    I recommend PayPal Zettle quite a bit, actually. Its flexibility is easy enough to use for people who are not used to technology. Square has good traits, too, but since so many people already have PayPal accounts, it makes it much easier to use. It is perfect for everyday use of bot large and small transactions.

    Pros
    Aptos

    PayPal
    • The PayPal Here hardware connection is very effective, my mobile device recognizes it immediately and the PayPal Here application to receive payments also recognizes it immediately. I don't have to wait a long time like some other POS.
    • Transactions are made instantly, you just have to pass the NFC chip inside the PayPal Here system, and in a second the transaction will be carried out and it will be shown in the history of the PayPal account registered in the POS.
    • It is very easy to provide a receipt to the customer when they use their card within our PayPal Here POS system, as it allows us to digitally send a ticket to the customer and also allows us to send the invoice by email.

    Cons
    Aptos
    No answers on this topic
    PayPal
    • While swiped payments are easy, manual entry of payment information often fails. This is a major roadblock when you are in the service industry because not everyone who is making payment is on site.
    • In almost every instance of accepting a payment, we have to call in and reverify every piece of information about our business before we are successful.
    • Whatever system they use to determine how high risk your business is can limit your usage if they get it wrong.
    • Customer service is inconsistent at best. Sometimes issues are handled quickly and easily, other time you have to jump through hoops.

    There are no monthly costs, the only expense is the card processing fee which is lower than nearly everyone else out there.

    Very easy to use for both the business owner and the customer. We feel confident using it because we know that our customers information and payments are protected. And our customers know that if anything happens with their orders or they need protection for their purchases it is going to be there with PayPal Zettle. We tried several less remembered names, and it just didn't garner orders like when we switched to PayPal Zettle.

    Support hasn't been needed in the 2 years of using PayPal but I have received calls from the company in the past asking about my experience with the device that was sent to me and they were pretty helpful with advice. Support is all over the internet if needed but for emergencies, so it is best to contact them during business hours.

    The main selection criteria were ease of use and the presence of a plugin for WooCommerce. However, in practice it turned out that an important factor is also the availability of the product for purchase in a small batch and at an affordable price. I chose PayPal Zettle because I was able to easily and simply purchase it in my country.

    There is no contract, there is no monthly cost. The only cost is the upfront purchase of the equipment and the swipe fees, which are quite low.

    Everything about this solution is great, I really can't think of a single complaint. There is even a Phone App so you can check in on your sales remotely.

    PayPal
    • PayPal Here has allowed us to have a retail presence when we are away from our home location.
    • We have sold literally millions of dollars in merchandise at events over the last several years that we otherwise would not have been able to.
    • The only negative about PayPal Here is that we did not implement it sooner.
