Common questions
How does a barista redeem a gift card or punch card?
Scan the QR code from the staff app, or key in the short code. The remaining balance or punch count updates instantly and is visible to both of you. No extra terminal required.
Can I sell a monthly coffee subscription?
Yes — that’s a membership. Customers are billed automatically each month through Stripe and can manage or cancel from their own account. You decide what the subscription includes.
Do gift cards expire?
You set the expiry — 12 months is a common default. Balances support partial spends, so a customer can use a $50 card across several visits.
Where does the money go?
Straight to your Stripe account and then your bank. Zillo never holds your funds. You’re the merchant of record, and we take 3% per sale with no monthly fee.
