You’ll find out your merchant service fee on approval, after you’ve submitted your application. It’s free to sign up and give Zip a go for your business.
Can I use Zip in my physical store or just online?
You can accept Zip both online through our eCommerce integration, or in a physical store using our Zip In-Store Terminal. You can accept both, or just one! To inquire about Zip, complete our application form on our Merchant Section.
When do I get paid?
You will get the full purchase amount less our agreed Merchant Fee paid into your allocated bank account the business day following the purchase.
What happens if a customer doesn't cover their future instalments?
Part of the Zip service is that as part of your Merchant Fee we take all credit risk so you will always be paid the full purchase amount less our agreed fee the following business day. If a customer misses an instalment in the future, this is 100% on us to recover from them, but in the vast majority of cases, our customers pay their instalments on time.
Are there any other transaction fees charged to accept Zip?
Generally not. The only exception to this may be if you are using a low-cost Shopify account which charges additional fees on all payment providers. We have no control over these fees.
Do I have to commit to a fixed term to accept Zip?
No. We have no fixed term commitment as we 100% believe in our product and we’re confident that once you start accepting Zip, you will want to stay working with us without needing a contract. If you ever feel Zip isn’t working for you, you can remove the integration at any time.

"Increasing key metrics is important to us, as it is for any ecommerce merchant, and average order value is something we wanted to improve. Zip helped us do that."
Moda Bella
"Zip is quick and credit can be given instantly. People seem happy that this service is available and I think at times they spend more than what they initially intended to."
Aurum Hairstylists
"The best benefit is that it is extremely easy to upsell customers home care and add on services - people are spending more willingly as they are excited to be able to afford to keep their hair looking amazing for the full 6 weeks. The upsell opportunity by far makes it worth it for such a small fee (just a little more than a regular credit card payment.) "
We work with our partners to build mutually beneficial partnerships. Check out our Resources section for current Zip merchants to optimise the Zip customer experience.
