The problem

People slow down, look, and drive on

A customer stops for eggs, vegetables or a bunch of flowers, but has no cash to hand. A QR code beside your prices gives them a way to pay on their phone. Keep the cash tin for customers with notes and coins.

How it works

Stock the stall. They scan. You get paid.

Create your box, connect Stripe and test the payment page before putting the code beside your produce. Customers pay in their browser, with no app to download.

Set up your stall on HonestyBox

Give your box a name and set prices for your produce, or choose a customer-entered amount. Connect Stripe and complete any checks it requests before you start taking payments.

Display your QR code

Print and protect your code, or order an optional engraved Welsh slate plaque. Put it beside the price list and test checkout where customers will stand.

Get paid

Customers scan and pay on their phones. Check completed payments in your account. Bank payouts go through Stripe according to the payout schedule and fund availability.

Built for how farm stalls actually work

Nobody's on the till, stock changes with the seasons, and half your customers pay from the car window. HonestyBox fits right in.

Take payments while you're busy

Customers pay at the stall while you get on with the day. Check completed card payments in your account when you need to.

No monthly fees

Pay 5% per transaction plus Stripe fees when a customer pays by card. No monthly subscription during quiet months.

Print a code or choose slate

Use a printed code or an engraved Welsh slate plaque. Keep it clean, easy to scan and beside your price list.

Clear prices for changing stock

Price the veg boxes and flower bunches, and leave an open amount for anyone rounding up for a few extra courgettes. Mix and match in the same box.

Keep the cash tin

This isn't here to replace the tin — it catches what the tin misses. The plaque is for the growing number of people who turned up without any coins.

Plan the stall and check your takings

Start with a clear price list and a payment point customers can reach safely. Check the fees on your usual sale before putting up the code.

See what remains after payment fees

Enter your usual selling price. The starting estimate uses HonestyBox at 5% of the full sale plus Stripe's standard UK card rate of 1.5% + 20p. This is the amount after payment fees, before stock costs and tax.

Other card and account rates can differ. Check Stripe's current rates, or enter your own rate in the calculator.

Questions

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

What if there's no phone signal at my gate?

Customers need mobile data or Wi-Fi to open checkout and pay. Test the full payment journey at the stall before opening, and keep cash available if the connection is unreliable.

How do I know when someone's paid?

Check completed card payments in your HonestyBox account. Compare those with cash takings and the stock remaining; a payment record does not automatically count what is left on the stall.

Can I list different products at different prices?

Yes. List everything — half-dozen eggs, veg boxes, sweet peas, jars of honey — each with its own price. People tap what they're taking and pay for the lot in one go.

Can people still pay cash?

Of course. The tin and the plaque work side by side. The code is there for the people who haven't carried change in years.

Do people need to download an app?

No. Customers scan the code with their phone camera and pay in their browser. They need an internet connection to complete checkout.
