HOW TO GET CARD READER TO WORK ON COMPUTER INSTEAD OF PHONE/TABLET

Hi

 

Does anyone know if/ how I can get my card reader to work using my laptop instead of my tablet? My charger broke on my tablet and had to wait for a replacement but was unable to use the card reader on my phone as it would not connect (very frustrating!)

 

Thanks in advance

Hi shabbyness,

 

Welcome to our Community Smiley Happy

 

I notice you're yet to receive a response to this post from one of our other members.

 

I hate to be the bearer of this bad news but I'm afraid the PayPal Here Card Reader will not work with a PC or laptop 😞

 

This device needs a bluetooth connection, you see.

 

Do you think you might be able to borrow a phone from a friend while your tablet is being fixed?

 

You could also try giving the PayPal Here Team a quick ring so they can troubleshoot that issue you were having with your phone? They can be reached on <removed> and I'm sure they'll be happy to help!

 

Why don't you give one of these options a go shabbyness?
