Tips to reduce EFTPOS costs

Consider longer lease terms (such as 24 to 36 months) to help reduce monthly rates.

Consider implementing surcharges on credit card and contactless transactions to mitigate Merchant Service Fees.

Contribute to sustainability by disabling default receipt printing, saving paper and the environment.

Prioritise service quality when evaluating providers; you’re investing in reliability and continual support.

Consider a Point of Sale (POS) system to minimise customer time spent at checkout by eliminating manual keying of transactions and potential errors.

Exemplary customer service from Smartpay and Nathan. I've used Smartpay for first time short-term hires for 2 different NFP's banking at 2 different banks. One bank was very difficult to work with and without Nathan it would have been too late for the event we were holding. Highly recommended to minimise the stress.

Our Rotary Club needed an EFTPOS machine in a hurry, so we contacted Smart Pay. Being elderly, we imagined this would be a daunting task, but it was anything but. Maja, at Smart Pay, realizing not everyone is confident completing and signing on line documents, sent us a printable copy, which made the process very simple. Maja was patient with us oldies, treating us with the utmost respect and consideration. She was friendly, and a pleasure to deal with. Now we are off selling our high end Xmas puddings, so a nice cash injection for our many charities coming up, thanks to Smart Pay !

As a brand new business, Xev at Smartpay was a massive help in getting me set up with this. He listened to my needs, was patient and understanding, extremely knowledgeable and super supportive, checking in regularly to ensure all was ok ...even helping out with what was needed from my bank. Thanks Xev ...you've been amazing. The customer service support team are also fab ...a wee wait sometimes on the phone, but always able to talk me through what's needed to get any issues resolved or any questions answered. Thanks Smartpay ...a smooth intro to using your system! Great value too!

I recently took over a business with an existing terminal, smartpay walked me through their process and on day one, everything worked like it should have. They followed up to ensure I was happy, and now it just works. Mansi Mudgil from Smartpay was excellent to work with.

Understanding EFTPOS machines

Whether you are setting up a new business or are an established business looking to get started with EFTPOS, here are a few useful resources to help you navigate the complexity of EFTPOS machines and providers:

EFTPOS Machine FAQ's

EFTPOS, short for “Electronic Funds Transfer at Point of Sale,” simplifies payments. It allows customers to electronically pay for goods and services, transferring funds directly from their bank accounts to the merchant’s account. Payments can be made via EFTPOS cards, debit/credit cards and digital wallets on smartphones or smartwatches. EFTPOS offers the benefits of speed, convenience and enhanced security during payments for both customers and businesses. It makes payment acceptance easy for businesses, eliminating the need for physical cash or checks.

Payments can be made on EFTPOS terminals with EFTPOS cards, debit or credit cards and electronic devices with a mobile wallet such as, smartphones or smartwatches. There are different ways to process payments, and knowing the differences is important. EFTPOS and debit card payments are processed by inserting or swiping and incur a fixed monthly network fee for the merchant. However, contactless (hover/tap), mobile and credit card payments have additional merchant service fees (MSF) as a percentage of the total transaction cost.

Consider a few basic factors while looking for EFTPOS for your business to ensure that you choose a customisable machine that aligns with your business needs.
  • Consider usage locations and connectivity options (GPRS/3G/4G, Wi-Fi or LAN).
  • Think about the payment methods you want to accept and the costs associated.
  • Consider if you want additional EFTPOS features like POS integrations, surcharging and more.
  • Opt for a user-friendly, versatile EFTPOS terminal that simplifies transactions, is easy to troubleshoot and allows remote feature activation.
Reliability is paramount in payments. Look for an EFTPOS provider that offers ongoing support, security updates, quick issue resolution and expert guidance. Essential factors include the provider’s support, security, contract terms and pricing transparency.
EFTPOS is a cost-effective method for businesses to accept payments with 3 main costs, including:
  • Leasing the machine – often paid monthly to the EFTPOS provider.
  • Connecting to the payment network – paid monthly to the payment network (Worldline).
  • Merchant Service Fees – paid directly to the bank depending on the package negotiated.
In addition to these, you may also want to factor in additional costs, such as POS integration and internet connectivity, paid directly to the providers.

Smartpay EFTPOS terminals require a working internet connection to the payment network to process payment transactions. Having a stable internet connection is important to avoid communication errors and time-outs on transactions. The terminal connects to the internet using either a Wired (LAN), Wireless (Wi-FI) or GPRS (SIM card) connection. It is important to ensure the connection is reliable and backup comms methods are available (such as a mobile hotspot).
