Customers
go&pay™ enables customers to order goods and services online and then pay offline at any Post Office using cash or Laser card.
If you would like to take advantage of the many online shopping services available but are unable or unwilling to do so, maybe because of security concerns or because you do not have a bank account, credit or Laser card, this section will explain how go&pay™ - enabled websites can give you the opportunity to shop online.
What can go&pay™ do for you?
Greater choice when making purchases online
go&pay™ opens up the world of Internet shopping and services to people previously unwilling or unable to buy online. It also works alongside traditional payment methods such as credit card or Laser card to give you more choice in how you pay.

You don’t need a bank account or give any financial details online to make a purchase using go&pay™.
No charge on purchases as there can be with prepaid cards
It’s completely free for you to use go&pay™ to make your online purchases.
Payment can be made at any of the 1,000 Post Offices nation wide
Post Offices are in the heart of every community, making it easy and convenient to pay while providing the reassurance of a trusted brand.
Personal details are secure and anonymity is preserved
The only personal details you are required to give are a name and shipping address – perfect for anonymous purchases and gifts.
Can be used to budget more effectively
If you prefer to budget with cash go&pay™ can help as it requires no bank account or credit card to use.
How does it work for Customers?
go&pay™ works alongside existing payment methods to give customers greater choice in how they pay. After ordering goods or services online, the customer simply prints a barcoded invoice and pays it at any Post Office using cash or Laser card.
Select items to purchase
As you shop, you add items for purchase to your shopping cart. Once you have finished shopping you proceed to the checkout with your selections.
Select go&pay™ from payment options
At the checkout you are presented with the payment options offered, one of these being go&pay™. You select go&pay™ and enter the requested details. Normally these details are required for shipping purposes only; you do not need to submit any credit/debit card or bank details, as by selecting go&pay™, you will already have opted to pay offline.
Print barcoded invoice
After submitting your details a barcoded invoice is generated. You can review this on screen before printing it off and completing your order. If you have submitted an email address to the online shopping website you are using, you will receive a confirmation email which also contains a link to your invoice.
Pay invoice at any Post Office
Once your barcoded invoice has been printed off, you simply take it to any Post Office and pay using cash or Laser card before the invoice expiry date. Proof of age may also be required for some purchases.
Goods dispatched
A notice confirming that payment has been made will be sent to the Merchant and your goods will be dispatched to your shipping address.
