I do like this app but... I first downloaded it on a Motorola phone, and it won't do tap to pay or barcodes. No icons I find this odd because I had to unexpectedly download it to my ancient Samsung A50 and Tap-to-pay is there. It also works on my newer personal phone, another Samsung. I also don't like how long the pos device takes to boot up.

Works well. As does use the phone to take contactless payments. App is attractive. And the reader solid. However. Big minus for me is that the SEARCH function is completely useless and broken in the app. Whatever you search for says 'no results'. Ridiculous especially when you search for a transaction that is top of the list, using every possible descriptor: 'no results'. Also just spins on opening. Even if I open successfully Sumup I go back to Zettle, and it's still spinning...

Horrible, these guys are thieves. I keep going through PayPal but I'm done. They hold your money for almost a year after you hit 2k Even though your business is big as theirs but with more physical locations. They want to know your address to your stores like they're going to rob you. The thing is if I ever catch one of these guys at my address with my no trespassing sign up with the state law I'm allowed to do what I got to do. We have stand your ground PayPal.

I am not able to log in to the app. I am stuck on the "Log in with PayPal to continue to Zettle" screen. I called PayPal support, they are unable to help.

Don't use this service, We have a brick and mortar. PayPal shut down my POS System during business hours to verify account. PayPal should have emailed verify the information they require ahead of time if it takes 3 days to complete. Not shut down my business for 3 days to do so. How would PayPal like to be shut down for 3 days, how much money would they lose. NOT HAPPY WITH PAYPAL
