It's been a big start to 2025, and we’ve been hard at work building and releasing your most requested features. This month has seen a major new feature release – Zeller Bill at Table – as well as several other exciting enhancements and updates to help you get paid more smoothly when using Zeller POS Lite . Read on to learn more about what’s new at Zeller this April. Accept cash payments with Zeller POS Lite. While card transactions are by far the preferred payment method for most Australians, we’ve now enabled you to also record physical cash sales when you’re using Zeller POS Lite from Zeller Terminal or App. To record cash as the tendered option in a transaction, simply select the items to be sold as usual, and then select “cash” as the tender for payment. Key in how much has been paid in physical cash, and provide customers with an itemised receipt. If your customers choose to tip with physical cash (e.g. “You keep the change”), this can now be recorded too. The option to record cash sales in Zeller POS Lite is controllable by site, and turned off by default. Simply activate this option in ‘Settings’ on both Zeller Terminal 2 and Zeller App . Also, watch this space – more features related to how you manage and report cash payments are coming soon! Process 100% discounts on items sold with Zeller POS Lite. Applying a discount to an item sold using Zeller POS Lite is now even easier, as we’ve added the ability to offer a 100% discount (or a $0 sale) in the event you’re supplying a giveaway, offering a free gift with purchase, or issuing warranty receipts. By being able to record items discounted by 100% with Zeller POS Lite on your terminal or Zeller App, you’ll benefit from clearer inventory reconciliation and a much more accurate view of your total items sold in any time period. Present the bill and accept payment tableside seamlessly with Zeller Bill at Table. Restaurants can now present diners with itemised bills displayed directly on Zeller Terminal 's large digital screen, and then instantly accept payment tableside. Zeller Bill at Table allows customers to settle their bill quickly, split payments effortlessly and tip with ease, making for happier diners and faster table turnover. In fact, Zeller Bill at Table is proven to help restaurants turn tables up to 73% faster from bill request to out-the-door. As Ben Hickey from The Roosevelt in Sydney  said, “More covers means more revenue". Learn more about Zeller Bill at Table here . Enhanced site management from Zeller App. Merchants with multiple business locations can now manage their sites directly from within Zeller App, including site-specific features such as surcharging, GST, tipping, receipt and terminal customisation. This makes it easier for you to make instant changes to site settings – for example, enabling tipping for a pop-up restaurant, or switching off tipping prompts when the lunch rush hits – when you’re on the go, rather than having to log into your Zeller Dashboard from a desktop computer. Smarter item management with Zeller Invoices. Time-saving functionality that was originally developed for Zeller POS Lite (and proved very popular) has now also been added to item management on Zeller Invoices. This includes improved handling of attributes and discounts, plus new support for item modifiers, too. The navigation of Zeller Invoices has also had a refresh, with a sleek new side menu that allows you to browse or create items, complete with unit price, quantity, and description. You can also now toggle GST on or off, apply discounts, and reorder items on your invoice via drag and drop, making it easier than ever to create and send customised invoices that help you get paid faster.

You asked for these features, we've just crossed them off our to-do list. This month, we've made some updates that will give your customers more flexibility at checkout and keep more money in your business. Our new item-by-item bill splitting feature will let diners enjoy a meal without the maths, while the ability to pass on invoice processing fees and to quickly add service charges will benefit your bottom line. Read on to find out more. Simplify checkout with flexible, item-by-item bill splitting. If you’re using Impos or Tevalis with Zeller Bill at Table , your staff can now split a bill by individual menu items right on the terminal. It’s quicker for mixed orders and removes the guesswork when settling who had what.  On your Zeller Terminal bill splitting screen you’ll now see three options: People, Amount, and Items. Choose Items to assign specific dishes or drinks to each diner and charge them separately. This new feature is available on both Zeller Terminal 1 and Zeller Terminal 2.  Recover invoice processing fees with a surcharge. When customers pay an invoice via the Zeller payment gateway, the processing fee is 1.7% + 25c. If you’d prefer not to absorb that cost, you can now pass on some or all of it to your customer and still get paid fast without waiting on a bank transfer.  From Zeller Dashboard on desktop, open Invoices → Settings and enable Surcharging. Choose full or partial surcharging for your invoices. Your choice applies the fee automatically when the customer pays. Cover higher operating costs with service charges . You can now add a service charge to POS Lite sales and Zeller Invoices. Define any charge that fits your business – the common ones are weekend or public holiday surcharges, though you can also use it for delivery or packaging fees.  Create your service charges in Zeller Dashboard. They’ll then appear as handy shortcuts when creating an invoice or on the payment screen of your terminal. Works with Zeller POS Lite on Zeller Terminal 2 and Zeller Tap to Pay.  Try these new features today. Log in to your Zeller Dashboard to try the updates, or test them with Zeller POS Lite from Zeller Terminal or Zeller App. Got ideas for what we should build next? Send them to feedback@myzeller.com – most of this month’s releases came directly from your feedback.

If you have to get in a car or truck to travel to your customers, this article is for you. Whether you’re grooming dogs, running bootcamps, cleaning houses, offering home-based beauty treatments, or selling from a market stall: how you configure your payment system will be distinctly different from a standard bricks-and-mortar business. This article will outline the simplest and most affordable way to take payments instantly and manage your business finances, all from a single app on the smartphone you already own. Goodbye cash, invoicing, and bank transfers. Hello instant on-the-spot payments on your smartphone. Just because you run a mobile business, doesn’t mean you have to wait to get paid, nor do you need to purchase an EFTPOS machine designed for countertops. If you travel to meet your customer, you’ve got an opportunity to get paid on the spot, with no extra hardware, and no need for follow-up invoices (aka late payments). Today, the best solution for mobile merchants and market stall holders is to accept contactless card payments on a smartphone .  Introducing: Tap to Pay In Australia, the ability to use your smartphone like a payment terminal is known as Tap to Pay and is available through payment apps such as Zeller, for use on both iPhone and Android devices. Using NFC technology (the same technology behind mobile wallets), apps like Zeller can turn your phone into an EFTPOS machine, allowing your customers to simply tap their card or digital wallet to your phone. What is the most affordable Tap to Pay solution? In Australia, the most affordable and comprehensive Tap to Pay provider is Zeller. With one flat rate of 1.4% per tap for all cards, including American Express, no hidden fees or lock-in contracts, and the ability to automatically pass on the per-transaction fee with a surcharge, Zeller’s solution provides businesses with the most value for money. While other providers such as Westpac, ANZ or Tyro offer similar rates, their pricing is not wholly transparent and the sign-up process is lengthy. Furthermore, they require a separate app to use the Tap to Pay feature, while Zeller offers it as a built-in function within a single app, where you can also manage your accounts, cards, invoicing, tracking, and more. Meanwhile, Square offers a service similar to Zeller's, but at a higher rate of 1.6%. Other providers include NAB, SumUp, Pebl and Airpay, however their solutions are often only compatible with either Android or iPhone and frequently involve higher per-transaction fees and lock-in contracts. Why is Tap to Pay with Zeller the best payment system for mobile businesses? When you sign up to Tap to Pay with Zeller, you also benefit from Zeller’s whole ecosystem of financial tools to help manage your business finances, including (but not limited to) a free transaction account, debit card, and tools for sending online invoices and getting paid online with convenient payment links. If you’re not already convinced, here’s every reason why Tap to Pay with Zeller App is the top-rated payment solution among mobile merchants and market stall holders:  1. You already own the hardware, simply download the app.  By using your smartphone, you eliminate upfront hardware purchase costs, monthly terminal rental fees, and maintenance overhead. Plus, you don’t need to worry about carrying another device. Your payment solution is in your pocket.  2. You can accept all contactless payments. Tap to Pay caters to all customer preferences by accepting contactless debit/credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and other digital wallets. 3. The pricing is simple and predictable.  Zeller’s easy-to-understand pricing makes financial planning and reconciliation simple. Tap to Pay with Zeller App incurs a simple 1.4% per-transaction fee, which can be passed on to your customer automatically by toggling surcharging on. There are no hidden fees or lock-in contracts. 4. Employees can accept payments on their smartphones from the same account. If you have multiple staff members, they can take payments on their own devices (Android or iPhone) all with the same single business account. Plus, with Zeller, you decide what each team member can access, keeping sensitive account information protected. 5. You gain access to a free point-of-sale system. With Zeller POS Lite, you can build and manage a library of items by adding details like name, description, price, and image. This makes checkout faster, allows you to issue itemised receipts, and is especially helpful for businesses that sell a wide range of products or process refunds. You can also import a pre-existing item library instantly to your Zeller Account via a CSV file upload.  6. Your funds are ready to use straight after making a sale .  If you choose to settle your funds into Zeller Transaction Account , you will have instant access to your funds, which you can spend immediately using Zeller Debit Card . Alternatively, settle funds into a third-party bank account and access your funds the next business day.  7. You can send digital receipts to your customers via SMS or email. Not having an EFTPOS machine does not mean compromising on professionalism or efficiency. Tap to Pay lets you offer customers paperless digital receipts, simplifying record-keeping.  8. You can accept payments over the contactless limit with a PIN entry.  Tap to Pay allows you to securely accept payments, even those above the standard contactless threshold of $200. Customers are invited to simply enter their PIN on your phone's screen.    9. You can use the service as much or as little as you need (it won’t cost you). With no lock-in contracts or exit fees, you can use Tap to Pay whenever you need to – whether that’s once a week, once a month, or once a year. It’s a solution that is as flexible as your business, and is especially good for market stall holders that operate seasonally.  10. You can track sales and manage transactions with a user-friendly dashboard.   Log in to your Zeller Dashboard or Zeller App to access a comprehensive overview of all your received payments and expenses paid for with your Zeller Debit Card. With all your business finances consolidated, you can easily access detailed analytics and trend reports. 11. You can integrate Zeller with your Xero accounting software. When you accept payments with Zeller, every sale and settlement can be easily reconciled in your Xero accounting software with a Xero Bank Feed integration . You no longer need to worry about manual transaction imports, all your settlement data will appear directly in your Xero account.   How secure is Tap to Pay with Zeller App? Zeller Tap to Pay uses the same secure NFC technology as in-store terminals, and is fully compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Transactions are encrypted end-to-end and processed in real time, so there’s no delay and no doubt. No sensitive card information is stored on your device, which means every tap is protected for both you and your customers. How do you get set up with Tap to Pay? Zeller Tap to Pay works on any Android phone with NFC, as well as any iPhone XS or later running iOS 16.4 or higher. You’ll also need a Zeller Account (free to set up) and internet access (Wi-Fi or mobile data). That’s it! No other hardware required. Follow these steps to get started:
