iZettle Card Reader 2

Product Information

A green button instead of blue – that seems to be the only visible change with the iZettle Reader 2, which has just been launched in the UK. Once you have created a business account through iZettle and have received your card reader, you can pair the reader to Lightspeed Retail. Hardcore iZettle fans, of which there are surprisingly many, might of course upgrade just to get the green button on their sales counter, a sturdier iZettle Reader and sturdier Dock.

And if you break the cable, you don’t have to replace the whole Dock like you had to with the first-generation Dock – you just get the cable, which is a separate component from the Dock itself. This stand is ONLY compatible with the iZettle v2 reader (the one with a green button and no card swipe slot). From the sales floor to the back office, our no-additional-cost app can help simplify your day to day. Learn how you can add your employees that can accept payments on behalf of your business in this article about staff accounts. 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.Given the success of its predecessor, it’s no wonder that iZettle ended up with a very subtle upgrade. In the Zettle app, go to Settings / Card Readers to see the connection status or try to connect again. 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. With the iZettle Reader 2, we have therefore chosen to focus entirely on chip-based cards and contactless payments. Make sure the card reader is properly connected to your device by navigating to Settings / Card Readers in the Zettle App.

Sadly, iZettle Dock 2 is only compatible with Reader 2, just like the old Dock only works with the first iZettle Reader. 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. Payment processing with the iZettle Reader 2 is only available to merchants in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.

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. It will wake up when you take a payment, you can also press the power button or use the app to wake it.
