iZettle, part of PayPal, provides mobile point-of-sale solutions for small businesses.
iZettle holds a strong position as a leading mobile POS provider in Europe, significantly bolstered by its acquisition by PayPal, which allows it to leverage a massive global payment network.
Market Share: iZettle is a market leader in the European mobile POS sector, though specific percentage market share is often aggregated under PayPal's broader financial reporting.
