Businesses have been at a disadvantage as the costs of traditional POS hardware, software licenses, long-term contracts and card payment processing fees make it difficult to adopt contactless payment solutions.
Paired with Bouncepad’s enclosure and custom card reader cradle, the PayPal Here app and card reader gives businesses a simple and affordable option that blends into any service environment.
Accepting contactless payments makes it more convenient for customers to make purchases and enables frontline employees to provide more personal, face-to-face service where they are in-store.
Businesses interested in the new PayPal Here card reader are able to place an order today.
