iZettle Card Reader 2

Product Information

Battery: The card reader is charged with a micro USB cable. It will automatically go into sleep mode when not in use, and the battery therefore lasts longer than older models that received complaints about short battery life. Battery life is on average 8 hours with a transaction every 5 minutes, or 250+ transactions from one charge.

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.

Simply restart the reader by holding down the power button on top of the reader for up to 3 seconds. When the reader is turned off, start it again.

Make sure the card reader is properly connected to your device by navigating to Settings / Card Readers in the Zettle App. If you can’t see it there, you may need to reconnect the reader. 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.
