How to take a card payment without a card reader
Send your customer a payment link by text or email. They enter their card (or use Apple Pay) on their own phone, so you don’t need a card reader or to touch their card.
Why skip the card reader
No device to buy, charge or forget in the truck.
You never handle the customer’s card, which is safer for both of you.
It works when the customer isn’t there: send the link after the job and they pay from the couch.
How it works
- Make a payment link for the amount.
- Text or email it to your customer.
- They open it on their phone and pay by card or Apple Pay.
- You get told when it’s paid.
Don’t type their card number for them
Reading a card number over the phone and typing it in yourself means you handle their card details, and those payments are easier to dispute. Let the customer enter it on the payment page instead.
