Sunrise Nursery switched their payments to GreenPay. Now every transaction backs nature.
Sunrise Nursery has been helping Helensburgh locals plant, grow and cultivate for decades. It is a boutique nursery an hour south of Sydney, with qualified horticulturalists, a huge range of plants and plant care essentials, plus a café for the post-potting coffee and cake.
Like most garden centres, Sunrise’s day is made up of hundreds of small moments. A punnet of seedlings. A new pot for a kitchen herb garden. A flat white after browsing cacti and succulents.
Those moments are already good for people and gardens. Owner Sandy wanted them to be good for nature too.
The problem: paying fees to a bank never felt aligned
Garden centres are in the business of care.
They help people grow things.
They share knowledge.
They encourage long-term thinking.
So when it came to payments, Sandy did not love the idea that a slice of every transaction was simply disappearing into a bank.
At the same time, Sunrise needed everything to keep running smoothly:
a reliable in-store setup
a low cost solution
a straightforward experience for staff
The switch: off a bank, onto GreenPay
Sunrise Nursery switched their payment processing to GreenPay, the Australian-owned payments company that puts nature at the centre of every transaction.
Our model is simple:
We offer world-class payments tech.
We donate 50% of our profits to protect and restore nature.
Businesses do not need to change their operations to create impact.
“We spend our days helping people grow healthier gardens. Switching to GreenPay meant our everyday payments could support the environment too, without making life harder for our team.”
The solution: POS-integrated payments for retail, plus an all-in-one device for the café
Sunrise’s setup needed to work across two distinct environments.
1) Nursery retail: integrated to Tower POS
For the nursery floor, we integrated GreenPay payments with Sandy’s existing Tower POS setup.
That meant:
the same smooth checkout experience
less double-handling for staff
a payments system that supports the mission, not the banks
2) Sunrise Café: Clover Flex for all-in-one POS + payments
For the café, we provided a Clover Flex device so payments and POS could live in one place.
Previously, the café was using a standalone EFTPOS device.
Now the team has:
an all-in-one payments + POS workflow
a device built for hospitality pace
“The café side used to feel a bit piecemeal. Having Clover Flex as an all-in-one device has made service easier, especially when it’s busy.”
Why it matters: garden centres already care. This is just a cleaner way to show it.
If you run a garden centre or nursery, you are already on the front line of people’s relationship with the natural world.
You see it every day:
customers choosing natives
people learning how to compost
families building their first veggie patch together
Switching payment providers is not the most glamorous sustainability lever.
But it is one of the simplest.
Because it turns something you already do, every single day, into a steady source of funding for nature.
