Late to the card reader game, PayPal will soon offer a PayPal Here card reader which-judging by its positioning in the supplied materials-connects to the Surface Pro 3 headphone jack, as does the Square reader.
What's new here is mostly on the PayPal side. It's also worth noting that the Surface Pro 3's Pen provides a more natural customer signature pen than the usual system of drawing a doodle with your finger on an iPad screen like a two-year-old. Here, we can see where Microsoft's tagline for the Surface Pro 3-"the tablet that can replace your laptop"-comes to life, because this solution lets small businesses complete both jobs with a single device. The value proposition here, according to Microsoft, is that many small business retailers today have to maintain two devices: A tablet that is used with a (Square) card reader for transacting cash register-style business with customers and a laptop or other PC for inventory, supply, customer relationship information and accounting. "Small businesses that use the PayPal Here reader, Windows 8.1 app, and SDK on these devices will benefit from the same world-class product features and customer support enjoyed by existing PayPal Here users." "The new PayPal Here reader will include payment support for Microsoft Surface and other Windows devices through our efforts with Microsoft," PayPal vice president Brad Brodigan says. Aimed at small businesses, this solution will work like the suddenly ubiquitous Square readers that are usually paired with a smart phone or tablet. Microsoft and PayPal announced this week that they are partnering to provide retailers with an all-in-one point of sale (POS) solution that includes a Surface Pro 3 tablet and a PayPal Here card reader.
