Zeller

What Is Zeller?

Zeller is a cloud-based Point-of-Sale (POS) and Financial platform built for Australian retail and hospitality businesses. It combines core checkout functions, fast card processing, invoicing, and business transaction accounts in one setup. It connects front-of-house sales with back-office banking tools and lets owners run daily operations and manage funds easily. This is all done without the use of complicated hardware.

What Is Zeller Best For?

This software stands out for its "Virtual Terminal," which offers web-based payments and easy digital invoice links. You can manually key in card details or text and email payment links for quick remote sales. Skipping physical card readers makes it a great fit for service providers, wholesalers, and off-site teams. By bringing billing directly into your browser, it speeds up payouts and takes the hassle out of remote invoicing.

How Much Does Zeller Cost?

Zeller is available for free of cost. However, organizations should account for certain expenses. These include:

• Tap to Pay: 1.4% (incl. GST)/card-present payment. Accepts cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and other digital wallets
• Zeller Debit Card: $0/month transaction fees and 0% foreign transaction fees, both for a limited time. Foreign-currency purchases are converted to AUD at Mastercard's exchange rate at the time of the transaction
• Zeller Corporate Cards: $9/active card/month, with a 60-day free trial from first card activation. An active card is one issued to an employee

Zeller Use Cases

Based on our analysis of user reviews and Zeller features, we have identified the following key business scenarios where it is well suited:

Self-Employed Photographers Losing Sales To Unreliable Card Readers

A self-employed photographer who takes payment in the studio and on location cannot always rely on a phone-paired card reader. In this regard, users can process payments through the Zeller App, negotiate service fees, and reconcile sales via its Xero integration. This way, with applicable card fees for a merchant's spending, the account keeps pricing reliable even for international clients.

Small Retail Teams Needing Fast, Error-Free Staff Onboarding

The software is well-suited for small retail teams needing new staff to process payments correctly right away. User feedback reports that low transaction fees and an intuitive interface let staff handle payments, sales reporting, and reconciliation within seconds, shortening onboarding time. No monthly rental fees, subscription costs, or lock-in contracts keep total cost predictable as the team grows.

Tourism And Transport Operators Taking Payment Without A Fixed Counter

Zeller is used by tourism operators who take payment inside a vehicle rather than at a fixed counter, where cash and change are impractical to carry. Users can process fares through a portable terminal with tap-to-pay, printing a receipt on the spot instead of making change. A dedicated SIM card option keeps the terminal connected independently of a paired phone, useful across multiple routes in a day.

Food And Beverage Businesses Switching Providers Without Disrupting Service

For food and beverage businesses switching providers mid-operation, a smooth transition matters as much as new features. Reviewers moving from alternatives after integration problems found onboarding easy with help from Zeller representatives. The POS system can be launched afterward. The terminal accepts Apple Pay and Google Pay from customers, letting counter and table service take contactless payment either way.

Is Zeller Right For You?

If you're a business owner looking for a simpler way to accept payments, Zeller offers an all-in-one payments platform. It supports many types of businesses and is trusted by thousands of businesses worldwide. Some of its global customers include Baskin Robbins, Domino’s, and Movida.
