An EFTPOS machine is business critical. However, for many business owners who are pondering how to get an EFTPOS machine, the process might seem overwhelming.
Once upon a time, it was. But at Smartpay, we’ve made it easy for you to get EFTPOS payment-ready in three simple steps:
We explain the process of getting an EFTPOS machine to help you get your payment solution sorted.
You’ll want to try to answer the question, “what EFTPOS machine suits my business and offers the best price?”.
Work out your ‘must have’s’. For example, do you need POS integration, tipping, portable terminals, surcharging, cash out, MOTO (payments made over the phone), etc. Having your list of ‘must have’s’ will help you better choose which EFTPOS provider fits your needs.
It’s also worth considering the level of customer support each provider offers (i.e. 24/7 support or, business hour only support, international vs location support, etc.).
The main fees and charges you’ll want to look at are:
The two items above will account for the majority of your EFTPOS fees. However, you should also watch out for other fees such as:
There can be a relationship between price and features (the more features, the higher the price and vice versa). So, you’ll want to weigh up getting all of the features and support you’re after with the price you’re willing to pay.
Smartpay Zero Cost™ EFTPOS is a popular option that allows you to pass merchant fees on to your customers as a surcharge in a fair, reasonable and transparent way. You save on merchant fees and your customers save because you’re able to keep your costs lower. As long as your terminal processes $10,000 of card transactions in any given month, you also won’t pay for terminal rental. If you don’t meet the threshold for the month you simply pay $34.95 (plus GST) for that month per terminal.
