As of this season we can now receive credit card payments with a PayPal Here swipe device. This new shop feature is quite popular with patrons, and now represents a significant percentage of our funding from sales of recycled bicycles. However, we currently do not have a dedicated iPad, iPhone or Android device for our volunteer sales people, and while several have their own phones, many do not have the correct device.
Below are the requirements for a used iPad, iPhone or Android. It is Earth Day month and it is time to recycle your old electronics to a good cause, Positive Spin! If you can donate one of these devices to the Spin, you will be forever appreciated by our organization. Please contact me if you think you have the right device or are unsure. Thank-you!!
PayPal Here is currently available for iOS (iPhone 3GS and later) and optimized for iPad devices running iOS version 5.0 and later. It is also available for Android smartphone platforms.
In order to run PayPal Here, an Android device must include the following specifications:
* Android version 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) or later * 3.5 mm headset jack with microphone * Support for Location Services * Internet access (via WiFi or cellular data network)
At this time, PayPal Here is not supported on Android tablets.
