A card-reader-first payments company aimed at small merchants and market traders, selling handheld terminals alongside a payments account. When SumUp is the better choice: You want a dedicated physical terminal rather than using your phone. You take payments in places where handing over a separate device matters. You don't need an online store at all. When Zolto fits better: You'd rather not buy hardware — modern phones take contactless and TWINT QR already. You want the same catalogue behind your stall and your website. You want AI to do the listing, translating and customer answering. 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.
