The partnership between ZSL and UK-based payments provider SumUp is a three-month trial which will see specially designed donation points installed at four locations across ZSL London Zoo, and three points soon to be available at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo, will allow visitors to donate via contactless payment, Apple Pay, or Google Pay – in order to ‘feed’ their favourite species.
