How do I set up the payment processing terminal on my phone?
Crowded offers a POS (Point of Sale) feature which allows users to accept payments from debit or credit cards directly from your phone!
- Log in to the Crowded app.
- Click the “More” tab.
- Select “Collect In-Person Payments.”
- Click “Next” and wait for the app to initialize the payment terminal.
- Enter the amount you would like the person to pay.
- Have the person tap their card or use tap-to-pay on their phone and wait until the transaction is complete.
- The money should arrive into the organization's Crowded account in 2-5 business days.
Does collecting payments on the phone connect to a Collection?
No, the money collected from in-person payments goes straight to the organization’s primary checking account.
Who can collect payments in person?
Both admins and contacts can collect payments in person, but the admin must first initialize the payment terminal for the contacts to access it.
How will the money collected from in-person payments be shown?
Admins can see the total amount of money collected in a day in the “Transactions” tab as a lump sum. Payment details or amounts are not available on the platform, please reach out to support if you would like to see those details.
If you are interested in getting the contact details and specific amounts from the beginning, consider using Collections, where all contact information is available on Crowded!
