You do not necessarily need a terminal to accept TWINT and cards at your stall. With 1pay.ch you have two options that work with a phone and have no fixed costs: you only pay the fee when you get paid.
Which one to choose #
QR Pay: customers pay with their own phone #
- What you need: your QR code, printed and placed on the stall.
- How customers pay: if they scan the code with the TWINT app, they pay straight away with TWINT. If they scan it with their phone camera, a page opens where they choose from all the methods you have activated, cards and wallets included.
- Best for: donations, fixed prices, stalls without long queues.
Tap to Pay: you take payments with your phone #
- What you need: an Android phone with NFC and the app.
- How customers pay: you type in the amount and the customer holds their card or phone to yours. If they want to pay with TWINT, the app shows a QR code for the exact amount.
- Best for: amounts that change with every sale and customers who pay by card.
Many stalls use both: the QR code on the stall for TWINT users, Tap to Pay for those who reach for a card.
Ready in 15 minutes #
- Open your account and complete the verification, if you have not done so yet: see Opening your free account.
- For the QR code: download it from the admin area and print it large (at least A5). Everything is in QR Pay.
- For Tap to Pay: install the app on the Android phone and make a test payment. Everything is in Tap to Pay.
- Check the phone signal where your stall will be.
Tips for the stall #
- Write the price next to the QR code: the customer types it in and you check the amount before handing over the goods.
- Always look at the payment confirmation on the customer’s phone or in the notification: it is the proof that the payment went through.
- Only use the QR code downloaded from your admin area, and check now and then that nobody has stuck a different sticker over it.
If you take a lot of payments or want a printed receipt, consider a POS terminal.
