Why Nexxtap Works Brilliantly for Schools
From fetes to fundraising, tuckshops (aka canteen if outside QLD) to uniform sales, tap into smarter payments.

School life is full of moving parts, and when it comes to managing payments, things can get chaotic. Whether you're planning a school fete, streamlining the tuckshop, or looking for a simpler way to collect dress-up day donations, Nexxtap helps schools take payments into the digital age, with no extra hardware and no stress.

Flexible, Portable, and Volunteer-Friendly

Organising a school event is already a big job. Adding payment terminals into the mix just complicates things, especially when they're costly to rent, hard to set up, or need training to use.

With Nexxtap, there’s none of that.

Your P&F volunteers or staff can download the Nexxtap app directly onto their own phones or school tablets, log into the school’s Nexxtap account, and start accepting payments in minutes. That means no terminals, no cords, no dramas, just a simple, secure way to take payments from anywhere on school grounds.

Perfect for:

  • School fetes and fundraising stalls

  • Raffles and donation drives

  • Sausage sizzles and bake sales

  • Secondhand uniform shops

  • Sports and music events

Speed Up Tuckshop and Uniform Sales

We all know the school tuckshop line can get hectic. With Nexxtap, staff can serve faster and reduce wait times by accepting card and digital wallet payments directly from a phone or tablet.

Want to take it a step further? Nexxtap+ with KDS (Kitchen Display System) lets staff upload items with images (like sushi rolls or apple juice), so they can simply tap to select, process payment, and keep things moving, no more scribbled paper dockets or order mix-ups.

No More Scrambling for Loose Change

“Mum, I need a gold coin for dress-up day!”,  it’s a classic, but not everyone has spare change in the car anymore. With Nexxtap, you can set up a donation station at school entrances where parents tap their card or phone on arrival. Easy, fast, and trackable.
