PayPal POS (Zettle) enables businesses to accept in-person payments through a dedicated card reader terminal, offering a fast and reliable alternative to manual payment processing. It's well suited for retail stores, cafes and restaurants, salons, pop-up shops, and other businesses handling face-to-face transactions. This article walks you through connecting your PayPal POS (Zettle) account to RO App, from creating your API key to pairing your reader and saving your integration settings.
If you encounter any issues during setup, please contact our support team for assistance.

API Key and Client ID - the ones created in your Zettle account.
Fill in the pairing code.

How to get a pairing code
Turn on your PayPal Reader and enter 4578. The reader will appear as an available Wi-Fi hotspot.
On your computer, where you’re connecting the integration, open Wi-Fi settings and connect to the PayPal Reader. Enter the password displayed on the reader's screen.
In a web browser on the same device and go to http://192.168.4.1/.
Follow the on-screen instructions to connect the PayPal Reader to your preferred Wi-Fi network.
Once the reader is connected to Wi-Fi, an 8-digit pairing code will appear on the reader's screen. You'll use this code to pair the reader with your RO App account.
Step 3. Save the settings.
After you have added active merchants and enabled the integration, click on the “Save” button. Done! The integration is enabled.
