   We are currently experiencing intermittent disruptions with some eftpos payment processing at point of sale. As a workaround, we recommend customers use a non-eftpos card such as a Visa, Mastercard or Amex. Your ability to accept payments is our top priority and our Engineering team is working rapidly to resolve this issue. We appreciate your patience during this disruption.
