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.

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