Questions

Card machines, answered.

Do I need to buy a card machine?

No. With card by QR, the till shows a code and your customer pays on their own phone. Add a reader later if you want customers to tap a card.

Can I keep the card machine I have?

Yes. Use the Tuppence till for the sale and record the payment as Other. Tuppence charges nothing on it, and your cash-up still adds up.

When do Tap to Pay and the readers arrive?

They are in development. Sign up and use card by QR today; your account gets them as soon as they're ready, with nothing to move.

Does it work with my own till software?

Today, your till can create a payment link through the API and show its QR code, and a webhook tells you when it's paid. Driving a reader from your server is in development.
