PayNow for Stripe

Absolutely Fantastic. I sent my EFTPOS terminal back to the bank as was getting charged 1.65% per transaction. With tap and pay with nfc is the best feature and for landscaping business its even faster and easier to use and Access than a proper verifone terminal and is such a time saver and am going to incorporate this in to my business in everyway i possibly can. Great work guys keep it up!!!!

It's ridiculous how easy this app is to use. Seamless set-up and use. I was bummed when it went from 10c to 0.5% per transaction as that will mean a phenomenal increase to about $2.50 per a typical transaction. I searched for other alternatives but I couldn't find any that were cheaper and as seamless so I suppose you've made the right choice. All the best, great app.

I'm sad to see an app like this loose its original foothold of being the super simple app and it was. I think I'll just go write my own free and open source app like i was planning to do before I found yours. I understand an app needs development, why not offer a free tier and then a paid tier?

Was a great app but now they are raising the price from 10 cents per transaction to 0.5% per transaction it makes it too expensive to use. The developer has got gready which means we will just have to use something else.

Works perfect with credit cards. Also tried to read card with NFC, works good.so cool! Would be very helpful if you could add up the possibility of reading Bank debit cards like maestro, and than get confirm through the bank sites with e-sign, like many webshops Thanks so much for good job

Excellent add on for stripe. Enabled me to take a £640.00 payment this week from a client who couldn't use the online invoice pay now option we have. Worked fine and amount showed up in stripe after about 5 minutes and was paid in a the normal 7 days from stripe to our bank account. Well worth the extra 10p charge

Like everything, all good things must come to an end. For PayNow this happened when they became greedy and decided to take a cut of the pie instead of just charging for the service that they provide. Now more then ever it's worth making the extra effort to log into stripe and take payments from the stripe dashboard. Oh well, it was good while it lasted. For now I have discontinued to use the app and removed from my device.

Gave only 10 days notice to basically increase their fees 50x times for me. (from 10c per transaction to 0.5% which is quite high on top of the credit card processing fees). Greedy developers, you never know what else will come out of it. We were already paying 2.9% + 30c to Stripe, and now another 0.5 percent and it is more expensive than any other processing company. GREEDY GREEDY GREEDY.

Couldn't get past pin/login on android. Iphone couln't do test charge w/ non-admin account/support account. Doesn't use account's token/keypair.

Good app does what it say it does

great app..if there is a way to generate a link and send to customer via whatsap to pay using credit card that would be even better

Well you get charged on top of stripe while other apps do it for free. 10c does not look much but 400 transaction leave you with an additional charge of 40,- while renting a terminal including fees cost around 20,- per month. Means if you have just a handful customers yes this might be the right solution but otherwise ^^

The simplicity of this app is it's biggest selling point. The ability to snap a picture to process a card is excellent. While zip codes or other verification may be lacking, nothing beats a cvc anyway. Great app.

Horrible....hard to set up. Can't set up unless you own a web site. Waste of time !

I would have give 5 star if there was a printing option for receipt in app, printing receipt via local printer will be a good idea, my customers always ask for paper receipt because sending receipt by email is to much hassle

Awsome! It was so easy to set up & my first test went real good. Looking forward to processing donations for our cause. Thanks.

Hi ya i love the sound of this so far. I could aee you guys qrite replies can i use this app for setting up online payments as in i want to sell goods on a website??

Can't use my uDynamo reader with it. Not sure if it works or not. PayPal worked fine though.

Does what it says a+

This is a VERY good app, have never had any problems, but there needs to be a signature and have the ability to obtain that signature for proof of purchase for disputed charges. I would also like to buy this app vs getting charged a fee for every transaction.

Tried it briefly but all my customer with Chip cards failed and /or they refused to let me punch in their card # citing security concerns . These types of apps will soon become obsolete as they are not PCI compliant and Stripe will eventually ban non - EMV POS transactions via their network. Don't get your hopes up depending your business on this!

Quick and functional. Setup process needs to be clearer for linking to existing STRIPE accounts..it's way up the top right in small font, during setup. Most of the page is preoccupied with setting up as if a new STRIPE account. NOTE that card IMAGE SCANNER function DOES NOT RECOGNISE card numbers for cards with printed (non-embossed) numbers, such as Australia Post Load And Go Rechargeable VISA debit cards. Presumably this also afflicts disposable prepaid debit cards that also have printed/non-embossed numbers. (tested on two devices and multiple cards). LIVE vs TEST mode. Suggest also changing the background colour to emphasise a mode change. Worth an extra Star once that's sorted.

Couldn't get it to read via NFC. Then Maeve the developer helped me. Seems I was tapping in the wrong place. All good now, thanks Maeve

Worst UX and doesn't even work half the time. Edit: Sorry I thought this was the official STRIPE app. To clarify - the NFC seemed to only work on the rear of the phone (S7 Edge) and hardly ever work on the front, making usage a bit awkward. The keyboard frequently obscures the text entry fields, making the UX pretty annoying. It's often not clear if the "Next" button will go to the next field or submit the form. I had to repeatedly close the keyboard and open it again to see what I was trying to edit.

This is the best option for connecting to your stripe account for accepting mobile credit card payments. Their commission rate is fair and interface pretty clean and intuitive. However like other users of Samsung S7 edge, the NFC reading is unreliable and the on-screen keyboard interferes with the input screen. These are likely to be phone make and model issues rather than app issues but when there is a queue of people waiting, their frustration and operator anxiety rise rapidly. Resolution of NFC issue would earn 5 stars.

The app is great. In development terms it can't be beaten. charges are not excessive for what you get. Although it would nice to have a selection of plans, depending on your turnover.

Everyone expects to pay by card - this app made me so much money at a recent festival - easy to use - highly recommend!! Would love it to have sales summary/history though...

Brilliant. This links in with our software for business and allows us to take credit card payments without needing efpos machine. Excellent

Easy to use for taking sales on the telephone and on the move visiting customers

Dope

Need to add a tip option so customers can add a tip

Simple and customer services excellent

Great app

Everyone seems to be complaining about the pricing, so that means they can't moan about any technical problems or bugs...so I guess that's a compliment to the developers because they made an amazing tool. I own a window cleaning business and this app saves me huge amounts of money and time, not having to call back several times for small amounts of €20 and up. and people are impressed by the simplicity of paying by card. So get on with the small % going to workers making this app and stop moaning about the pricing. Just use it! It gets updates very often and it works perfectly! I love it and have no issues with the charge. I have actually recommended it to few other window cleaners! Thank you for a smooth and well supported app!

To all the people complaining about the 0.5% price increase. Take a look at any other similar provider for non-swiped CC transactions.. %3.4 per transaction is actually quite competitive. Here's a thought, have a few options in your arsenal that adapt to your current situation. PayPal, Square and Stripe to name a few are all great in there own way. Use them all, when you need a particular one for each seperate use case.

Update: downrating to 3 stars due to pricing change. In the life of the app, they've gone from free to $0.10 per transaction to now 0.5% per transaction. I understand the cost of maintaining and enhancing an app but I stepping off this bus. 2.9%+0.30 Stripe fees + 0.5% app fee = 3.4%+0.30 for processing. That's quite high for all but the smallest low volume sellers. Do your homework. --- If you're a Stripe user, this app bridges an obvious gap in the software and APIs offered by Stripe. I used the previous version and now use the current version. I do wish the app author had been a bit more proactive in educating existing users that the app moved from completely free to collecting a $0.10 fee with each successful transaction. Still quite reasonable considering what some other Stripe developers charge but not best practices with how it was done. I'd rather just buy the app.

Revised review down to two stars for the massive hike in fees. Previously it was £0.10 per transaction, now it is 0.5%. I hadn't noticed therefore I've been charged fees that I wasn't aware of and thus didn't agree to. I certainly disagree with charging a percentage, as the developer's costs are the same regardless of the transaction amount. It's a real shame because I was very pleased with this app. Looks like I'll have to go back to using the Stripe dashboard. My previous 5-star review read: This app is ideal for me as an electrician working in peoples homes. It's very simple and it just works. It's much easier than trying to use Stripe's website on my phone when taking payments face to face. My customers are always very impressed with how slick this is and they love the emailed receipts. I thought the camera card reading function was good until I tried the NFC option, which is brilliant as it gets the expiry date as well as the card number. Some cards are NFC locked (such as HSBC) but that is not the developer's fault. You do need to bear in mind that the Paynow fee does not appear on Stripe's monthly invoices but I just handwrite the number of Paynow transactions on there

I'm a minor, so I can't answer some of the questions, such as bank and card details, and I'm not comfortable with other questions, like my 'business address'. I just want to sell my drawings from home, and I'm not really OK with giving out this information. I might try this again later, when I've moved away and I ACTUALLY HAVE bank details to give.

AVOID AVOID AVOID!!! Anyone who installed this app I advise u to check ur stripe account. For months this app on random payments I took showed up the payment was a "success" and customer took items. Only months later by chance I noticed a number of these transactions failed. I provided evidence to back up my story but Pay Now just said they tried testing it and can't find any problems or bugs so tuff luck basically. I'm down 100s now. As for people thinking of downloading there are plenty alternatives. Only download if you want to risks loosing 100s or 1000s in payments

Edit: huge increase in fees means I have to stop using it. Shame. Works as described, only downside so far is an update that unexpectedly wiped all my account info so that I had to go through the stripe login process again - in front of a customer!
