The problem

Fewer people carry cash. Your honesty box shouldn't suffer for it.

You've seen it happen. Customers want to pay, but they've got no coins. They walk away or worse, they take what they need and leave nothing. It's the world going cashless.

HonestyBox fixes that with a simple QR code your customers scan to pay by card. No card machine, no app to download, no fuss.

How it works

Three steps. That's it.

Set up your honesty box in minutes. No apps to learn, no forms to fill. Just a QR code and your Stripe account.

Create your box

Sign up, name your box, and set your prices (or let customers choose what to pay). Takes about two minutes.

Display your QR code

Print your QR code and stick it up — or order one of our handcrafted slate plaques for something that lasts.

Questions

Everything you need to know about taking card payments at your stall

Do buyers need an app?

No. Your buyer just opens their phone camera, scans the QR code, and they're straight into the payment screen. No download, no fuss. Works on any smartphone.

Do I need a business account?

You'll need a Stripe account, which takes about five minutes to set up. That's it. No special business registration needed, and you can start taking payments the same day.

What if someone enters the wrong amount?

You see the amount before the payment goes through. If it's wrong, you can ask them to cancel and try again. Simple as that. You're always in control.

Can I use it anywhere?

Anywhere with mobile signal or WiFi. Boot fairs, car parks, markets, fields—wherever you're selling. The QR code works as long as your phone can connect.

Is it safe?

All payments are processed securely by Stripe, one of the world's largest payment processors. Your customers' card details never touch your phone. You're protected, they're protected.
