Fat Zebra + Shuttle

Fat Zebra is an Australian payment gateway powering over 100,000 merchants with fast, secure digital payment acceptance. The platform provides a single API for connecting to global payment options, with built-in fraud protection, card tokenisation, network tokenisation, and 3D Secure 2.0 authentication. Fat Zebra supports all major card schemes and domestic eftpos processing, with plugins for popular ecommerce platforms and real-time transaction reporting.

Shuttle integrates with Fat Zebra to give platforms serving the Australian and New Zealand markets access to local payment processing with competitive domestic interchange rates. Through Shuttle’s Voice Checkout, businesses can accept card payments over phone and IVR channels that process through Fat Zebra in a PCI-compliant manner. Payment Links generated through Shuttle can route to Fat Zebra’s hosted checkout, and embedded payment flows utilise Fat Zebra’s tokenisation and 3DS2 capabilities for secure online transactions.

For platforms with merchants in Australia and New Zealand, connecting Fat Zebra through Shuttle provides access to local acquiring with eftpos support — which typically offers lower fees than international card scheme transactions. Shuttle’s multi-PSP architecture allows platforms to route Australian transactions through Fat Zebra while using other connected processors for merchants in different regions, optimising both cost and authorization rates based on geography.
