Your own app, linked to the card machine on your counter
Zeal builds a white label app and website in your brand — ordering, delivery, appointment booking and loyalty — connected to the payment terminal already in your shop, so a customer who buys in person and a customer who orders on their phone are the same customer.
Print your own branded receipt
Type a company name (payment provider or merchant, either works), then keep scrolling. The card machine does the rest: your name on the screen, your receipt out of the printer, and your customer's loyalty balance already on it.

One brand, in the shop and on the phone
Most delivery and booking platforms put their brand between you and your customer, keep the customer data, and charge you for the privilege. A white-label app is yours: your name on the icon, your customers in your list, your pricing.
What the app does
Ordering for delivery or collection, appointment and table booking, offers and push messages, and a loyalty scheme that runs across all of it. You choose which parts you switch on.
Connected to the terminal, not bolted beside it
The app is linked to the Zeal software on your payment terminal, so a purchase at the counter and a purchase in the app land in the same customer record and count towards the same loyalty balance.
Ordering your white-label app
Building an app from scratch is a six-figure project that most independent businesses correctly decide against. Renting space on someone else's marketplace is cheaper and costs you the customer relationship instead. This is the third option.
You tell us what your business does and which parts you need — ordering, delivery, collection, bookings, loyalty, or all of them. We configure the app and website around that rather than handing you a template with features you will never switch on.
You supply the brand: name, logo, colours, photography, menu or service list. We handle the build, the app store submissions and the connection to the terminal already on your counter. Your app can be ready in as little as four weeks.
From launch day the app can take payments and the loyalty scheme is live in both places at once. A customer who joins at the till appears in the app; a customer who orders on their phone is recognised when they next walk in.
The customer list stays yours. That is the part that matters in three years' time, when the app has paid for itself and you are deciding what to do next with a few thousand people who have chosen to install your brand on their phone.
Ordering, delivery and collection
Customers browse your menu or catalogue, order for delivery or collection, and pay in the app. Orders arrive in your own dashboard rather than on a third-party tablet, and the commission structure is yours to set.
For food and drink businesses this is usually the fastest part to pay for itself, because every order that moves off a marketplace and into your own app keeps the margin that was going to the marketplace.
Appointments and bookings
Customers book a slot, choose a service and a staff member, and get a reminder before they arrive. Salons, barbershops, clinics and studios run the whole diary from it.
Reminders exist for a reason: a no-show is a slot that can never be sold again. Because bookings and payment sit in the same app, a deposit or prepayment can be taken at the point the slot is reserved rather than chased afterwards.
Loyalty that carries across both
The same scheme runs on the terminal and in the app. Stamps or points earned at the counter show up on the phone, and a reward earned in the app can be redeemed in person without anyone hunting for a code.
That is the whole reason the app is linked to the terminal rather than sold as a separate product. An app with its own isolated loyalty scheme just gives a regular customer two half-finished cards.
What is a white-label app?
A white-label app is an application built on an existing platform but published entirely under your own brand — your name, your logo, your listing in the app stores — so customers experience it as your app rather than as someone else's product with your logo inside it. You get the speed and cost of a platform with the ownership of a bespoke build.
What an app will not do on its own
It will not find you new customers the way a marketplace does — an app is downloaded by people who already know you, so it is a retention tool before it is an acquisition one. It needs a reason to be opened, which usually means loyalty or a genuinely easier way to order. And it needs your menu, prices and availability kept current; a stale app is worse than none.
White-label app questions
How long does it take to launch?
Your app can be ready in as little as four weeks. The timeline depends mostly on how quickly your brand assets, menu or service list arrive, and on app store review, which is outside anyone's control. We confirm dates at scoping rather than promising them upfront.
Do I have to change my payment provider?
No. Your in-store acceptance stays exactly as it is. What we check is whether your terminal supports the Zeal software, since that is what links the app to what happens at the counter. Tell us the make of your card machine and who acquires for you and we will confirm.
Can the app take payments?
Yes. Orders, deposits and bookings can be paid for in the app from the day it launches. The payment arrangement for in-app transactions is set up during onboarding and is separate from your in-store acquiring.
What do I need to supply?
Your logo, brand colours, photography, and the menu or list of services with prices. If you do not have usable photography we will tell you before it becomes a problem — it is the single thing that most affects how the finished app looks.
Tell us what your business does, which parts you want and what is on your counter today. We will come back with what your app would include and what it would cost.

Revenue share or annual licence
One integration, two commercial models. Partner on revenue share, where Zeal goes to market inside your merchant proposition and we share the value-added services revenue it creates. Or license annually, a fixed yearly fee that activates Zeal across the MIDs you nominate, with predictable costs from day one.
