Is there a credit card payment solution like square for windows?

[Steve Adams]

Is there a card payment solution like square for windows devices? Against my better judgement I am going to go with a 950xl if there is the ability to take credit card payements.

I'm aware that paypal here have an app however I've not used it:

www.microsoft.com/en-US/store/apps/PayPal-Here/9NBLGGGZLLK6

PayPal Here is now available for Windows Phone 8.1 | Windows Central

No. I mean to take payments with peoples credit cards, not give my money away. I guess not then.

Please look at PayPal Here again. It is designed specifically to do what you've asked to do.

I am sorry, but that is NOT what I am looking for. I am not using a website to sell. its a point of sale system. All I see with paypal is taking payment via websites.

It's exactly what you asked for, a way to swipe a card using your phone to get paid by customers... And at the links provided.




It does work on W10M...





What, specifically, is the objection?

 

[Steve Adams]

Ok, The link was broken for me, and I went into paypal looking for what was being talked about and only found the payments via website. OK. Now, the 1,000,000 dollar question. to buy the xperia z5 dual, or the 950xl. hmmmmmm

Thanks for digging that out!

Whichever way you go, PayPal Here is probably your most complete solution.

Requirements:

• iOS 7 and higher (iPhone 3GS or later and any iPad on 7 and up)
• Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) or higher, phone and tablet
• Windows desktop devices (tablets, netbooks, laptops) on 8.1 and higher
• Windows Mobile devices on 8.1 or higher
• 3.5mm headphone jack
• Location services enabled
• Internet data connection

You could implement this across your device portfolio.

As an added bonus, if you make a new PayPal Business class account, you get the PayPal Here Mobile Card Reader (iOS/Android/WP) for free (saving you $14.99).

From reading the site, it also looks like that offer will hold if you upgrade a Personal/Premier account to Business.

I am going with the 950 xl as it has better dual sim support. thanks guys!

Well, upon review, there is a double edged sword, 1. its not working with windows phones, and 2 its not working in Canada on anything. Oh well, z5 Dual with camera attachment it is.

Yes, it is working with windows phone, provided you get the Swipe reader ($14.99) NOT the chip/NFC reader ($149.99).

 

[Steve Adams]

moot point, it does not service Canada....

 

[Krystianpants]

Paypal Virtual Terminal is in Canada and can use the card reader.

I'd still go with the Z5 as it's a safer bet if you require to make any changes to your payment system.

 

[Steve Adams]

Unless it has setup since last night, it does NOT work in Canada. I contacted paypal yesterday regarding using it. They said the app is available in Canada, but card payments DO NOT work. Straight from paypal yesterday. I want to run the 950xl, but these things like this have me buying the z5. 2 to be exact, compact for my wife and z5 dual for me.
