The payments checklist for your event

Market, association party or fair: 17 checks, from a week before to after the event, so you do not lose a single sale at the till. Tick them off or print the list.

How to use it

The checklist follows the event in four stages: a week before (account, payment methods, QR codes, sign), the day before (batteries, test payment, cash float), during the event (where signs and codes go, plan B) and after (counting up and notes for next time).

Your ticks stay in your browser, so you can come back to the list at any time. The tip that matters most: combine at least two methods, a fixed one like a QR code on the stall and an active one like a terminal or Tap to Pay. If one slows down, the other keeps the till open.

Frequently asked questions

How far ahead should I prepare payments?

At least a week before, especially if you do not have an account yet: signing up to 1pay.ch takes a few minutes, but verification of your details usually arrives within one working day.

Do I need a terminal?

Not necessarily. With a printed QR code the customer pays with their own phone, and with Tap to Pay your Android phone becomes a terminal for cards and wallets. A terminal is worth it if you are busy or every sale has a different amount.

What if there is no network?

The printed QR code keeps working, because the customer pays with their own connection. Still keep a small cash float for those who pay cash.

Is the checklist saved?

Your ticks stay in your browser only: we neither receive nor store them anywhere.
