Payment Methods — Card, Link & Tap
CashWrench supports three ways to collect payment: enter a card manually, send a payment link, or use NFC tap-to-pay.
From the payment screen, you can collect payment three different ways depending on the situation. All three are powered by Stripe and deposit to your bank account the next working day.
💳 Card — enter details manually
Use this when your customer hands you their card and you type the details in. Enter the card number, expiry, and CVV, then tap 'Charge $[amount]'. The card is charged immediately.
🔗 Link — send a payment link
Use this when the customer wants to pay later, isn't present, or prefers to pay on their own device. Tap 'Send Link' and choose SMS, email, or copy the URL. Your customer receives a branded payment page they can pay from any device.
📡 Tap — NFC contactless
Use this for tap-to-pay. An NFC-enabled phone or reader is required. Ask the customer to tap their contactless card or phone/watch. The app detects the tap and processes the charge automatically.
