Hello, I am opening a business next month. I'm starting small & asking customers to pay in cash only. I'd like to setup a Paypal pay option if that is possible & easy to do. I know how to have someone pay me at paypal.me\username but I'm thinking there is a more businesslike way than that to do it. Can the community recommend whats worked for you? I haven't used Paypal at any big box stores yet so I'm wondering if its even worth it to try...

Get a PayPal Here account and purchase a bluetooth reader.
Best to use on a tablet.
Then purchase a Woosom bluetooth receipt printer.
You can then use PayPal to prepare a cash regester style receipt for cash or credit purchase. Simply print the receipt.
Cash sales are listed in your PayPal activity but have no impact on PayPal balances and reports.
The bluetooth reader can be used for touchless systems/cards also.
You cannot accept payments from someone's PayPal acocunt--just credit and debit cards.
It's a great system for a small business. I've been working that way for a few years now with itinerant outdoor event sales. Buyers really like to get a printed receipt on the spot.
Inventory systems can be set up with your own barcodes.

You can't accept cash to be put into your PayPal account.
PayPal is for processing online and credit card payments; PayPal does not process cash payments.
Will be you doing online or inperson retail sales?

PLEASE!!!! RUN LIKE THE WIND! PayPal hurts small business by placing holds on everything and taking 5 days for bank transfers especially for new small businesses. I hope you REALLY read this because I'm not just a distgruntled customer, I'm a small business owner who trusted the name PAYPAL and they are actually hurting my business by refusing to release my payments after I completed all of their verification steps. PLEASE DON'T USE THEM FOR CC processing. They have no idea about how small businesses stay afloat and they don't care!!!!!!
