Customer wants to pay by credit card.

[Imagine]

Bearing in mind I've just looked at my Stripe login in page, and decided I understand nuclear physics way better, is there any way I can request payment
in any form from a customer who I only have a mobile number for? Stop laughing at the back.

Helpful advice appreciated, thanks.


Hmmmm. It appears I can send a Paypal request to a mobile. Least worst option, if I get funds.

Bank transfer?

If you need walking through how to take payment over the phone on Stripe, give me a shout and I'll happily walk you through it. You can create a "payment link" from there which you can then text to the customer

Sent him BACS details at 1am when I got home. Offered Paypal by text, radio silence. Not looking promising.

Text them a link to https://www.excaliburmobiledisco.co.uk/pay/

Or complete the first stage yourself then send them a link to the payment page, e.g.: -

https://www.excaliburmobiledisco.co....-05&amount=300

Doesn't really get any easier, they can pay by card, Google Pay, Apple Pay....

Thanks as always Marc, appreciated.

Does anyone have knowledge or experience of TYL by Nat West? Popped up on Facebook this morning, and since my disco account is with them, it appeals. Seems they tap their card on your phone, and away we go.

Edit: On first glance, it appears to be the answer to everything. Sadly, I worry when something seems too good to be true, as it often turns out to be.

I have never needed to take an in person payment for a disco.

What situation are you looking for it to solve?

Worth noting that because this is contactless, and not Chip and Pin, the contactless limit of £100 will apply. Sid will be able to take full payment for the disco through it.

As long as you have an iPhone!

Apple Pay / Google Pay would probably work, though, getting around the £100 limit if you had to?

Or Android


And yes, good shout about the Google/Apple pay.

Whether a customer would want to process that sort of transaction through my own mobile phone I'm not sure...

Or Android

From what I read, the app to take payments on your phone is only available on iOS.

EDIT: Oops, digging a little deeper https://www.tylbynatwest.com/tap-to-pay which says it is available for Android... they need to make that clearer, especially on their home page!

A way around this... do it on entirely on their phone! In Peter's case, on his phone browse to https://www.excaliburmobiledisco.co.uk/pay/qr and enter the details, that'll create a QR code, e.g.: -



Tell the customer to scan that using their phone - they can then pay by either putting their details in or via Apple / Google Pay, with no limits

That's done using Stripe as the payment gateway, and some custom coding by yours truly
