Private beta · built in Aotearoa New Zealand

Snap the receipt. It’s in Xero — coded, done.

Snaffle reads every receipt and supplier invoice, codes it the way your bookkeeper would, and files it straight to Xero. And it warns you before you pay a supplier’s bank account that’s changed — so a fake invoice never gets paid. Built for the small businesses Hubdoc never quite figured out.

Start your 30-day free trial

No card needed · about two minutes to your first receipt in Xero.

In 2026 we use a digital wallet, print a receipt to make it digital again. Snaffle is the bit in the middle.

The problem

Receipts tools don't tag jobs or businesses properly.

If you run a trade, an agency, a charter, a photography business — every receipt is a job cost, but Hubdoc and Dext don't really do project assignment. So either your bookkeeper guesses, or you manually tag every receipt in Xero. Either way: hours per month, and the job-costing data ends up wrong.

If you run more than one business — tourism group, hospo group, holdco + ops co — it gets worse. Hubdoc is one-Xero-per-account so it can't even handle it. Dext charges per entity. The default ends up being WhatsApp photos to the bookkeeper.

And underneath both: most EFTPOS receipts arrive without GST numbers or itemised descriptions, making them non-compliant under NZ's TSI rules. The bookkeeper chases the supplier or eats the cost.

How it works

Three taps. That's it.

Staff don't need training. They don't need accounts. They don't need to know what an account code is. They snap a photo and tap which business it's for.

01 — TAP

Open. Tap a business.

Big tiles per entity. Each staff member sees only what they're permitted to. No menus, no logging in.

Even faster

Three taps is the slow path.

For power users, Snaffle plugs into iOS so you skip the home screen entirely. Pay with Wallet however you normally do — then trigger Snaffle from a widget, the Action Button, or your voice. Camera opens, snap, done.

v1

"Hey Siri, capture for Joinery"

Voice command opens Snaffle straight to the camera with the right entity already tagged. Works from a locked phone, mid-fuel-stop, hands wet, gloves on.

v1

Lock Screen tiles per entity

One tap from a locked phone to the camera tagged to that entity. The Snaffle home screen, embedded in iOS itself.

v1

Action Button (iPhone 15 Pro+)

Hold the side button → Snaffle Quick Capture fires → camera opens. Two physical actions from a Wallet payment to a captured receipt.

The destination is fast, low-friction capture. Not "Snaffle owns the payment."
For the bookkeeper

Snap the invoice. Skip the typing.

Receipts is the staff job. Bills are the bookkeeper's job — and right now it's all manual transcription. Bank account, reference, due date, GST, amount, line items. For 30+ invoices a month. Every keystroke is a place for an error.

Snaffle reads the invoice, creates a draft Bill in Xero with every field pre-populated. Bookkeeper opens Xero, verifies, clicks approve. Goes from typing 8 fields to verifying 8 fields. 5-10x faster, with the human still accountable for the bank account.

Bonus: when the same supplier sends an invoice with a different bank account next time — Snaffle flags it. Invoice fraud via spoofed bank details is a growing attack on NZ small business. We catch it.

Why now

Four things converged in NZ in 36 months.

This product wasn't possible at all 4 years ago. The compliance rules, the AI capability, the card infrastructure, and the open banking rails — none of them existed in usable form. They all arrived inside a single window. We're 12 months into that window.

APR 2023
TSI rules replaced tax invoices
IRD blessed Peppol eInvoicing as compliant. The compliance landscape became automatable.
NOV 2024
Tap to Pay on iPhone launched in NZ
Adyen, ANZ, Stripe, Windcave, Worldline went live. Phone-as-terminal is real here. Square hasn't capitalised yet.
DEC 2025
NZ open banking regulated
Payap, Worldline Direct Pay, Hnry/Volley rolled out QR payments at ~35¢ flat vs 2% card fees. May 2026 surcharge ban makes the gap structural.
2025+
AI extraction got good enough
Two years ago, OCR couldn't read crumpled petrol receipts reliably. Claude can. Consumer-grade cost, production-grade accuracy.
Compliance, card rails, open banking, AI — they all just arrived. It's why Snaffle can finally do what the old receipt apps couldn't: get every receipt into the right Xero, coded and done, without you lifting a finger.
Where it's heading

We don't stop at receipts.

The goal is simple: take more of the admin — and more of the cost — off your plate.

01

Strip the analogue.

No paper receipts. No printed invoices. No re-typing what's already digital. Every receipt in NZ should arrive in the right Xero, in the right project, with the right code, the moment the payment happens.

02

Strip the fees.

Card fees and surcharges quietly eat your margin on every sale. We're building bank-to-bank payments so you keep more of what you earn — and your customers lose the surcharge they hate. You get paid, and the digital receipt files itself.

03

Strip the friction.

Three taps to capture. One tap to pay. Zero taps to reconcile. The phone is the terminal, the wallet, the receipt book, the project tracker, and the bookkeeper's inbox — all at once. Same app for the staff member, the owner, the bookkeeper.

v1 — receipts v2 — compliance v3 — payments v4 — your back office, sorted

Each step does more of your admin and saves you more money — receipts today, valid GST tomorrow, lower-cost payments after that. One app, doing more for your business over time.

"In 2026 we use a digital wallet, print a receipt to make it digital again." — That's the gap. Snaffle closes it.

The arc

It starts with receipts. It won't stop there.

Snaffle earns its place as your daily receipts-and-invoices app first. Then it keeps taking more of the busywork — and the costs — off your hands.

v1 — NOW
Shipping

Platform

Stock, migrations, and more — the everyday admin of running a small business, handled.

Who's building this

Built by the person who has the problem.

Snaffle is built by an owner-operator who lives this problem every day — several businesses sharing one team, three Xero organisations, and years of month-end where receipts showed up as a pile of WhatsApp photos.

After years of that pain across the entities — and a failed attempt to make Hubdoc cope with more than one Xero — Snaffle started as the tool he built for himself. It's now opening up to other owner-operators with exactly the same problem.

Customer-led. Lives in the problem daily across three Xeros.
Technical. Has shipped real production software before. Snaffle is built, not outsourced.
Proven daily. Rotorua Rafting and Rotorua Ziplines run on Snaffle every day — it earns its keep before anyone else touches it.

Tap "Let's go" to start.
