My wife’s working part time in a shop, run by a lady with little in the way of clue. They have no ability to take payments by card, and not even an electronic till. They have no IT whatsoever, so the plan is to buy a laptop or similar for the shop, but also something portable enough to take to shows at weekends.
Now – the Paypal reader looks good, but it only seems to work on Android or iOS. This would work well if they had a tablet for the weekend shows, but in the shop I think it would be a pain in the bum because they will need to use spreadsheets for staff rosters, inventory, emails, updating the website, handling pictures and whatnot.
So what they would really want is something just like the Paypal one that works with Windows. Anyone have experience of this?
