Vagaro provides Credit Card Processing for businesses in Australia (AU) that charge credit and debit cards as payment from customers. Along with competitive rates and many other benefits, including charging credit cards, storing customers' credit cards on file, setting up recurring membership or package plans, and more. All business owners and service providers who sign up for credit card processing are eligible to order a free credit card reader.
In Australia, there is no monthly cost to turn on Credit Card Processing, but processing rates will still apply.
Note
This article covers signing up for credit card processing in Australia. You can also sign up for credit card processing in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada.
Signing up for Credit Card Processing will take you out of the free trial.
Prerequisites: Available for all businesses not in the free trial.
Both commission-based and paid employees do not need their own merchant account, but self-employed or booth renter employees are encouraged to sign up on their own.
Employees must sign in to their Vagaro account (not the business owner's) to apply. If you sign up for credit card processing while logged as the business owner, the application will be submitted under the business owner.
Follow the steps above to apply for Credit Card Processing as an employee.
There is no required credit check for approval, and the approval process is instant. You'll receive an email once the merchant account is approved.
The banking industry and government regulations require us to ask all of our merchant account holders for full name, date of birth, and Tax File number. A merchant account cannot be created without this information.
Even if you plan to use our merchant services as a business or organization, you still must provide your name, mailing address, date of birth, and a valid Tax File Number. If you are not a sole proprietor, you will need the previously mentioned information, an Australian Business Number, a company document, and an Australian Company Number.

If you are a sole proprietor or individual doing business under your legal name, like Tom Smith, you usually are not required to register your business name.
Merchants can change the Doing Business As (DBA) on their account, not the legal business name. If you want to change your legal business name on Vagaro, contact support with documentation supporting that change.
When signing up, you must classify how you’ll use our merchant services by selecting your Business Type. Vagaro uses this information to provide you with the best features to help you grow your business.
If you’ve already set your business type and want to change it, send a request to support@vagaro.com.
