Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd and iZettle, A PayPal Service, have today announced a new partnership to support small businesses nationwide by streamlining payment acceptance. The two companies are joining forces to leverage their technology and explore innovative solutions for small businesses.
Samsung will start by offering iZettle’s technology as part of a new small business bundle allowing merchants that purchase its Enterprise Edition and select other devices to access easy and affordable commerce tools that help them run and grow their business.
By using iZettle with Samsung devices, merchants will be able to accept fast and secure payments, in seconds, optimising the speed and experience of customer transactions, and reducing the need for cash. Merchants will also be able to login to iZettle to access business critical analytics including real time sales data and smart stock management.
The collaboration reaffirms Samsung and iZettle’s commitment to supporting the growth of small businesses and comes at a time when industry collaboration has never been more important.

Going mobile is key and by joining forces with Samsung, we’re enabling more small businesses to accept contactless payments in seconds.”
