Manuka Pay
Get started

You're three steps away from accepting payments.

No terminal. No complicated setup. Manuka Pay uses Stripe to handle payments securely — all you need is a business and a bank account.

STEP 01

Create your account

Register with your name and email. Your Manuka Pay merchant account is the control centre for your payment pages, transactions, and settings.

STEP 02

Connect via Stripe

Manuka Pay uses Stripe Connect to process payments securely. You'll be guided through Stripe's onboarding — takes around five minutes. Stripe handles PCI compliance and settlement directly to your bank.

STEP 03

Start getting paid

Your payment page and QR code are ready immediately. Display it on a screen, print it, or stick it up — customers scan, authorise, and you both get confirmation in seconds.

What you'll need

The Stripe onboarding is straightforward — here's what to have ready.

Stripe verifies your identity and business before payouts can begin. This is a regulatory requirement and protects both you and your customers.

Personal identification
A government-issued photo ID — driver licence or passport. Stripe uses this for identity verification.
Business details
Your trading name, business type (sole trader, company, trust, etc.), and registered address.
Bank account
Your NZD bank account details for Stripe to settle payments into.
IRD number
Your IRD number or NZBN if you operate as a company. Required by Stripe for tax compliance.
Mobile number
Used for two-factor authentication during Stripe onboarding.
Common questions

How long does Stripe setup take?

Usually five to ten minutes. Stripe's guided flow walks you through each step. Payouts are enabled once Stripe confirms your identity — typically within one business day.

Do customers need an app?

No. Payment is completed through Stripe Checkout in a browser — customers scan the QR code with their phone camera and pay by card. No app download required.

What are the fees?

Manuka Pay charges a small platform fee on each transaction, on top of Stripe's standard processing fee. See the pricing page for the full breakdown.

Can I use an existing Stripe account?

Yes. When you connect Stripe during onboarding, you can log in with an existing account rather than creating a new one.
