PayPal Here - Point of Sale App Reviews

Frankly Im tired of waiting for this app so Im seeking to give my business to another company. PayPal, shame on you.

Cant use the app. Just a landing page....taking forever for a company worth billions.

Got the email saying the wait is over. That PayPal here is here. Then login to the app and tells me that PayPal here is only available to select merchants!! What the...?!! I just wish Square was available in Canada. Now that seems like a nicely setup solution!

I am waiting for the time that I can use it

Square is here!! I got it! Go get your square card reader and set up in a few seconds!

Just learned that Square is now available in Canada for iPad. Just submitted my application and am looking forward to getting started! PayPal Here is just taking waaaay too long with no updated on timelines for Canadian availability.

I use the app because I have a US account. The first day used it about 1/2 the perches said they went through, had the customer sign for it, then I sent a receipt- but the money never showed up in my account. So I raised hell. Of course. I had lost almost $1,000 worth of sales. At first some one at pay pal tried to tell me it was a user error! But eventually I got them to do the rite thing and refund my lost sales. So Pay Pal Here totally messed up but as least they payed up! Thats the benefit of going with a trusted name brand. They have a reputation to uphold.

I have been waiting for MONTHS for this app to finally be available to me in my region. STILL no launch available to me. Ready to scrap the app since PayPal clearly jumped the gun in launching it to the masses even though they dont have it available to everyone yet. Shame on you, Paypal, and shame on iTunes for letting them launch it anyway. Updated November 1, 2012: today I deleted this app. Good riddance. Squareup is available in Canada now. Its ridiculously easy to set up and you can start using it almost instantly. They will also let you gift up to five readers for $1 each in top of the free reader they will send you. Dont let the door hit you on the way out, PayPal Here. Maybe it should be renamed to PayPal Where?

For more than one year I keep gettin the almost here message... What a disappointment... With squareup available in Canada and stripe coming in Im glad someone is finally challenging paypals dominance of Canadian online payments!

Not sure what else I need to add beyond the title of the review, but I suppose I can add some more. I have both a square reader and the paypal reader. (unlike many reviewers, i did get my here reader) Except: the square reader works (most of the time) the here reader rarely works. The vaunted "scan an image of the card" rarely works. (maybe one in 10 times? ) (and that presumes you can get the app to acknowledge the boundaries of the card (you put the credit card down on a surface, hold your iphone/ipad with the camera pointing at the card: then you have to line up the edges of the card with some targets, and the app is supposed to recognize the edge of the card and scan the card numbers and expiry date. Hardly EVER works, even on a brand new card (without the paint rubbed off) But really, my biggest frustration is the crappy app. I have an iPad and an iPhone: Squares app works universally, and works WELL on the iPad... the paypal app is iPhone only, and looks like crap when scaled up into the ipad screen.

If its a wait list dont release it or this is fake app? Im afraid cauz I already enter my acc and password.

I think they should rename it to PayPal There. Cause it aint available HERE in Canada.

Why is this in the Canadian App Store if it cannot be used in Canada? Dont waste your time with this app.

It doesnt seem to be available here, or very limited so almost useless. Deleting the app, using Square Register instead.

The Payfirma mobile payment app is waaaay better than this. The swiper is not great either. From a cost standpoint, its very expensive if youre in Canada and since Paypal is a third party processor, you are beholden to them to get access to your funds.

Hello I tried. 6 difference company there for I had to purchase 6 difference card reader but I end up getting charged almost %4 with hidden fee and minimum charges $40 from payfirma and paypal , go payment etc, I compared all of them with PayCanada mobile apps price! They are cheaper and I got free trial from them if I dont like it no cancellation fee. Which is good for small biz owners Good job paycanada , try them

Cause it definitely aint HERE! PayPal... Get it together! Merchants who are ready to pay your ridiculous sales percentages have been waiting to use this app for over a year! Ive been a registered "wait-er" for that long! Gonna try PayCanada or Square Register instead.

PayPal sent me a swiper and welcome kit about six months ago. I finally had an opportunity to use it last week for an important day for my business and after swiping a customers card and having them sign for it, it kept telling me payment not processed. Turns out PayPal Here isnt here in Canada yet. WHY DID YOU SEND ME A SWIPER THEN??

Been using it for offsite events for over a year. Works great.

Its not available in canada! Why put it on the app store
