I want to collect payments in person, but I don’t want to handle cash or set up a card reader.

This feature lets you accept in-person payments without handling cash or using a physical card reader. You can request payment digitally during the interaction so customers can pay quickly from their own device.

This feature is designed for businesses that meet customers face-to-face but want a cashless, hardware-free way to get paid. During an in-person transaction, you can generate a digital payment request that the customer completes on their own phone, removing the need for you to carry a card reader. It supports quick checkout while keeping the experience simple for both you and the customer. Because the customer uses their own device, setup is minimal and you can start accepting payments without purchasing or configuring additional equipment. This can help reduce time spent handling cash, making change, and reconciling cash drawers. It is useful for mobile services, pop-up vendors, appointments, on-site estimates, and any situation where you want to close payment immediately after providing a service. It also helps standardize payment collection by using a consistent digital flow for every in-person interaction. The overall benefit is faster, cleaner payment collection with less operational overhead compared to cash or dedicated card-present hardware.
