How to set up the PayPal Point of Sale app
If you have not been provided with a PayPal Point of Sale terminal, then you can still take contactless card and cash payments via the PayPal Point of Sale app.
Getting started
- Ensure your phone is connected to the internet. Please be aware that many school WiFi systems may restrict access to the PayPal Point of Sale app, so this may use up your mobile data.
- Download the PayPal Point of Sale Go app for free on the App Store or Google Play Store
- Log in to the app using your email address and password. You should have received an invitation to activate your account. If you have not received the information or are unsure of your details, please contact us on info@scholastic.co.uk. Once you have received the invitation, you will be asked to set up a password. Please do not set up an account.
Completing the sale
- Enter the price of the book on the PayPal Point of Sale app and add to shopping basket.
- Once you are ready to complete the sale, click the shopping basket icon in the top right hand corner. You will then be shown a summary of the purchase.
- Click the Charge button at the bottom of the page.
- Select card or cash payment.
- If you are processing a card payment, please select Tap to Pay and do not select Pay by card, as this option requires a terminal.
Once your Book Fair has finished, please delete the PayPal Point of Sale app from your device.
