iZettle Card Reader 2

Product Information

It is ok to pair your Reader 2 with more than one device but you cannot use them at the same time. Attempting to use several devices along with your Zettle app at the same time may cause them to malfunction. You can use Zettle as a basic invoicing system. Simply switch on the Invoices option from the Settings menu: There are no monthly contracts for its paid products. Instead, the only thing Zettle charges for is card processing fees, which is a positive for many people.

Therefore, if you’re processing large volumes of debit card transactions, you could end up paying more than you would with a merchant account.

Zettle App Pricing is one of the most important considerations for SMEs. However, cheaper does not always mean more cost-efficient. We looked at cost, but also the hidden fees, number of available integrations, and the number of channels you can sell through using Zettle.
