Small sales need a closer look

The fixed 20p is a larger share of £2.50 than of £50. Keep cash available and compare the amount left after fees with your product costs.

Choosing how to take payment

Compare hardware costs, transaction charges and whether someone will be there to take payment. A printed QR code needs no reader, but the customer needs an internet connection.

Questions

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

What fees does the estimate include?

It includes HonestyBox's 5% transaction fee plus Stripe's standard UK card rate of 1.5% + 20p. Other cards and account pricing can differ.

Why do fees take more of a small sale?

The fixed 20p processing charge makes up a larger share of a small payment. Check what remains after fees before setting prices.

Are there monthly fees?

There is no HonestyBox monthly subscription. A slate plaque is optional and bought separately from payment processing.

Is the estimate my final bank payout?

No. It estimates fees on one successful payment. Refunds, disputes, currency conversion, different card rates and other account adjustments can change what is paid out.

When does the money reach my bank?

Stripe sends available funds according to the payout schedule. A successful payment is not a promise of immediate bank arrival.
