Zettle online store: how to sell online with Wix

By Kayabyte

Zettle (being renamed PayPal Point of Sale) is a point of sale: it takes card payments, runs your receipts and product library and keeps stock for what you sell in person. To sell online as well, you pair it with a web shop, and the main question is how to keep one stock count between the till and the web. This guide shows how to run a Wix Stores shop next to Zettle: what to set up on each side, how stock stays in step, and which jobs stay where.

What Zettle covers and what it doesn’t

So “Zettle online store” in practice means Zettle plus a web shop, joined by a connector.

Why Wix Stores is a fit for a Zettle shop

Step 1: tidy your products in Zettle

  1. In the Zettle back office, open each product you want to sell online.
  2. Switch on stock tracking, so Zettle keeps a count, and enter the count.
  3. Give each product and variant a SKU you will also use in Wix.
  4. Check that your Zettle market is one where Zettle’s API is available (the United Kingdom, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy and Mexico); every connector depends on it.

Step 2: put the products in Wix Stores

You have two ways:

Step 3: keep one stock count

A shop that sells the same product at the till and online needs both counts to move together, or the web shop sells stock you no longer have. Your choices:

Step 4: decide where each job lives

Job Where
In-person sales and receipts Zettle
Online orders, payments and shipping Wix
Stock count Both, kept in step by the sync
Prices One side leads; a sync with price sync copies them across
New products Create them on one side and import or export them to the other

Online orders stay in Wix. Most stock syncs, ours included, don’t turn them into Zettle sales; they only lower the Zettle count.

FAQ

Does Zettle have an online store? Zettle is a point of sale. To sell online you connect it to a web shop. Zettle lists integrations for Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and Adobe Commerce; for Wix you need a separate app.

Can I sell online with a free Zettle account? Zettle’s API is free to use, and a free account is enough for our app. You pay for the web shop (for Wix Stores, a Wix plan that accepts payments) and for the connector if it is a paid one.

Will online orders show up in Zettle? That depends on the connector. Stock-only syncs, such as ours, lower the Zettle count and leave the order in Wix.

Do I need to keep prices the same in the shop and online? No. You can keep different prices, or use a sync with price sync to copy prices from one side to the other.

Is Zettle now PayPal Point of Sale? PayPal has announced the rename, with the products unchanged. Developer tools and many help pages still say Zettle.
