Frequently Asked Questions
Is Zettle the same as PayPal Here?
PayPal acquired Zettle (formerly iZettle) and transitioned PayPal Here users to Zettle. Zettle is now PayPal's in-person payment solution in the US.
Can customers pay with PayPal or Venmo?
Yes! Customers can scan a QR code to pay with their PayPal or Venmo app. This is a unique advantage over competitors like Square.
How does Zettle compare to Square?
Square has more features and integrations. Zettle is simpler with slightly lower in-person rates (2.29% vs 2.6%). Choose Zettle if simplicity and PayPal/Venmo matter; Square for more robust POS features.
What hardware does Zettle offer?
Zettle offers a card reader ($29 with rebate offer) and the Zettle Terminal ($199) standalone device. Both support chip, tap, and mobile wallet payments.
