How New Zealand businesses sell with gocushy
Each one is followed through a worked example — the price, the GST split to the cent, and the invoice it produces. They are worked examples rather than customer stories: we are new in New Zealand, and we would rather show you the mechanics than invent testimonials.
The course creator
A NZ$497 course sold to a buyer in Hamilton carries NZ$64.83 of GST inside the price — the invoice reads NZ$432.17 + GST, sequentially numbered, with your GST number on it. The same course bought from Sydney is a zero-rated export, and the order keeps the buyer-stated country and device IP that prove it later.

The tradie who teaches
Trade coaches sell to GST-registered businesses, and those buyers claim the GST back — so the invoice is part of the product. NZ$1,200 splits as NZ$1,043.48 + NZ$156.52 GST, and above NZ$1,000 the invoice also identifies the buyer, which the checkout captured at the moment of sale. A NZ$180 template pack rides along as a one-tick order bump.

The coach
A NZ$1,800 coaching package crosses the NZ$1,000 line where taxable supply information must identify the buyer — name plus one identifier, already captured at checkout. Overseas clients are zero-rated with the evidence kept, and a NZ$300 monthly retainer bills itself: NZ$260.87 + NZ$39.13 GST on every invoice, every month.

The consultant
A NZ$2,500 project milestone, sent as a checkout link where the PDF invoice and the bank-transfer chase used to go. The client pays by card, the money settles in your own account, and the invoice reads NZ$2,173.91 + NZ$326.09 GST with the client’s name on it — the sale is over NZ$1,000, so it has to. The Melbourne client is zero-rated, with the evidence kept.

The accountant in practice
The professional who reads invoices for a living can also send better ones. A NZ$350 fixed-fee GST review sells through a checkout instead of an email thread — NZ$304.35 + NZ$45.65 GST, sequentially numbered, nothing to correct by hand. And no, this does not replace Xero: gocushy sits in front of the ledger, not instead of it, and every sale flows through.

The template seller
Under the NZ$60,000 threshold and not GST registered, a NZ$29 template pack sells at NZ$29 flat — there is no GST to charge, and charging it anyway is the worse mistake. Registered, the same page splits it NZ$25.22 + NZ$3.78 without you touching anything. The download link lands on the receipt the moment payment does.

The membership
A membership saves the card once, but every month is a new sale: a new charge, a new sequentially numbered tax invoice reading NZ$42.61 + NZ$6.39 GST, and dunning that retries a failed card and emails the member instead of quietly losing them. Your accountant gets a clean row for every rebill, not a lump.

The workshop runner
The example from our homepage: “Set up a checkout for my NZ$180 workshop.” Said to Claude or ChatGPT, that sentence comes back as a live checkout — NZ$156.52 + NZ$23.48 GST for local attendees, zero-rated for the one dialling in from Sydney, every invoice carrying your GST number. gocushy is MCP-native: the agent uses the same interface a person does.
