Help

How can we help?

Answers to the questions we hear most. Can't find yours? A real person in Hamilton is a phone call away.

Getting started

How do I sign up?

Go to Get started and pick your kind of business. Enter your name, business name and email, and we send you a 6-digit code to confirm the email is yours. Add your phone number if you like, choose a password, and your shop or website is ready straight away.

The email code hasn't arrived. What now?

Check your junk or spam folder first, then tap to send it again. If it still hasn't come after the second try and you added a phone number, you can have the code sent by text instead. Still stuck? Call us on (07) 855 6689.

How long does setup take?

Most people are selling or sharing their website the same day. Add your trading name, GST number, opening hours and products, and every receipt, quote and invoice uses them immediately.

Can I try CoreHub before I sign up?

Yes. Open the live demo shop and log in with [email protected] and the password corehub-demo. It is shared, so please don't put real customer details in it. You can also try the till right on our home page.

Can you help me move from my old system?

Yes. We can help bring across customers, stock and history where your old system lets us export them. Tell us what you use now on the contact form.

I picked the wrong kind of business. Can I change it?

Yes. Get in touch and we'll switch it for you, or turn on the extra parts you need in Settings.

Signing in

Why am I being asked for a code when I sign in?

When you sign in on a computer, tablet or phone we haven't seen before, we send a 6-digit code to your email, or by text if your account has a phone number. It stops someone who has your password from getting in. Once you have entered the code, that device is remembered for 30 days.

I forgot my password.

Use "Forgot your password?" on the log in page and we'll email you a link to set a new one. Staff should ask the shop owner, who can reset it for them.

How do I add staff?

The owner adds staff in CoreHub under Staff. Each person signs in as themselves, so every sale and job shows who did it. Remove someone's access the day they leave.

Plans and billing

How much does CoreHub cost?

Website is $20 a month, Shop is $25 a month and Shop Plus (with an EFTPOS terminal included) is $65 a month, all plus GST, with no setup fees. See Pricing to compare.

Is there a contract or minimum term?

Not for Website or Shop: change plans or cancel whenever you like, from the end of the current billing period. Shop Plus is a 12-month plan, because your EFTPOS terminal is included.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

You can ask for an export at any time, including after cancelling. We keep your data available for export for at least 30 days after your account is closed.

Do you charge per terminal or per device?

No. Use CoreHub on as many computers, tablets and phones as you like. Plans differ by the number of users and store locations.

Hardware and EFTPOS

What do I need to run CoreHub?

A computer, iPad, Android tablet or phone with an up-to-date web browser and an internet connection. There is nothing to install.

Which EFTPOS terminals work with CoreHub?

CoreHub works with supported New Zealand EFTPOS terminals on the Shop plan (bring your own) and Shop Plus (terminal included). Tell us which terminal you have, or are thinking of getting, and we'll confirm it works before you commit.

Can I print receipts and open a cash drawer?

Yes. Counter receipts print with your own warranty terms and returns policy, and the No sale button opens the drawer and records who did it.

Does it work on an iPad?

Yes. Every screen works on tablets and phones, and the till has big buttons made for touch.

Websites

How do I change my website?

In CoreHub, go to Website and choose Edit my website. Click any part of the page to change the words, colours, buttons and photos, turn sections on or off, move them, or add your own.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. Your website starts at yourname.corehub.co.nz, and you can point a domain you already own at it. Contact us and we'll help you set it up.

Where do quote requests go?

Straight into Quotes in CoreHub, with the customer's details, what they asked for and any photos they added. Price it there and send it back as a link.

How do customers accept a quote?

They open the private link you send, read the quote, and accept it by typing their name, or decline it. If you asked for a deposit and have online payments turned on, they can pay it by card from the same link. An accepted quote becomes the invoice.

Will big photos slow my website down?

No. Photos you upload are turned the right way up and made smaller automatically, usually to a fraction of their size, without looking any different. Videos are best kept short, or added as a YouTube or Vimeo link.

Can I remove photos from my website?

Yes. Remove any picture, including the top-of-page picture, from the Website screen at any time.

Security and privacy

Where is my data kept?

On servers in New Zealand, behind Cloudflare, with regular backups and monitoring. Read more on Security and your data.

Who owns my data?

You do. You and your staff own everything you enter, including customer, sales, stock and repair records. See our Terms and Privacy Policy.

Are job photos private?

Yes. Job photos are kept privately, not on your public website. A customer only sees the photos you choose to show them on their quote, and photos on declined quotes are deleted after 5 days.

I think someone has got into my account.

Change your password straight away and call us on (07) 855 6689 or email [email protected]. We'll help you check what happened and lock it down.

Nothing matches that. Try another word, or ask us.
