TechCrunch notes that the app marks yet another milestone in the expansion of the company's PayPal Here service, which debuted in the UK just two weeks ago and is now available in five countries. PayPal took to its blog to detail the new app:
In listening to our customers we learned that while all love the convenience, security and functionality of PayPal Here, some prefer the larger screen of the iPad.
So with that in mind we went about designing a new version of the PayPal Here app that would work seamlessly and beautifully with the iPad. Some of the new features include:
- App designed specifically for the iPad
- Ability to scan an item's barcode for faster checkout
- Wirelessly connect to a cash drawer and printer
- Track sales activity in "Daily Summary" reporting
PayPal also points out that the app is designed for small businesses that want an easily scalable mobile payment solution. Users can also get a free card reader that pairs with the app and iPad so that it can read credit cards.
PayPal Here for iPad is a free app available in the App Store. [Direct Link]
