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.

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.

Questions

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

Can guests pay after reception closes?

Yes, if the supplies are available and guests have internet access at the collection point. Display prices and collection instructions beside the code.

Does the wood store need Wi-Fi?

The printed code needs no power or connection. Guests need mobile data or Wi-Fi to complete checkout, so test the signal beside the goods.

Can I take payments for different extras?

Yes. Set clear prices for your supplies or use a customer-entered amount. Keep the sign consistent with the payment page.

When does the money reach my bank?

A completed customer payment is recorded separately from a bank payout. Stripe sends available funds according to the payout schedule; bank arrival times can vary.

Can guests still pay cash?

Yes. Keep your cash payment arrangements beside the code. The QR code is another way to pay.
