iZettle
Has just landed in Spainan alternative solution for small businesses and self-employed workers who don't want to depend on the dataphone or credit card reader His name is iZettle , is Swedish and offers considerable savings compared to the classic system. But the most curious thing is that you only need a smartphone or tablet, for nowApple, in order to use this payment serviceA system that is already implemented in Nordic countries and the United Kingdom, in 53,000 businesses
iZettle offers a payment service insurance through Internet thanks to our portable devices. Faced with the expensive dataphone that you have to contract with a bank for a period of stay that can reach 24 months and that also has registration expenses, monthly payments and different commissions, the creators of iZettle propose a service that only charges 2, 75% commission per operation And, in addition, give away the card reader to connect it to our device and make the transaction much more comfortable and fast Of course, if we don't use your reader the commission price increases.
Its operation is very simple Once we have the application iZettle and the card reader, just follow a few simple steps. The first thing is to indicate the price of the transaction, being able to add even a description andphoto to complete the operation. With what remains a record of the product. After that, you must insert the card in the reader or enter the data manually. The transaction is completed with the acceptance of the buyer and his signature on the screen Finally, it is possible to send a payment receipt via email to buyer.
With this, we have a fast and secure service to make all kinds of payments. And it complies with the protection standards to secure transactions.According to its creators, Jacob de Geer and Magnus Nilsson, the original idea belongs to the creator of Twitter , Jack Dorsey He has developed a tool called Square with a similar goal, but focused on paying with magnetic stripe cards When the Swede Jacob de Geer wanted to use it, discovered that did not support chip cards, which are the standard in Europe. Hence his idea for iZettle
An idea that seems to have caught the attention of the large card companies Apparently, MasterCard has already opted for this tool, making an investment for its development. For its part, Visa supports Square, starting a war that has already fought several battles . The fact is that the Visa Europe division itself has blocked operations carried out with its cards through the iZettle service in Finland, Norway and Denmark, the main countries where it operates.
For now, the application iZettle is not available in the App Store in Spain , although it is hoped that it will arrive in the next few days. And it is that this service has begun its journey in Apple devices, although since last month they have also begun to use devices Android The card reader works for both platforms, connecting via the headphone minijack connector
