It’s easier than ever to get those tricky customer conversions when your business offers an interest-free buy now pay later (BNPL) service such as zipMoney or zipPay.
Both zipMoney and zipPay allow customers to pay off the item that they’ve purchased over multiple instalments, which can mean more sales for your business. Over 35,000 businesses have partnered with Zip including Bunnings and Officeworks.
How does zipMoney and zipPay work for retailers?
You have to sign up with zipMoney or zipPay in order for your customers to take advantage of the service. However, signing up is easy.
Simply fill out the online form by entering your business and personal details. After you complete the form, a customer service representative will contact you to ensure that everything ran smoothly.
zipMoney works in-store and online, which ensures that no matter where your customers shop, they can benefit from your products and the convenience offered with zipMoney.
As a merchant, you get paid for each zipPay and zipMoney transaction at 4pm AEST each day for transactions that have been processed that day. As Zip owns both zipMoney and zipPay, it makes sense that the payments for merchants would be at the same time across both platforms.

Zip offers support for 20 e-commerce platforms and 24 point-of-sale platforms (POS), including:
Shopify

What potential benefits does Zip offer my business?
Some of the benefits that come with using zipMoney and zipPay include the following:
Increased sales
It's easier than ever to convert store browsers into shoppers with interest-free payment solutions like zipPay and zipMoney.
Available for online, in-app and in-store purchases
Worried that your brick and mortar business won't be able to benefit from the joys of BNPL? Worry no more! zipMoney and zipPay can also be used in store as well as online. You can use it for both your physical and online business.
Risk-free for merchants
Zip takes all the risk when it comes to transactions. It worries about credit and fraud risk whereas all you have to worry about is when your transaction gets approved since you're guaranteed payment after that.
Same-day settlement
Zip makes a point to have every transaction that has gone through your business settled by 4pm the same day. It deposits the money that's been collected directly to your bank account and then collects what is owed from your customers over time.
Up to 30c per sale (excluding GST). You'll pay a maximum of 30c per transaction, but the more of your customers that pay using Zip, the lower this fee will be.
Merchant fee. The merchant fee you need to pay will vary based on the interest-free period you offer customers.
There are no setup or integration fees, and no lock-in contracts when using Zip for your business.
What interest-free plans does Zip offer shoppers?
With zipMoney, customers pay back what they’ve bought various terms, the minimum being 3 months. Customers can be approved for amounts up to $5,000. The repayments are interest free during the initial period (indicated in your personal account) and the standard APR rate will be charged on any balance left over, as well as a $9.95 monthly fee if they don[t pay off their balance each month.
For customers opting to use zipPay, they can be approved for any amount up to $1,000 and have interest-free terms for up to 60 days. After the 60-day period ends, a $9.95 monthly fee applies to any outstanding balance.
