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.

We, on behalf of Probasee Bengalee Association of NZ, have hired EFTPOS machine from Smartpay a couple of times in the last few year for a couple of our events. Xev has been instrumental with... required support both these times. He had communicated with us throughout the process, and although we had applied for it quite late and were on a tight deadline, Xev made sure we get the terminal on time both the occasions. His communication, and proactive support and follow-up has been really impressive. We are very happy with the service. 100% recommend them if anyone is looking to hire EFTPOS terminals. And, a very special shout out to Xev for his help.read more

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).
