometimes a little glitchy I had to delete and re install three times to get it off the search for item page I haven’t adde any item so there is nothing to search for but it keeps freezing there and won’t let me do a transaction Wow! Headache In that moment of need I plan to review again in the future When I have more experience with this.Version: 7.10.1

Just a few issues1, The card view seems to be sorted randomly. 2, it would be nice to be able to apply sorting and filters on the card view. 3, it would be nice to keep your sorting and filters when leaving the sell tab and returning to it, instead of having them reset each time. 4, it would be nice to see the product image in the cart.Version: 7.46.0
