How do I accept in-person card payments?

With Tap to Pay, Found enables you to effortlessly accept in-person card payments without any additional hardware. Once you’ve created a Stripe account, follow these steps to accept an in-person payment:

1. Navigate to the Invoices tab on your Found app and tap the Plus button.

2. Choose Accept in-person payment from the menu. If you haven’t already set up Tap to Pay, you will be prompted to do so.

3. Enter the amount that you’re charging your customer.

4. Optionally, choose an existing contact from your contacts list or create a new person to associate this charge with. You can also add a note to describe the charge.

5. Tap Tap to Pay and have your customer tap their card, smartphone, or watch to the indicator on your phone.

6. If the payment is successful, the screen will show as Done.

If you’re having trouble receiving a contactless payment, or your customer does not have a contactless-enabled card, you can manually enter their card details from the payment screen. Just tap Enter card details to add that information.
