A familiar sight at small businesses around the country, iZettle Reader has collected praise not only from users, but even won the Red Dot Award design prize in 2017. Given the success of its predecessor, it’s no wonder that iZettle ended up with a very subtle upgrade. Magnetic stripe is an older technology that today makes up for a very small part of Europe’s card payments, and is being incrementally phased out by the card networks. It will wake up when you take a payment, you can also press the power button or use the app to wake it. iZettle has been unusually quiet about the update, and a lot of the company material even mixes images of the 1st generation Reader with those of the new one.

But for those already using the ubiquitous iZettle Reader, this iterative upgrade may not be worth the cost. With the iZettle Reader 2, we have therefore chosen to focus entirely on chip-based cards and contactless payments.And before you think the green button instead of blue is just a style choice – it was found that green is more intuitively indicate of “OK”/”confirm”, making it the smarter colour for that button. To connect any Zettle card reader with your smartphone or tablet, open the Zettle Go-app and go to Settings > Card readers. You can send, spend, or transfer the funds in your PayPal balance – you can also choose to set up automatic transfers to your bank with no added fee. The stand can be used on any flat surface to support the reader, allowing easy removal of the device, or for use of the device in the stand at the point of sale.

Make sure the card reader is properly connected to your device by navigating to Settings / Card Readers in the Zettle App. The first Reader already complied with the strictest security standards set out by the industry, and it is tamperproof.Zettle is part of the PayPal family; you can get started with Zettle by creating a PayPal Business account.

It has the same battery life as the old device at 8 hours, but the improved sleep function means it will consume less electricity than the first iZettle Reader and thereby last 250+ transactions instead of around 100 that the old Reader could do on one charge.
