Take card payments at your pumpkin patch
October brings hundreds of families and hardly any of them carry cash. A QR code on a slate plaque takes card payments by the barrow load, straight to your bank account through Stripe.
Full wheelbarrow, no cash at the gate
A family spends half an hour picking the perfect pumpkins, wheels them to the gate, and pats their pockets. You can wave them off with a promise to pay online, or watch the barrow get unloaded. Either way, October only comes once a year.
Pick your prices. They scan. You get paid.
Set up before the season starts. No app to download, no card reader, nothing to plug in.

Small, medium, whopper, or a flat price a pumpkin — set it up however you sell. Takes about two minutes.
Fix a print out or slate plaque at the gate or by the barrows, and laminate a few spares for busy weekends. One code covers the whole patch.

Families scan with a phone camera, tap what they're taking, and pay by card. You get a notification for every sale while you're helping someone free a stuck stalk.
Built for how pumpkin patches actually work
One frantic month, big queues on wet Saturdays, and half of it happening while you're out in the field. Honesty Box keeps up.
Everyone with a phone pays themselves while you're weighing up the next family. One person can run a busy Saturday without a second till.
Pumpkins are four weeks of trade and eleven months of quiet. You pay 5% when something sells and nothing from November to September.
The engraved slate plaque doesn't mind rain, frost, or a hundred muddy wellies. No soggy printout by half term.
Small, medium and whopper each get their own price, with an open amount for the odd ones. Families tap what's in the barrow and pay in one go.
Plenty of people still turn up with a tenner, and they'll carry on doing it. This is for the ones who came out with car keys and a phone and nothing else.
You'll see the barrow thinning out without walking back across the field. Saturday's takings are totted up before you've got the gate shut.

Questions
Everything you need to know about taking card payments at your stall
Yes. Every payment runs through the person's own phone, so fifty families can pay at once without queueing at a machine. You'll see each sale land in your dashboard as it happens.
Yes — there's no monthly fee, so the quiet months cost you nothing. Set it up once and the same code works every October.
Yes. List small, medium, and whopper at their own prices, and add gourds, squashes, or hot chocolate alongside. Families tap what they're taking and pay for the lot.
People need enough signal to load a payment page, and most fields manage it. If yours is a true notspot, keep the tin front and centre and put the plaque where the signal's best — usually by the gate.
Of course. The tin and the plaque work side by side, and busy weekends need both. The code is there for the families who haven't carried change in years.
