Secure payment processing for Kiwi clubs and societies

Running a club or society in Aotearoa should be about bringing people together, not chasing up unpaid subs. Whether you manage a local sports club, a university society, or a nationwide association, Paystation provides straight up payment solutions designed to make your administration effortless. As a Trade Me subsidiary, we offer a trusted payment gateway nz infrastructure so you can accept credit card payments with ease.

Collect memberships easily with recurring payments

Get paid fast with PayMe and digital invoices

Managing annual or monthly memberships means handling a steady stream of transactions. Our back-office merchant payment solutions take the headache out of collecting club fees. We use tokenisation to securely encrypt and store member card data for recurring billing. We swap sensitive credit card numbers for a unique token, meaning you can process regular subscription payments seamlessly without raw numbers ever touching your internal servers.

Need to collect one-off fees for an upcoming event, or chase up a late membership? Our PayMe tool lets you generate unique payment URLs to email directly to your members. It is the perfect way to send a secure digital invoice so members can make an online payment instantly from their phone or computer. Plus, our Xero integration allows members to pay directly from their invoice, and your ledger automatically reconciles the transaction to keep your club’s accounting clean and simple.

Low-friction online payments for events and merchandise

If your club runs a web store for merchandise or event ticketing, we integrate smoothly with familiar eCommerce shopping carts,. We highly recommend our fully hosted (3-party) setup for community organisations. When a member is ready to pay, we redirect them to a secure Paystation page to complete the checkout. This handles the heavy lifting of your PCI compliance, keeping your scope incredibly low and ensuring card data never touches your local environment. It also includes built-in 3DS security (Verified by Visa and Mastercard SecureCode) to protect your organisation from fraudulent chargebacks.

Straight up pricing that fits your club

We know community organisations need to keep overheads low. We offer competitive, month-to-month plans for handling bulk back-office billing effortlessly. To use us as your payment provider, you just need a merchant facility and a ‘Linked Gateway’ Merchant ID from your local bank. We work directly with all major New Zealand banks—including ANZ, ASB, BNZ, Kiwibank, and Westpac—to get your money settled fast.
