The problem
Getting paid on the job shouldn't need a terminal
You finish the work. The client's ready to pay. And then it's "I'll bank transfer you later" — which sometimes means never.
No terminal on hand
Carrying an EFTPOS machine to every job site, market stall or client visit isn't realistic for a sole trader.
Payment chasing eats your week
An invoice sent today might not get paid for days — and every follow-up is time you're not billing.
Manual reconciliation
Even when you do get paid, matching it back to the right invoice is another job on top of the job.
How it works
Four taps, paid in full
Your phone already has what it needs. Tap & Go uses its built-in NFC chip to take a contactless payment — no extra hardware.
