Commission or a share of transaction fees from the provider, plus margin on terminal sales or rental where your agreement allows it. Income builds as you sign more merchants.

• Friendly, honest selling
• Explaining fees and contracts simply
• Basic tech troubleshooting
• Following up and keeping in touch

• Most resellers and referral agents work under the provider's own authorisation, but check the agreement and confirm with ASIC whether your activities would need your own Australian Financial Services licence or authorisation, for example if you give advice beyond describing the provider's products
• Be clear and fair about fees and lock-in contracts, as misleading claims can breach the Australian Consumer Law and financial services law
• Check card data and privacy obligations, including PCI DSS, and never handle or store card details yourself
• Residual income can change if the provider alters rates or terms, so read the agreement closely
• Check whether you need public liability or professional indemnity insurance
