Accept in-person payments without writing code

Use a Stripe Terminal reader or the Stripe Dashboard mobile app to accept in-person payments.

Stripe offers two ways to accept in-person payments without writing any code:

  1. Tap to Pay with Stripe Dashboard enables you to process in-person, contactless payments using only your phone. To get started with Tap to Pay, download the Stripe Dashboard mobile app on iOS or Android and log in with your Stripe account.
  2. Standalone mode enables you to process in-person payments with a compatible Stripe Terminal reader. To get started, order a Stripe Terminal reader and enable standalone mode.

Before you begin

Before you start setting up, make sure that you meet the requirements below and operate in a supported country.

If youre new to Stripe, set up and activate a new account.

Enable NFC

Before accepting Tap to Pay contactless payments, you must enable NFC on your mobile device.

  1. Open your Stripe Dashboard mobile app.
  2. Tap the add symbol () from any tab.
  3. Select Charge a card or send an invoice.
  4. Enter the amount to charge.
  5. Select Tap to Pay as your payment acceptance option.
  6. When the Tap to Pay symbol appears, prompt your customer to tap their card to the device by following the instructions on screen.
  7. The payment confirmation page signals successful completion of the transaction.

If you cant accept a Tap to Pay payment in the Dashboard app, you can manually charge a card. Open the Stripe Dashboard app, click the add symbol () from any tab, and select Charge a card or send an invoice. Then, enter your customers card information manually.

Other ways to accept in-person payments

Generate a QR code: Create a payment link and have your customer scan the QR code to pay. You can also share a payment link through text, email, and other channels.

For developers

If you want to build an in-person payment solution, see the Terminal integration guide.

Payment considerations

Charge limits

The same maximum and minimum charge amounts apply when accepting payments in-person as accepting payments online. For more information on limits, see Minimum and maximum charge amounts.

Strong Customer Authentication

Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) is a European regulatory requirement to reduce fraud and make payments more secure. SCA is required for customer-initiated electronic payments within the European Economic Area (EEA). See Regional Considerations for more detail on how Terminal supports SCA requirements.
