Payments that protect your bottom line

Payments can quietly cost your clinic more than you realise. From processing fees to manual errors and delayed cash flow, here’s how Tyro Health helps you stay in control from day one.

  • Process payments from your VPMS

    Initiate payments straight from the invoice in your VPMS for easier, faster transactions and greater accuracy.

  • Accept payments for more scenarios

    Offer flexible payment options including in-clinic payments, manual card-not-present (MOTO), Payment Links ^ and Afterpay, so you can take payment the way that best suits your clinic and your clients.

  • Faster settlement

    Daily settlement § into your nominated Australian bank account means your cash flow reflects your actual trading – weekends and public holidays included.

The trusted choice for vets and software providers nationwide

Payments that make your day easier to close

The people managing the front desk and end-of-day close know that the EFTPOS machine is only part of the picture. Here’s what Tyro Health brings to the rest of it.

    Access detailed transaction and invoice history in one place, making it easier to reconcile payments throughout the day or at close of business. With flexible end-of-day cutover available on compatible devices*, you can reconcile on your schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What EFTPOS solutions does Tyro Health offer for veterinary clinics?

    Tyro Health recommends 3 EFTPOS devices for vet clinics: the Pro Touch, a full touchscreen device, the Pro Key, a device with touchscreen and tactile keypad, or the Pro Lite, a lightweight, portable solution. All devices handle payments only.

  • Can I integrate Tyro Health EFTPOS with my veterinary practice management software?

    Tyro Health integrates with a growing range of veterinary practice management systems (VPMS), and expanding these integrations is a clear priority as we deepen our focus on the veterinary sector. Across our broader healthcare offering, we support 100+ PMS integrations. Speak to our team about your specific VPMS and we can confirm current integration status and what’s in the pipeline.

  • Is Tyro Health EFTPOS available for mobile or multi-site vet clinics?

    Yes. The Pro devices are well-suited to mobile vets and multi-site clinics thanks to its compact form factor and flexible connectivity. For multi-site clinics, each device is managed through the Tyro Merchant Portal, giving you centralised visibility across all machines and locations. Speak to our team about the right setup for your specific situation.

  • Does Tyro Health offer dedicated support for veterinary clinics?

    Yes. Tyro Health has an Australian-based support team available Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm AEST. Our team understands healthcare payment workflows, including the nuances of veterinary environments, so you’re not explaining your business from scratch every time you call. For urgent issues outside business hours, our online Help Centre provides step-by-step guides and troubleshooting resources.

  • What is Least Cost Routing and how does it reduce my clinic’s payment costs?

    When a client taps a debit card, the transaction can be routed through different payment networks: eftpos (0.5%) or Visa/Mastercard (1.1%). Tap & Save δ automatically directs eligible transactions through the lowest-cost network available, without any action required from your front desk team. For a busy veterinary clinic processing a high volume of tap payments, this can deliver meaningful savings over time.
