The market opens on Saturday and you still have a thousand things to do. But payments can’t be improvised on the morning itself. Here are the seven checks to do a week in advance: an hour’s work today, zero stress at the stall.<\/p>\n
If you don’t have an account yet, sign up now, not on Friday evening. Signing up to 1pay.ch takes a few minutes, but the verification of your details<\/a> usually takes up to one working day. Better to leave yourself some margin.<\/p>\n For a Christmas stall, this combination almost always works:<\/p>\n Print them at least in A5, laminate them and prepare a QR code with the price already set for each main product. Customers scan and pay without typing anything. You’ll find how to create a code with a fixed amount in the QR Pay<\/a> guide.<\/p>\n Make a test payment<\/a>: pay CHF 1.- yourself with TWINT and with a card. Check that the notification arrives and that the transaction appears in the admin area. It’s the test that saves you a nasty surprise in front of your first customer.<\/p>\n Terminal charged, phone charged, power bank in your bag. If you use Tap to Pay, check that NFC is switched on on your phone.<\/p>\n A clear sign with the TWINT and card logos attracts people who only have their phone in their pocket. Put it where people in the queue can see it, not behind the till.<\/p>\n You can make one for free in two minutes with our \u00abYou can pay here with\u00bb sign<\/a>: upload the QR code downloaded from your admin area, choose the logos of the methods you accept and print it in A4, A5 or A6.<\/p>\n If the network slows down, the printed QR code keeps working (customers pay using their own connection). And a small cash float is always a good idea.<\/p>\n Want to tick off the checks on your phone? Use the event payments checklist<\/a>, to fill in online or print. If you use a terminal, you’ll find the specific checks in Getting your terminal ready for a market or an event<\/a>.<\/p>\n A question a few days before opening?<\/p>\n Message us on WhatsApp or give us a call: we’ll help you sort out your QR code, terminal and account in time.<\/p>\n Phone<\/strong> +41 91 857 47 37<\/a> \u00b7 WhatsApp<\/strong> +41 79 857 47 37<\/a> \u00b7 info@1pay.ch<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n How much does it cost?<\/p>\n With the 1pay.ch Starter plan there’s no monthly fee: just a fee when you get paid.
