Zettle is designed for simple card payments, not full EPOS. EposDirect gives UK businesses complete EPOS — stock management, loyalty cards, kitchen display, delivery integration — for £399 + VAT once.
Zettle by PayPal (formerly iZettle) is a card reader and basic point-of-sale solution aimed at very small businesses and sole traders. As UK businesses grow, Zettle's limitations become costly: no integrated stock management, no loyalty programme, no kitchen display system, no multi-site management, and no delivery platform integration. EposDirect provides all of these features — and more — in a single installed licence for £399 + VAT one-time. Our UK team installs EposDirect on your existing Windows hardware and migrates your Zettle product catalogue and customer data. Most UK businesses switch from Zettle to EposDirect within one business day, gaining a complete business management EPOS system at a one-time cost.
Export your Zettle product library, customer records, and sales history. Our UK team assists with data preparation and format conversion for EposDirect import.
EposDirect works with any UK payment provider — Dojo, Worldpay, Barclaycard, SumUp, Teya, or continue using your Zettle card reader. You are free to choose the best processing rates.
