Questions

Good to know.

Does it cost guests anything?

Never. Contributions are entirely voluntary — guests choose any amount, or nothing at all. There's no fee to them, ever.

How do payouts work?

Money flows through Stripe Connect. You connect your Stripe account once; contributions settle to you automatically, minus a flat 10% platform fee. You keep 90%.

Do guests need an app or account?

No. They scan the table's QR, land on your branded page, and pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay in a tap. No download, no sign-up.

Is it secure? What about card data?

Payments run on Stripe's hosted checkout, so card details never touch our servers — that keeps the platform at PCI SAQ-A. Guest IPs are hashed, never stored raw.

Can I run multiple locations?

Yes — unlimited locations, no per-location fee. Each gets its own QR coasters and analytics, and managers can be scoped to just their store.

How long does setup take?

Minutes. Create your shop, add a location, generate and print the coasters, connect Stripe, and you're live.
