πŸ’³ How to Pay for Your Shipments or Settle Your TUNL Account

To keep shipments moving smoothly πŸš€, TUNL requires upfront payment for all bookings.


This article explains how payments work, where to pay, and the different options available depending on your plan.



πŸ” Payment Basics (What You Need to Know)


  • πŸ’Έ Upfront payment is required for all shipments
  • πŸ’³ You’ll be prompted to add a credit or debit card during onboarding
  • 🧾 TUNL Pro **merchants can apply for **extended payment terms (up to 30 days)


πŸ”’ TUNL does not store your card details β€” all payments are processed securely by our payment provider



πŸ“¦ Option 1: Pay As You Book


This is the default under our FREE plan


This is the quickest and easiest way to pay.


How it works:

  • Book your shipment as usual
  • Click β€œPay Now” on the right-hand side of your screen
  • A secure payment window will open for you to complete payment πŸ’Έ.


‼️ NB: your documents will only unlock once you’ve made payment


You can also save a card under: Settings β†’ Account


When a card is added:

  • Your card is automatically charged when a shipment is booked
  • No manual payments
  • No delays


Payments are reflected immediately in the TUNL app



🧭 Option 2: Pay From Your Dashboard (Invoices)


If you prefer paying invoices directly, you can manage everything from your dashboard.


How to pay an invoice:

  1. Go to Settings β†’ Account
  2. Scroll to the bottom to view your invoices
  3. Click β€œPay Now” next to any unpaid invoice


*πŸ’‘ Payments made via the dashboard reflect immediately, and will give you immediate access to your shipping documents*



πŸ“ Option 3: Batch Pay From Your Statement


Available on our PRO plan


This option is available on our TUNL Pro plan and is ideal if you prefer batch payments via EFT.


How it works:

  • Go to Settings β†’ Account β†’ Billing β†’ Open Statement


Your statement shows the total amount due across all shipmen


Statement schedule:

πŸ“… Statements are issued on the 10th and 25th of each month




🏦 EFT Banking Details (For Statement Payments)


These details appear on every invoice, but here they are for convenience:

  • Account Name: TUNL (Pty) Ltd
  • Bank: FNB
  • Account Type: Current Account
  • Account Number: 62873173472
  • Branch Code: 255355
  • SWIFT Code: FIRNZAJJ

⏳ Please note: EFT payments can only be allocated once they reflect in our bank account, which may take 2–3 business days.
