You can list, quote and be found without any of this. You need it before you can be paid through NovaPay, which is the point where it is worth twenty minutes of your afternoon.

Connect Stripe

Stripe handles card payments and does the identity checks the law requires. Have your IRD number, your bank account and a photo ID handy. The form is Stripe's own, inside the app.

Add your bank account

This is what lets customers pay you by bank transfer. It costs them less than a card, and it is the option most of them pick.

Set your rates

Your call-out fee and your hourly rate. Your agent uses these to draft quotes in your name, so the numbers that go out are yours.

What you'll see in the app

The setup list. It remembers where you got to.

When the money arrives

A card payment reaches your Stripe account as the payment goes through, and Stripe pays it out to your bank on its usual schedule. A bank transfer lands in your account directly, because it goes from the customer's bank to yours with nobody in between.

We don't hold your takings

There is no NovaPay account your money sits in waiting to be released. It goes to you.
