Hey, thank you for taking the time to read this and maybe help out
I'm the unofficial IT guy where I work(seasonal fireworks retail), and I'm trying to help them setup the "paypal mobil card readers" for use by contractors. Each contractor has their own "User Account" with which they can 'take payments.' After experementing any further permissions allow these contractors to at least view all the transactions and sales. We find this to be undesirable.
At this point, the only method by which anyone can asertain the sales of a user is to manually download the .csv file, open it in a spreadsheet program AND THEN sort by the seller id AND THEN use a function to sum up the daily totals.
I am currently working on relearning sql so I can create a script to quickly give me the daily totals for each user. Can I point out how utterly absurd it is that I have to code to get basic functionality we previously found in payfox?
How hard can it be to give sales information Per user, TO that user in the Paypal Here app? Is there some hidden method of doing this which I havn't found?

I've been searching for the same functionality - I am onthe Board for a non-profit, and we are hosting our annual fund raiser this weekend. I'm getting the volunteer staff set up with PayPal Here swipers, and accounts so we can have people in various locations selling tickets, taking donations, paying for auction wins, etc.
We are using both Square readers and PayPal Here - with Square I can see exactly which "device" (given a nickname so I know who it belongs to) processed which transaction, based on their unique login, that only allows them to process payments and issue refunds (if they mess up).
I've set up PayPal here but cannot find a way to see which user/login processed the transactions (we've been experimenting this week by purchasing our own tickets to the event logged in various ways). Why have different logins if there's not a way to track them??
Is the downloadable csv file the only way to see each individual's activity?
