I have read that many others have had this same issue.
I have just downloaded the paypal here app. I have the paypal card reader. I have a business account. I have been approved.
I have connected the reader and the phone via bluetooth.
When i open the app it says 'Apply for PayPal Here' - Apply Now - button
When i click the button i am taken to paypal where i can log in to my business account, which i do.
