SMS Acquisition	'
	1.  SMS Acquisition
	On February 11, 2014, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, SpendSmart Networks, Inc., f/k/a The SpendSmart Payments Company, a California corporation (the “Subsidiary”), acquired substantially all of the assets of Intellectual Capital Management, Inc., d/b/a SMS Masterminds (“SMS”) a Nevada corporation, including but not limited to certain intellectual property and accounts receivable, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”).
	Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of SMS. In consideration of the purchased assets, the Company agreed to issue to SMS five million two hundred and fifty thousand shares of the Company's common stock and a cash payment of $1.4 million, of which $400,000 has been deferred and will be paid over the next several fiscal quarters. The Company paid $100,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to the sellers related to this deferment. Subsequent to June 30, 2014, the Company paid $270,000 of the remaining $300,000 deferred payment (Note 13.).
	The Company also agreed to pay the sellers an earn-out payment relating to fifteen percent of the earnings generated by the SMS after the acquisition and an additional earn-out payment tied to the EBITDA of the Company after the acquisition of SMS, of up to $2,000,000 in aggregate.
	The preliminary fair value assigned to the total consideration is as follows:
	Consideration Paid
	Cash Paid and to be paid - to sellers, net of acquisition costs	$                                                              1,400,000
	5,250,000 Common Stock issued to SMS	3,313,598
	Estimated earn-out payment	846,885
	Total Consideration Paid	$                                                           5,560,483
	The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method required by Topic 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, goodwill has been measured as the excess of the total consideration including the fair value of any non-controlling interest on acquisition date over the amounts assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
	On the acquisition date, the fair value of net assets acquired was $5,560,483. The fair value of stock issued to the seller as part of the consideration was based on reference to quoted market values of SSPC stock as of the date of acquisition. The preliminary allocation of the total consideration to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition is as follows:
	Accounts receivable, net		$	318,708
	Identifiable intangible assets			3,346,800
	Goodwill			2,593,562
	Total assets			6,259,070
	Accounts payable and accrued expenses			222,268
	Deferred Revenue			249,797
	Long-term liabilities (SBA loan)			226,522
	Total liabilities			698,587
	Net assets acquired		$	5,560,483
	Fair valuation methods used for the identifiable net assets acquired in that acquisition make use of projected and discounted cash flows using company specific interest rates. IP/Technology, Customer Base, and Trademarks are being amortized over ten years using the straight-line method. Amortization expense and accumulated amortization related to intangible assets totaled $83,667 and $125,501 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. Amortization expense related to intangible assets will be $209,169 for the year ended September 30, 2014, $334,670 for each of the years ended September 30, 2015 through 2023, and $125,502 in the year ended September 30, 2024.

The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the interim periods are reflected herein. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.
	Effective as of June 20, 2014, after the approval by a majority of holders of the voting securities of the Company, the Company and The SpendSmart Payments Company, a Delaware corporation, entered into a Plan of Conversion (the “Plan of Conversion”) whereby the Company converted its state of domiciliation from Colorado to Delaware (the “Re-Domiciliation”).

Liquidity and Going Concern	'
	3.  Liquidity and Going Concern
	For the year ended September 30, 2013, our audited consolidated financial statements included an opinion containing an explanatory paragraph as to the uncertainty of our Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally, we have incurred net losses through June 30, 2014 and have yet to establish profitable operations and cash flows from operations. These factors among others raised a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 do not contain any adjustments for this uncertainty. In response to our Company's cash needs, in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 we raised approximately $500,000 in net cash through the issuance of two 7% Convertible Promissory Notes. Warrants to purchase an aggregate 200,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.25 per share were also issued with these investments. In the second quarter of fiscal 2014 we raised $10,472,003 in additional cash through the issuance of 4,072,426 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock. All amounts raised will be used to fund our investing and operating cash flow needs.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	4.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, fair value of financial instruments, at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
	Fair Value Option
	The Company elected the fair value option for its $500,000 7% Convertible Promissory Note (“Promissory Note”) as this option better represents the economics and the fair value of this instrument. The decision to elect the fair value option, which is irrevocable once elected, is determined on an instrument by instrument basis and applied to an entire instrument. The net gains or losses on Promissory Note for which the fair value option has been elected are recognized in change in fair value of financial instruments, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. On February 11, 2014, the holders of the Promissory Notes converted their holdings, including $9,973 of accrued interest into 226,655 shares of Series C Preferred in accordance with the terms of the original agreement.
	Litigation
	From time to time and in the course of business, we may become involved in various legal proceedings seeking monetary damages and other relief. The amount of any ultimate liability from such claims cannot be determined. However, except as otherwise disclosed herein, there are no legal claims currently pending or threatened against us that in the opinion of our management would be likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Our Company was involved in an arbitration with our previous processor but we have since agreed to a settlement of such arbitration. The agreed upon settlement amount had been accrued at December 31, 2013 and was paid on February 13, 2014.
	Goodwill
	The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets under ASC 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”).
	ASC 350 eliminates the amortization of goodwill and certain other intangible assets and requires an evaluation of impairment by assessing qualitative factors, and if necessary, applying a fair-value based test. The goodwill impairment test requires qualitative analysis to determine whether is it more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, including goodwill. An indication of impairment through analysis of these qualitative factors initiates a two-step process, which requires management to make judgments in determining what assumptions to use in the calculation. The first step of the process consists of estimating the fair value of the Company's reporting units based on discounted cash flow models using revenue and profit forecasts and comparing the estimated fair values with the carrying values of the Company's reporting units which include the goodwill. If the estimated fair values are less than the carrying values, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment by determining an “implied fair value” of goodwill. The determination of the Company's “implied fair value” requires the Company to allocate the estimated fair value to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Any unallocated fair value represents the “implied fair value” of goodwill, which is compared to the corresponding carrying value. The Company will test goodwill impairment at our fiscal year end.
	Intangible assets
	Intangible assets consist of intellectual property/technology, customer lists, and trade-name/marks acquired in business combinations under the purchase method of accounting are recorded at fair value net of accumulated amortization since the acquisition date. Amortization is calculated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives at the following annual rates:
		Useful
		Lives
	IP/technology		10
	Customer lists		10
	Trade-name/marks		10
	The Company reviews its finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of finite-lived intangible asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of a finite-lived intangible asset is measured by a comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, which is determined based on discounted cash flows.
	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered.. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets and results of operations.
	The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2017 and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized at the date of initial application.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets and results of operations.

	During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, we issued 0 and 40,628 shares of our common stock, and during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013, we issued 4,000 and 11,167 shares of our common stock to a board member, a contractor and two vendors in exchange for programming services and other services performed. In connection with these issuances of shares, we recognized expenses of $0 and $72,000 during the respective 2014 periods and $24,000 and $67,000 during the respective 2013 periods.
	During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, we entered into subscription agreements with accredited investors pursuant to which we issued 0 and 4,072,426 shares of our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 0 and 16,289,704 shares of our common stock, exercisable during the five-year period commencing on the date of issuance at $1.10 per share (the “Warrants”).
	This offering resulted in net proceeds to us of approximately $10,472,003. Maxim Group LLC, a FINRA registered broker-dealer, in connection with the financing received a cash fee totaling $1,221,719 and received warrants to purchase up to 1,628,971 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.265 per share as compensation (1,221,727 were issued as of 5/6/14 and 407,244 had been issued at 3/31/14). The Series C Preferred Stock and the Warrants were offered and sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

	6.  Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments
	The Company accounts for certain of our outstanding warrants issued in fiscal 2010 and 2012 (“2010 Warrants” and “2012 Warrants”) as derivative liabilities.
	Based on the guidance in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity”, ASC 815 “Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity” and ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” with regard to 2010 Warrants and 2012 Warrants, management concluded these instruments are required to be accounted for as derivatives due to a ratchet down protection feature. Under ASC 815, the Company records the fair value of these warrants (derivatives) on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, at fair value, with changes in the values reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as “Change in fair value of instruments”. Under “Derivative liabilities – warrants”, the 2010 Warrants and 2012 warrants derivative liabilities balance was $93,042 and $57,784 as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
	ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and require significant judgment or estimation, pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques. ASC 820 further requires that each asset and liability measured at fair value be classified as Level 1, 2, or 3 in its entirety. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. At June 30, 2014 all of the Company's derivative liabilities and earn-out liabilities were classified as Level 3.
	Level 3 Valuation Techniques
	Determining fair value of warrants, given the Company's stage of development and financial position, is highly subjective and identifying appropriate measurement criteria and models is subject to uncertainty. The Company valued the embedded derivative
	component using a lattice model. This model incorporates transaction details such as the Company's stock price, contractual terms, maturity, market interest rates, as well as assumptions about future financings, volatility, and holder behavior as of the date of issuance and each balance sheet date.
	The 2010 Warrants and 2012 Warrants contain reset provisions. The fair value of the warrants issued by the Company in connection with these transactions has been estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation under the following assumptions:
			June 30, 2014
	Share Price		$	1.38
	Strike Price		$	0.75
	Risk-free Rate			0.11	%
	Volatility (Annual)			66	%
	Number of Assumed Financings			0
	Total Warrants Outstanding			25,738,221
	Total Common Shares Outstanding			16,205,252
	Time To Maturity (Years)			1.12 to 1.4
	The foregoing inputs into the 2010 Warrants, 2012 Warrants and Promissory Notes are reviewed quarterly and are subject to change based primarily on Management's assessment of the probability of the events described occurring. Accordingly, changes to these assessments could materially affect the valuations.
	The fair value of the Earn-Out Liability has been estimated using assumptions based on our updated operating forecasts for the Company as well as discounted interest rate methodologies.
	Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
	Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below and disclosed on the balance sheet under Derivative liabilities – Warrants and Earn-Out Liability:
	30-Sep-13

	7.  Convertible Promissory Notes
	On October 25, 2013 and November 4, 2013, the Company closed a private placement of 10 Units to a total of 2 investors, each Unit consisting of (i) a 13-month $50,000 principal amount promissory note (“Promissory Note”) bearing an annual interest rate of 7%, convertible at the holders' option to common stock at the rate of $1.25 per share and (ii) a four-year callable Warrant (the "Promissory Note Warrants"), to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock. The Company received gross proceeds of $500,000.
	The Promissory Notes are also contingently mandatorily convertible at a conversion price that is the lesser of i) 25% discount to the effective price sold in the consummation of an equity, or convertible debt financing in one or more series of transactions with aggregate gross proceeds of at least $3,000,000 or ii) $1.25 per share of common stock.
	The Company, upon five-day notice to holders of outstanding Promissory Note Warrants, has the right, subject to limitations, to call all or any portion of the Warrants then outstanding if (i) the VWAP for each of ten (10) consecutive trading days equals or exceeds $4.50 per share and (ii) has a minimum trading volume of 50,000 shares per day over the same period. These warrants were valued at $118,000 in aggregate and were classified as equity instruments. The Company elected the fair value option for the notes payable as this option better represents the economics and fair value of notes payable. The decision to elect the fair value option, which is irrevocable once elected, is determined on an instrument by instrument basis and applied to an entire instrument. The Company recognized a $245,856 net change in fair value of financial instruments on the condensed consolidated statements of operations from October 25, 2013 through February 11, 2014. On February 11, 2014, the holders of the Promissory Notes converted their holdings into 226,655 shares of Series C Preferred Stock.

	On January 8, 2013, our Board of Directors approved the adoption of the SpendSmart Payments Company 2013 Equity Incentive Plan
	(the “2013 Plan”). The 2013 Plan was approved by the Company's shareholders on February 15, 2013. On April 21, 2014, our Board of Directors approved an amendment to our 2013 Plan to increase the total number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to stock awards under the 2013 Plan from 3,000,000 to 10,000,000 shares of common stock. On June 16, 2014, the 2013 Plan was amended by a vote of the Company's stockholders to increase the total number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to stock awards under the 2013 Plan from 3,000,000 to 10,000,000 shares of common stock. The 2013 Plan provides for granting of stock-based awards including: incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock bonuses and rights to acquire restricted stock. On August 4, 2011, our Board of Directors approved the adoption of the SpendSmart Payments Company 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). The 2011 Plan provides for granting of stock-based awards including: incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock bonuses and rights to acquire restricted stock. The total number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to stock awards under the Plan shall not exceed in the aggregate 1,666,667 shares of the common stock of our Company.

All of the options have terms of five years with expiration dates ranging from July 2016 to June 2019.
	Stock Option Plans
	The Company's stock option plans are administered by the Board of Directors, which determines the terms and conditions of the options granted, including exercise price, number of options granted and vesting period of such options.

	Stock-based Compensation
	During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, we recognized stock-based compensation expense totaling $884,310 and $4,361,251 in connection with the issuance of stock options and warrants issued to employees, directors, advisors and consultants (not including shares of stock issued directly for services). For purposes of accounting for stock-based compensation, the fair value of each award is estimated on the date of grant (or performance of the contracted services as appropriate) using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were utilized for the calculations of newly issued options and warrants during the nine months ended June 30, 2014:
	Expected life (in years)			4.14 years
	Weighted average volatility			89.28	%
	Forfeiture rate			11.34	%
	Risk-free interest rate			1.37	%
	Expected dividend rate			0	%
	At June 30, 2014, the weighted average exercise price of vested options and warrants outstanding (issued in connection with stock-based compensation) was $5.13 per share while the corresponding weighted average remaining contractual period was approximately 38.5 months. As of June 30, 2014, $2,813,245 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock-based compensation is expected to be recognized through June 2018.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, fair value of financial instruments, at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Fair Value Option	'
	Fair Value Option
	The Company elected the fair value option for its $500,000 7% Convertible Promissory Note (“Promissory Note”) as this option better represents the economics and the fair value of this instrument. The decision to elect the fair value option, which is irrevocable once elected, is determined on an instrument by instrument basis and applied to an entire instrument. The net gains or losses on Promissory Note for which the fair value option has been elected are recognized in change in fair value of financial instruments, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. On February 11, 2014, the holders of the Promissory Notes converted their holdings, including $9,973 of accrued interest into 226,655 shares of Series C Preferred in accordance with the terms of the original agreement.
Litigation	'
	Litigation
	From time to time and in the course of business, we may become involved in various legal proceedings seeking monetary damages and other relief. The amount of any ultimate liability from such claims cannot be determined. However, except as otherwise disclosed herein, there are no legal claims currently pending or threatened against us that in the opinion of our management would be likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Our Company was involved in an arbitration with our previous processor but we have since agreed to a settlement of such arbitration. The agreed upon settlement amount had been accrued at December 31, 2013 and was paid on February 13, 2014.
Goodwill	'
	Goodwill
	The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets under ASC 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”).
	ASC 350 eliminates the amortization of goodwill and certain other intangible assets and requires an evaluation of impairment by assessing qualitative factors, and if necessary, applying a fair-value based test. The goodwill impairment test requires qualitative analysis to determine whether is it more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, including goodwill. An indication of impairment through analysis of these qualitative factors initiates a two-step process, which requires management to make judgments in determining what assumptions to use in the calculation. The first step of the process consists of estimating the fair value of the Company's reporting units based on discounted cash flow models using revenue and profit forecasts and comparing the estimated fair values with the carrying values of the Company's reporting units which include the goodwill. If the estimated fair values are less than the carrying values, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment by determining an “implied fair value” of goodwill. The determination of the Company's “implied fair value” requires the Company to allocate the estimated fair value to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Any unallocated fair value represents the “implied fair value” of goodwill, which is compared to the corresponding carrying value. The Company will test goodwill impairment at our fiscal year end.
Intangible assets	'
	Intangible assets
	Intangible assets consist of intellectual property/technology, customer lists, and trade-name/marks acquired in business combinations under the purchase method of accounting are recorded at fair value net of accumulated amortization since the acquisition date. Amortization is calculated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives at the following annual rates:
		Useful
		Lives
	IP/technology		10
	Customer lists		10
	Trade-name/marks		10
	The Company reviews its finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of finite-lived intangible asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of a finite-lived intangible asset is measured by a comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, which is determined based on discounted cash flows.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered.. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets and results of operations.
	The FASB has issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2017 and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized at the date of initial application.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets and results of operations.
