A touch-free way to pay
1% transaction fee for a limited time
PayPal QR Codes are a quick, touch-free checkout option. Instead of tapping their card on the reader, customers can stand at a safe distance, scan a QR code and pay using the PayPal app on their phone.
You can take PayPal payments easily using your Zettle POS – you don’t even need a PayPal account.
Let your customers choose the payment option that suits them best – with PayPal, they can pay even if they forgot their wallet!
See your transactions – including card, cash and PayPal – all together in your digital Backoffice.
Your customer can make a secure payment without touching the card reader, while keeping a safe distance.
Activate “PayPal” in the settings menu in the latest version of the app
Choose “PayPal” as the payment method at checkout
Show the QR code and ask customer to scan it with their PayPal app
You’ll get a payment confirmation in the app, and you’re done!
The transaction rate of 1% for PayPal QR Code transactions is valid until May 31, 2021. From June 1, 2021, the transaction rate you are charged for PayPal QR Code transactions will be your standard card-present transaction fee.
QR codes work in a similar way to barcodes. The unique black and white pattern represents information that can be read by a smartphone – similar to the way a barcode scanner can see the price and name of an item at a supermarket checkout. When your customer scans the QR code with their PayPal app, it tells the app how much the customer needs to pay, and who it’s going to.
Once you’ve rung up the items in the checkout, select “PayPal” as the payment method. A QR code will appear on your screen, which your customer can scan using their PayPal app. They approve the payment on their phone, and then a confirmation will appear on your screen.
The QR codes that appear via the Zettle app are perfectly safe and contain no sensitive information.
It’s free to create and present a QR code to your customer, but there is a 1% transaction fee on every completed PayPal payment.
With traditional cash registers, it can be time consuming and expensive to balance the books. With Zettle's checkout system, all sales are stored securely in the app and on the cloud, so everything is ready for you if you need it.
