PayPal Launches All-in-one POS Solution, Zettle Terminal

Fazzaco learned that PayPal, the US payments giant, has launched Zettle Terminal, a new all-in-one point of sale solution, in the UK. The solution is expected to expand across additional markets in Europe in 2021 and into 2022, and in the US next year.

According to the official press release, the Zettle Terminal is ready to go right out of the box, no need for a second device to pair it with. Featuring a touchscreen, this digital in-store solution is easy to setup and use, offering small businesses simplicity and speed. Coming in 2022, the Zettle Terminal will also feature an integrated barcode scanner. 

The Zettle Terminal comes with a pre-loaded SIM card1, and its combined WiFi and cellular connectivity means that small businesses are no longer dependent on fixed check-out points. The Zettle Terminal makes the checkout completely mobile; the seller is free to complete the entire checkout process, from start to finish, where the customer is – on the shop floor, by the table, on the terrace, at the point of delivery or anywhere where there’s mobile coverage. 

Enabling small businesses to seamlessly sell across in-person and online channels, the Zettle Terminal also offers interoperability through PayPal’s vast partner network, so businesses can easily link their accounts with their preferred ecommerce, accounting and banking partners including, Starling Bank, Intuit QuickBooks and WooCommerce.

In the UK, the Zettle Terminal comes with a pre-loaded SIM card and the Zettle point-of-sale app pre-installed, which is free to use. The device retails at £149, and the printer and dock at £89. Small businesses can buy the Zettle Terminal with a printer and dock as a bundle at £199.

In August this year, PayPal has rolled out crypto service in the UK​​. Users in the country can now buy, sell and hold Bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), litecoin (LTC), and bitcoin cash (BCH) through their PayPal wallets online or on the mobile app. The newly launched service marks the first international expansion of PayPal's crypto services outside of the United States.
