A developer-first payments platform. Stripe powers checkout for a large share of the web, and Zolto itself settles payments through Stripe Connect — your customers pay into your own Stripe account. When Stripe is the better choice: You have engineering resources and want to build a bespoke checkout. Your business model needs Stripe's full API surface — marketplaces, subscriptions, complex payouts. You already run a storefront you're happy with and only need payments. When Zolto fits better: You want a store and a point-of-sale, not an API to build against. You'd rather photograph your notebook than write a product catalogue by hand. You sell at markets and online and want one inventory across both. Card reader — traditionally: Sold to you, CHF 50–300+; with Zolto: Your phone — NFC tap & TWINT QR. Building the store — traditionally: A developer, or weeks in Shopify; with Zolto: AI drafts it in an afternoon. Inventory — traditionally: Rigid grids you maintain by hand; with Zolto: Scan your notebook; the AI keeps it. Pricing — traditionally: Opaque tiers, surprise fees; with Zolto: Free in person. 1% online, or flat CHF 25. Your money — traditionally: Held, then paid out; with Zolto: Straight into your own Stripe.
