PayPal Zettle Advantages
Comments: As I’m an admin, I’m very stressed in managing many stuff such like meetings, organizing tournaments, visas issuing, reports, staff follow-up and so on, and this app made things easier to me at the time I was checking and reviewing the lot of bills, payments and receipts, which reduced stress on me and saved my time.
Pros:
It’s easy, simple, quick to pay and receive.
Cons:
There is no obstacles or difficulties I found during using it.

Not recommended
Comments: Terrible. They PayPal account limitation is ridiculous and their app is terrible. A customer database was only recently added and it is very simple without good reports, and without the ability to upload existing customer information.
Pros:
The card reader is inexpensive compared to others. The processing fees aren't bad.
Cons:
They are being unreasonable about putting a hold or what they call "Limit" on my PayPal account. They keep asking for information, I provide it and they take days to review it and then ask for more. It has been way too long that my legitimate business has not been able to withdraw MY money, or process credit card payments from my customers.
Perfect for non tipping businesses
Comments: It was okay. Had a little issue purchasing at discount for the first device but eventually resolved.
Pros:
Simple design. Long lasting battery. Quick set up.
Cons:
Tipping flow… it asks people to tip before tapping the card. Is contrary to the norm and does not promote tipping.
Alternatives Considered:
PayPal Zettle is great for on the go
Comments: I was worried at first when PayPal transitioned to Zettle but the process has been smooth overall. It works great and I love the customization. Haven't had a problem with it yet.
Pros:
I love the reader and all the simple reports it entails. It's perfect for on the go sales. It's super small and easy to use.
Cons:
Biggest con is that it has to be charged. The older readers did not so this takes some getting used to.
Easier payments for all
Comments: I plan to keep using it for my sales and will recommend it to others who are doing similar sales
Pros:
Capability to print receipts. Most do not care for receipts anymore but there are handful who do (older generation). Minimal processing fee
Cons:
No concerns with use, my personal sales have started to increase so decided to give this a try and so far working well.
My review on PayPal Zettle @surajsingh
Comments: It think as far an I know subsequent to utilizing this application for over 5 months, there is no issues with the installments through my versatile which is the fundamental component it doesn't put me down. I haven't explored this application much yet with my own utilization and experience, I can express that in the terms of installment there's no issue. About different highlights, I simply happened to use payment processing and inventory management,, which are likewise agreeable as I would prefer.
Pros:
As I expressed above in the item appraising, the most preferred highlights for me is payment processing and inventory management. It's not difficult to set up and utilize, the security capability is great and it's basically impossible that one can hack or break my data which is likewise a protected component to have and confided in highlights. On the off chance that my side business is running any business, I do every one of the exchanges from it and the admittance to deals reports and examination to acquire bits of knowledge for my business execution is smooth.
Cons:
The most un-thing about this application is, it messes up some time which is somewhat irritating and the client is support is delayed to reaction and the timing for them to answer to my interests is generally sluggish which postponed my goal term. Other than that, it's a decent application to have in your sleeves.

Don't Settle, Get PayPal Zettle!
Comments: Overall, PayPal Zettle has improved our payment processing and we highly recommend it to other small businesses who are looking for a POS solution.
Pros:
Zettle is a replacement and an improvement to the old PayPal Here. Zettle allows me to accept more types of payments, has same day availability of funds in our business PayPal account and has been a game changer for my business, especially processing payments at pop-up markets.In addition to the many payments accepted (Visa, MC, AMEX, Discover, ApplePay, GooglePay, VenMo, etc), Zettle makes accounting simple by automatically creating daily sales reports of each employee and providing the ability to keep track of inventory. Paypal has done a great job creating Zettle POS and app.
Cons:
There's not much to dislike about Zettle, but I will say, our biggest challenge was getting acclimated to a new system after using PayPal Here for years. That said, the learning curve was not that difficult.
Alternatives Considered:
Ditching PayPal
Comments: I enjoyed the low cost processing fees but PayPal Zettle lacks in so many ways and is limited in features.
Pros:
Zettle by itself would be an excellent concept but I absolutely loathe having to deal with PayPal. I have a list of complaints as long as my leg with PayPal !
Cons:
The card processor and terminal tends to be very seedy and has technical issues more often than not. PayPal is very frowned upon these days and my customers do NOT like using it !
Did not Enjoy
Pros:
I did not use Zettle long enough to find a pro because it was difficult to transition from Paypal Business to Zettle.
Cons:
I had the older Paypal Business and that was discontinued and replaced with Zettle. It was not simple to migrate over and I left to accept payments another way.
Zettle is ok but not for PayPal working capital!
Comments: The zettle POS is ok. The first one stopped working after a week so I had to wait for a replacement. As far as PayPal goes, the credit card processing and deposits are quick and easy and you have a lot of options. However, overall, I have to give them a zero because of the bait and switch.
Pros:
Ease of use and deposit speed. The handheld payment terminal connects to my phone via Bluetooth. I just opene the zettle app on my phone, put in the items or charges and the customer uses a small keypad to pay using tap or chip (it doesn't have a magstrip reader tho).
Cons:
We do not like the fact that we feel like it was a bait and switch when it comes to the PayPal-iZettle and PayPal's working capital loans. As told to, we used the platform over one year and met the income amount by almost double but could not get the working capital loan. For two years now PayPal has been giving a run-around about this issue saying PayPal doesn't recognize the zettle pos sales as a sale it can deduct payment from but they are working hard to have a fix very soon. As of today, after many calls, the still have not fixed the issue so I feel I was lured in by promise of a working capital loan if I met certain requirements, then I did everything right and boom, bait and switch, no loan for zettle users.
Paypal zettle review

Pros:
Great experience, I love the item and the little gadget. It is not difficult to utilize and permits me to deal with my installments effectively and actually.

that installments got through the PayPal Here framework are at first frozen for 48 hours, creating setbacks for getting to reserves

What I least like about Pay Pal Zettle is the lack of inventory control and integration.

Cons:
Nothing I like everything I never had any issues
Used to be great
Cons:
Unfortunately they changed ownership over lockdown and we found the new system to be really terrible. It used to be great but unfortunately the table management was ruined and became unusable for restaurants.
Not a good platform for health care providers
Comments: Terrrible. Do it their way or get lost. If you use Health Savings Account Cards as part of your practice, then this is NOT the company for you. They lock down my account every few weeks. I am a licensed primary care physician in the State of Oregon. They lock down my account regularly due to the clinic accepting Health Savings Account Cards (as do all doctors) which usually only have magnetic strips, not chips. Zettle readers are unable to process magnetic strips and can only ready chips. Magnetic strips require manual entry into Zettle. This locks down our account as Paypal assumes fraud. No matter how many times I call, send them copies of my medical and DEA license, and explain that I am a doctor and this is part of my practice - they continue every few weeks to lock up my money and threaten to further impede my business unless I clear up this presumed "fraudulent" activity. Their workaround is that I should log into Paypal manually every time a patient uses an HSA account and enter it into their online site. Since we use Zettle for inventory management including the inventory of controlled substances like testosterone pellets and RX injectables which is required by the DEA, that would NEVER work. Secondly, it is extra work for my front desk staff that is already hard-pressed to keep up with their workload and has people waiting to check in and out of the clinic. If you are in health care - stay away. This is NOT the company for you
Pros:
I can't say that I really liked anything about Paypal. It is a pretty standard POS system but with the inability to track customers.
Cons:
No ability to scan HSA cards which locks down your account for presumed "fraudulent" activity as these must be entered manually into Zettle especially if you are using Zettle to manage inventory. Their solution is to enter them into the Paypal screen online manually. This is rather hard when we use Zettle to manage inventory and track P&L on products. My staff is hard-pressed at the front desk to keep up as is and logging into their site every time we need to use an HSA is ludicrous and will completely ruin our inventory and P&L data. It happens every few weeks and then they ask you to "prove" your legitimacy as a business all over again. The fact that you sent them your DEA and medical license 30 days ago is seemingly lost on their staff. You are a pariah! They don't look at the notes and just cut you off all over again. Stay away from this company!!Also, no ability to tie sales to patients which is frustrating.
Easier way to keep your money safe
Comments: When making international transactions or payments, it was quite easy and felt safe. My money is well protected.
Pros:
It is very convenient with making international transactions.
Cons:
The currency value sometimes makes the money difference higher, making it more expensive than using local money apps.
Zettle for payments
Pros:
I appreciate the fact that Zettle is now automatically implemented in most banking apps, so sending and receiving money is really easy.
Cons:
The only thing I would suggest is for Zelle to be compatible with more banking apps. I know it's compatible with most of the big ones, but there are still a few out there that aren't using Zelle.
PayPal review
Pros:
I like most how I can manage inventory account and payment
Cons:
What I dislike sometimes is the lack of customer service on the app
Best spent money for paypal transactions
Pros:
That anyone can swipe a card even without a paypal and pay you on top of all the other features like inventory management its quite easy to use.
Cons:
Prob the start fee of 2.75 % per transaction but otherwise its good if you sell alot it lowers as well
Great POS Software
Comments: Absolutely great for the price. It makes processing payments easy.
Pros:
It is super easy to set up. You can take it anywhere with you.
Cons:
I wish there was a way to integrate this on my e-com site.
Useful for customers, longwinded to set up
Comments: The transaction fee is quite high, even for payments within the same country. The setup takes a while and can stop you from accessing your money for a few days / weeks. Once set up though and with the transaction fee in mind, customers do appreciate the option to pay by paypal
Pros:
Our customers appreciated being able to pay by card via a well-known and trusted platform
Cons:
Our funds were initially on hold for a few weeks before we were able to access them. Something to do with the onboarding process needs to be sped up or made more transparent
Best payment way
Comments: It so comfortable way and trusted one
Pros:
It is the best payment digital process and fast in delivering and transfer.
Cons:
I think will improve and it easy to deals with all product.
