There are two kinds of payment link in Take App: link-based payment methods, which customers use at checkout, and a one-off payment link you send yourself for a custom amount. Point of Sale uses the same link to take payments at the counter.
Link-based payment methods
Several popular payment methods work by sending the customer to a payment page, where they click to pay. Note that you reconcile the order's payment status manually afterwards.
We support the following link based payment methods:
- Touch n Go
- Yoco
- Paypal
- Venmo
- Cash App
To add one, go to Admin > Settings > Payments.
Send a one-off payment link
Useful when you want to collect payment for a custom amount or need to request payment quickly without building an order first — for example, for deposits, custom quotes, or offline sales.
-
Go to Admin → Orders → Payments and select Send payment link. It's also in the ⋯ menu on Orders.
-
Enter an amount and a reference. Both are optional, and the link updates as you type.
-
Click Copy link and share it with your customer, or let them scan the QR. Download QR saves the QR as an image.
Sending the link doesn't create an order. The order is created as soon as your customer opens the link, enters their name and phone number, and taps Pay — so it can show up in Orders before the payment arrives.
Take a payment at the counter
Point of Sale in the Admin sidebar works in any browser, on a laptop or tablet. Enter the amount and a reference, then pick how the customer pays:
- Payment link — the customer scans the QR and pays with any of your payment methods. The order is created when they enter their name and phone number and tap Pay.
- One of your payment methods — a method with its own QR, like PayNow or Pix, shows that QR. Other methods open the payment link on that method.
- Cash — nothing to scan.
When you've been paid in cash or by a method's own QR, click Mark as paid. The sale is saved as a paid order for Customer (POS) and counts in Analytics > Daily closing.
