Vendl takes the deposit on a card, saves it for the balance, and groups deliveries by area so the Saturday run is planned - not guessed.

Firewood questions
For splitters and bulk sellers - deposits without chasing invoices.
How do deposits work?
Buyers pay a deposit (default 30%) when they order. The balance is charged from their saved card before delivery.
Do I deliver or do they collect?
Delivery is the default - buyers enter an address. You can switch products to collection if you prefer.
What if the balance charge fails?
Vendl retries and emails the buyer a link. The load stays on hold until the balance clears.
Do I need a website?
No. Your Vendl shop is included - share a link or print a QR.
“It was all so easy and fast to set up - your 10-minute setup was generous. I did it all in about three!”
“I was keen to try something that didn't have so many fees - like PayID.”
Start free. Pay only when a card sale is made.
A$0 per month, with every Vendl feature.
Cash and local bank payments have no Vendl fee - PayID in Australia, Pay by Bank in the UK & Europe, and other local options where available. Card, Tap & Go and pay-later sales on Free include a 2.5% + 30c Vendl fee via Stripe (2.5% via Square or PayPal), plus standard processing fees.
Outside Australia you can absorb the Vendl fee or pass it on to customers. Upgrade to Pro later to remove it.
