Merchants need a solution that syncs with their accounting software
Zettle by PayPal’s merchants have diverse accounting needs that differ depending on their sector, transaction volume, location, and approach to bookkeeping. To maximize efforts and minimize workloads, merchants expect their PoS solutions to integrate seamlessly with their accounting software.
To keep merchants engaged, Zettle understood it needed to build a unified customer experience while avoiding the resource-intensive route of developing, maintaining, and supporting multiple accounting integrations from scratch.
A digital-first merchant experience
With customer engagement and retention hinging on a seamless UX, Zettle by PayPal understood the importance of integrations that could provide merchants with the connectivity they expect.
Cost-effective development & support
Automating bookkeeping for merchants is complex and requires dedicated software that Zettle would not be able to build, support, and maintain without significant ongoing investment.
