A quick top-up is a one-off manual top-up: you enter an amount, confirm the fees, and the funds are added to your wallet immediately.

Doing a quick top-up

  1. On the Wallet settings, find the Quick Top-Up card near the top of the page.
  2. Click one of the preset amount buttons, or type a custom amount in the input field (for example, 25).
  3. Review the breakdown shown below the amount: Net Top-Up, GST and card surcharge.
  4. If you have more than one saved card, click the card dropdown and select the card to use.
  5. Click Confirm.
  6. Wait for the confirmation message — the new balance updates on the Wallet settings.

Once confirmed, the funds are added to your wallet and a receipt and a paid invoice are generated against your linked organisation.

Understanding fees and taxes

The total charge is higher than the amount added to your wallet. The difference covers:

  • Card processing fees — charged by the payment provider (Stripe).
  • GST — or other applicable tax.

These amounts are calculated live as you enter a top-up amount. The preview updates as you change the value, so you can see the total charge before confirming.

For example, a $25 top-up may result in a total charge of approximately $28.27 once GST and card processing fees are included.

Receipts and invoices

Every top-up creates a receipt and a paid invoice on the linked organisation:

  • The receipt records the payment itself — the amount paid and the date.
  • The invoice shows the breakdown of fees, tax and the net top-up amount.

To download an invoice:

  1. Scroll to the Detailed Activity table on the Wallet settings.
  2. Find the top-up row you want.
  3. Click View Invoice on that row.
  4. The invoice opens as a PDF, which you can save or print.

If you enabled email receipts on auto top-up, a copy of every receipt is also sent to the nominated email address. See Auto top-up for details.

Refunds

Refunds are not handled directly through the wallet. Contact SwiftFox Support if you need a top-up refunded.
