Likelihood to Recommend Siriusware seems best suited for organizations that are working with many programs and events that are running at different times. You are able to easily check registration for different events at the same time which is very helpful. If you have staff that are focusing just on data analysis and reporting then Siriusware would be very useful for them. On the flip side if you need to train seasonal staff on the point of sale and process multiple sales in a quick amount of time then this is not the best fit. The interface can be clunky and slow especially when you have internet problems.
Read full review 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.
Read full review Pros Some support agents are helpful Basic front end is good Up-time is good Read full review 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. Read full review Cons The integration with our CRM (Raiser's Edge) leaves much to be desired. It is kind of a mess. There are a lot of moving pieces and if something gets inadvertently skipped during the backend set-up of forms, it can create real headaches. It is not especially intuitive to use, in my opinion. Read full review 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. Read full review Likelihood to Renew There are no monthly costs, the only expense is the card processing fee which is lower than nearly everyone else out there.
Read full review Usability I absolutely LOVE this system. It is very fast and easy to use, and integrates with my eCommerce platform perfectly. The card processing fees are really low and the money is in my account quickly, even on weekends! I can either keep the funds in my PayPal account and access them with my PayPal business debit, or I can transfer them to my back (or a combination of these). The funds are always in my bank next business day. Also, it was one of the least expensive solutions out there as far as the hardware goes.

Read full review Performance Everything is very fast. Adding products, selling products, processing cards, and receiving funds.
Read full review Support Rating 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.
Read full review Implementation Rating It went very smoothly.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Any POS implementation is a lot of work, and a lot of learning for Admin, IT, management, end users, etc. This was selected by a consultant we hired. We have many regrets regarding the process, but are now kind of stuck and it is basically getting the job done. It is not ideal, but the people who chose this have learned a lot in the process.
Read full review 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.

Read full review Return on Investment It has allowed us to look at our total revenue more easily and figure out where we are falling short. We do face more issues from the customer having difficulty registering for programs because of some of the limitations when being used as a online ticket point of sale. It has allowed us to process refunds ourselves, which we were not able to do, which has allowed for better customer interaction. Read full review 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. Read full review ScreenShots
