Zettle
Point-of-sale products designed to simplify the workday
Zettle by PayPal, now becoming PayPal Point of Sale, is a point-of-sale system that helps businesses accept card, contactless, and mobile payments while managing sales and inventory in one place. It solves the problem of needing separate payment processing and business management tools by combining them into a single platform.
The system includes a POS software app with features for managing products and inventory, creating and redeeming gift cards, viewing real-time sales reports, and tracking staff performance. It offers hardware options including a portable card reader that connects via Bluetooth, an all-in-one terminal with built-in POS software and 4G connectivity, and customisable store kits. The software integrates with e-commerce and accounting tools to streamline daily operations. Payments are accepted through major cards, mobile wallets, and PayPal QR codes.
Zettle is designed for small to medium-sized retail and service businesses. There is no monthly software fee; instead, users pay per transaction with rates varying by payment type. Hardware is purchased outright with no long-term contracts or rentals. A free app is available for iOS and Android, and businesses can start accepting contactless payments immediately using Tap to Pay on a compatible device without additional hardware.
