We have integrated our Paypal business account with Zettle and are preparing to use Zettle card readers at an event next week. We will have several different people working there and I wanted to set them all up with additional user accounts so that they can put the app on their phones and log in without me having to be there all the time to give them the authorisation code. I also heard that having a single account logged in on lots of different devices can lead to Paypal accounts being frozen, so I want to avoid that.
So I set up a new user account, but the user cannot log in to the Zettle app. I was following the instructions here: https://www.paypal.com/uk/cshelp/article/how-do-i-add-staff-to-my-zettle-pos--help664 but they don't quite make sense. For a start, there is nowhere called 'Account & Settings' on myZettle.com. In Settings, there is an option called Staff users, and when you click on that, it says
"Staff Accounts have moved to PayPal in the form of roles
Now you can create roles at PayPal with hand-picked permission collections and assign them to your teammates. Going forward, you’ll add roles there instead of Staff Accounts on Zettle."
There's a button marked "Go to Roles at PayPal".
This takes you to the Paypal Users section, where you can add users and manage their permissions. I added a user, and she chose a password has been verified.
The instructions say "Now set the permissions for the staff user by selecting Use Zettle by PayPal tools." but in the list of permissions, there is nothing called 'Use Zettle by PayPal tools'. I didn't know which permissions to set. I chose

Hello @RadicalNotion,
Thanks for visiting the PayPal Community, and welcome!
I understand you're unable to update your PayPal Zettle staff's permissions to allow them to use Zettle. Based on the information you've provided, it sounds like you've followed all of the steps exactly. There are a few troubleshooting steps in this Help Center article, but I believe reaching out to Customer Support will be your best option. You can contact PayPal's Customer Support by selecting 'Contact' at the bottom of any PayPal webpage. Customer Support is also available on Instagram, Twitter (X), and Facebook.
I hope you can update their permissions soon!

Did you get this working? I have the same issue. We have 3 readers and when need separate logins to work on each and I can't get the "staff" logins to work.

We've had this issue for well over a month. I had to give our users my admin credentials to get this to work. I've been screaming at PayPal for weeks now with no resolution. My rage only continues b/c to allow our users access to process transactions onsite, they have FULL RIGHTS and are acting as an administrator. What's worse is that PayPal customer service has no solution. I've spoken with people on the phone multiple times and tried NUMEROUS of their "suggested solutions" with no success. It's maddening. The only good thing is that our season is halfway over and no one has stolen anything. Is that a silver lining? NO!!! Again, I've chatted, spoken to and written NUMEROUS messages in the Message Center. Nothing.

Hi
I'm having the same infuriating issues and it's now October. Did you find any work-around?
My "paypal roles' all have my own personal name as the 'Seller' And this shows up on customer receipts along with our actual login for PayPal (WHY?!) and is also impossible to distinguish who is who on reports.
Zettle used to have a perfectly usable system but this is madness. I don't think Paypal know how to operate Zettle or integrate it properly.
