Feature Request - Have customers make preset payments by just tapping (Like buskers)

[Tonez]

Can this be done?

Hi @LIAM_MUSIC,

While we don't have automatic payments available for customers to tap and pay, the solution we recommend for buskers is QR codes. I've moved your post to an existing thread we have that explains how to do this in more detail.

Yes, yes and ... yes.  Thanks to King Casey (above) who led the way with similar ideas.  You can set up an iPad or iPod/iPhone's screen so that buskers can receive contactless (and chip) card payment from passers by without interruption.

As of June 2021 the process on the iPhone (or iPod) is three steps.  The process on the iPad is two steps.

• Plaster the 'Favourites' with the same price and graphic (eg $1) but create them in 25 separate categories so that a tap on any different '$1' shows up as a separate line item
• Settings > Checkout > anull all the fiddly bits like receipt, review etc (for some reason the iPhone and iPod still does a review , anyway)
• display a little poster that shows the 2 (or 3) steps
•      (see example at contributer's website in profile)
• the passer by hits the '$1' whatever number of times
• they hit the blue button(s) to continue to the payment screen
• card is waved - they get a thank you
• the screen goes bag to the original 'favourites'
• bingo - long live the revolution 😎

Thank you for sharing this workaround @OzBusk, glad to hear this is working for you 😊👍

I'd like to set up my Square POS reader so that it can be card tapped and automatically take a $x default set amount donation for the organisation.

Hi, @hwca, thanks for reaching out to us here.

I've gone ahead and moved your post to an existing thread where we have already answered this question.

While we don't currently offer the option to create preset amounts, the workaround here is to set up QR codes to accept donations.
