How to get setup with UnionPay Direct

Setting you up for UnionPay is very simple. There are two options available – either processing through the Worldline (formerly Paymark) network or through our UnionPay Direct add on. If your merchant bank can act as your acquirer, you’ll just need the latest software on compatible terminals and you can accept UnionPay through the Paymark network in the same way you do a Visa or Mastercard payment.

If your bank doesn’t support UnionPay, we can offer you UnionPay Direct on your existing terminal. Sign the merchant agreement with UnionPay, download the software to the Smartpay terminal and you are up and running.

To get UnionPay Direct on your Smartpay EFTPOS terminal, simply complete the Merchant Agreement form and return to sales@smartpay.co.nz or fax to 09 442 0622

We needed an EFTPOS machine to be set up for our new salon business at very short notice and SmartPay was so good! They managed to get everything ready in time for the morning that we took over the business and their local rep even came in first thing to set it up for us so that we could get straight into taking payments without worry from that day. The actual machine looks great and has worked flawlessly ever since. Totally recommend SmartPay!

We set up a Takeaway Coffee business recently and needed an Eftpos /Point of Sale solution. What Smartpay offered was excellent, even got free point of sale software (you'll need an IOS device to run it). The set up was smooth and friendly, and the solution robust and reliable. Highly recommend Smartpay.

I am extremely happy with the customer service I received from Joshua Cammock. He was quick (like within the hr) to call me when I placed an online enquiry, helped me with every little step I needed to know as a new business owner setting up eftpos for the first time. Set up my eftpos and managed to have one in my hands the day before I opened when I expected it to take much longer. Thanks Joshua for making something i found daunting such an easy process for me!

Got a call from the TL today regarding the service, it was so nice to see the prompt response to help customers with any grievances.Had a very bad experience Monday night, usually Smartpay does above exceptional service but this time I came across a rep who did not want to help but kept telling what things they can't support. I worked in tech support, and there is something called probing. You ask questions like what is not working instead of shutting off your customer saying, we don't support that.Otherwise Smartpay is always so good.

So far so good! Joshua Cammock was very organised and had excellent communication skills. Kept me informed and explained how it all works in great detail. Highly recommended 🤙

Smartpay guys are really good, they have excellent customer skills, and they know how to respect their customer. I spoke to Pam L, an agent who assisted me to get my Eftpos machines, she was absolutely amazing, she followed through patiently till the end and was so gracious with all the queries and doubts. She is certainly someone who has a great heart and attitude.Also when I reached outside the hours of pickup, the other agent actually came out of the office and waited for me to handed over the device to me... "that just blew me off", do you really need to do that guys!Thank you so so very much!Chris WelslyChai Wala Bhai

We decided to switch providers from WindCave for their poor service etc. From the "Get-Go" we dealth with Xev. They made it so easy for us. From signing up and making sure we knew what our next step was and ETA's - we were communicated with from the JUMP. Thank you SmartPay team - give my mate Xev a raise or some sort of recognition please.Even after we were all set up - when I emailed for assistance, he referred us onto the help desk team and was so polite and informative. Its always very nerve racking when switching providers and even more so when your liaison is not even informative. We really do appreciate your amazing service Xev!Highly recommend!Team at Health New Lynn

Jamie is an amazing rep - he has chased my business, and chased my bank for me. Apart from being friendly and efficient, he was also really good at getting the job done.I have been the worst customer ever - but he got me there in the end 🙂 5 stars and a pay rise for Jamie!
