My money is on the answer "NO". But I need to ask anyway to get a final answer. Thanks in advance.
Like so many of us I'm sure, we went with PayPal Here as a solution to accepting credit cards. Personally, my home business has accepted credit cards since the early 90's, but costs, fees, and other factors drove me away from the old way with a printing terminal, etc. I already had a PayPal account and the little triangular card swipe reader, so I decided to go "all-in" with PayPal as my only credit card payment method. I purchased the Chip/Card reader and a dedicated tablet. Also a printer.
Personally, I've been pretty happpy with it. The chip/card reader works like a charm (after the rebate, it was almost free). The Star printer works like a charm. They work well whether I'm connected through the tablet or smartphone. But I'm not a total fan of the tablet/smartphone approach. What I'd really like is a PC app for use around the studio and a laptop out of the studio. You know, with a real keyboard and mouse...no thumbs. It would just be more efficient. And frankly, look more professional. (Like magnetic signs on a car, which just scream, "I'm in business....Kinda!" I think using a smartphone credit card payment system looks amateur.)
So my question---Has anybody successfully implemented the PayPal mobile system on a PC? Can it be done? Am I missing something?
