I am very challenged in this technology world ! I am alone in the shop with a Zettle (with printer dock!). I am afraid I may have lost a $7,000 sale yesterday because I fumbled around this Zettle so long. The customer walked out the door very disgruntled without the sale.😢Now I know how to do this Zettle thanks to you!
What a great review, very in-depth, and not overdoing the unboxing 👍

Can it network across locations? And does it have a manager oversight function where an Operations manager see logon/logoff times, and sales and inventory numbers across several locations? Great info btw👍

Can I take payments over the phone? Or send a lino to clients for payment? Or is this card only?
@BoffixAccountancy
Жыл бұрын
You can take virtual payments through Paypal only with Zettle, we would recommend using the Square terminal in this case as it has a built-in virtual payment feature.
How does the sim card mobile data work? Does paypal have an agreement with a certain carrier to include mobile data where paypal pays the bill in exchange for assumed sales and, of course, income from fees?
@BoffixAccountancy

We would believe that is the case but you would have to contact Zettle/PayPal themselves to confirm.
Is mobile data included in the cost or would this be charged on top of the percentage? We often have outdoor stalls where there is no WiFi connection

Morning, I would suggest contacting Zettle and asking them here: www.zettle.com/gb/help/contact
Now if only they could make the whole platform compatible with cheaper mobile printers and scanners. There is only one available Bluetooth printer that's compatible and it's over $250 and is never restocked on the zettle website. Also needs a way to do store credit in place of refunds.

@@BoffixAccountancy I actually work as a cashier at a large retail store. I got zettle to use for my side business. The pos system we have at the store is very user-friendly and has a lot of features that would definitely be useful with zettle, even just some basics. It's not bad for what it is, but I definitely wouldn't use it if I had an actual store with a physical location. I would switch to a full feature pos system that has universal compatibility with any equipment and software. Definitely would stay away from anything that only uses apple products. No way to customize lol.

@@BoffixAccountancy from what I've seen, both square and zettle/paypal use their own proprietary software and hardware with very few scanners and printers working with them. Square probably has more available hardware that's compatible but it's still limited. So many of the more affordable bluetooth receipt printers and scanners directly say that they don't work with square. The main reasons I went with zettle I the first place was because I already had a paypal account (still had to create a separate one for business and didn't know that before ordering) and the fact that they had the lowest card transaction/processing fees. Like I said it works for what it is but there could be improvements. Honestly there should be another company that starts up that does what square and paypal doesn't and still keeps it affordable. Maybe by people who have actually worked in a physical store before lol.

Yes, it works alongside apple products but the great thing about the terminal is that it works independently without them!
2:00 whats annoying with this ( i have the blue check mark one) is that it keeps losing connection to bluetooth. many times it just wont do it and you have to restart the system and fiddle about which is embarrassing. I also hate the fact that i cant choose what currency i input, fx euros. if im charging 150 euros from a tourist, i first have to recalculate it to Swedish crowns, and that always confuses people. (150 euros is about 1650 sek')

@@BoffixAccountancy very. Im actually experimenten during the off season to see the easiest way to reconnect it. Sometimes it seems that when your phone is hooked up to another BT device like a speaker, that can interfere. Dont get me wrong, i make most of my money with this and for Street selling its invaluable, just need a few tweaks to be perfect. Fx, the app could have a currency converter built in so that it still charged in whatever domestic currency you have, but at least you could show the customer what was going on.
