Taking Payment in Person
The situation
Someone is standing in front of you and wants to pay. It needs to be done in under a minute, and probably from your phone.
The quickest way
- Create a payment link on your phone with the amount.
- Show your screen to the customer.
- They scan the QR code with their wallet app and confirm.
- You watch it turn to Paid while they are still standing there.
No card reader, no terminal, no waiting on a bank.
For a price you charge all day
If you sell the same thing at the same price over and over, creating a link each time gets tedious.
Make a checkout button for that price, keep it on a simple page saved on your phone, and tap it for each customer. Every tap creates a fresh payment.
Before you rely on this at a market
- Check your phone signal where you will actually be standing. All of this needs a connection.
- Run one real payment to yourself first so you know the flow by heart.
- Confirmation takes a few seconds. Do not hand anything over before you see Paid.
If they do not have a wallet app
They cannot pay this way, and there is no fallback inside Brykto. Worth knowing which wallets your regular customers use before you stop accepting anything else.
