Compare Zeller and Dojo

In-person payments

Zeller and Dojo both offer card machines with 4G connectivity. Zeller Terminal comes in two models starting at £99 + VAT. Dojo's comparable device is the Go Max, priced at £229 + VAT upfront, or £25/month on a rolling basis.

Both include split payments, digital receipts and tipping as standard. But Zeller also includes customisable screensavers, invoicing, Payment Links and POS, all free. Dojo's free Essential plan covers the basics, but features like remote refunds and competitor benchmarking sit behind its Plus plan at £11.99/month, per location.

On rate, Zeller charges 1.3% on domestic Visa and Mastercard in-person payments, no additional fees. Dojo advertises 1.2%, but that's before its authorisation fee and refund fee, both disclosed in Dojo's own terms but not included in the headline rate.

Online payments

For invoicing and remote payments, Zeller offers a complete solution where Dojo doesn't. Zeller Invoices are free, with no monthly subscription, and include custom templates, automated reminders, international cards and Xero Bank Feeds integration as standard — Dojo doesn't offer invoicing at all.

On the Virtual Terminal, Zeller charges a flat 1.50% versus Dojo's 1.7% + £0.05 per transaction, with both providers letting you take payments from a browser, send Payment Links via email or SMS, and track payment status from your dashboard.

Business accounts

Zeller offers a free business account with no monthly fee, unlimited debit cards, and instant transfers. Dojo doesn't offer an equivalent, its focus is payments and card machines, not everyday business banking.

Zeller's debit card has no international spending fees except the Visa exchange rate, with unlimited physical and virtual cards as standard. Expense cards, custom branding and Xero Bank Feeds are all included with your free Zeller Business Account, no upgrade needed.

Dojo's closest offering is cash flow, not banking: Dojo Flex Funds and Business Funding are merchant cash advances repaid as a percentage of daily card takings, plus a Business Rewards Credit Card. All three sit alongside your existing business account rather than replacing it.

Other services

Zeller offers 24/7 support to all merchants via phone, email and SMS, included as standard with every account. Dojo's support runs Monday to Sunday, 8am to 11pm, for technical queries.

Both provide an app for managing your business day to day. Zeller App gives you real-time transactions, invoicing, and account management alongside your dashboard.

Dojo's equivalent is Sidekick, which covers real-time transactions, refunds, payment links, and multi-site performance benchmarking, though several of its more advanced features, like remote refunds and competitor benchmarking, are only available on the paid Plus plan rather than included as standard.

Best company to work with. Terminal 2 is an amazing card machine and, most importantly, the funds reach your account within the same day. On top of that the customer service was spot on. Helped with everything I needed and went the extra mile.
