Collect payment for a Quick Sale using Tap to Pay

You can collect payment for a Quick Sale through Tap to Pay on iPhone or Android devices.

Steps:

  1. In the Shopify app, start a Quick Sale:

    1. Tap Menu, and then tap Quick Sale in the main menu.
    2. Optional: Tap the Inventory menu to select a different location for the Quick Sale.

  2. Make any customizations to your Quick Sale, such as adding products or custom amounts.

  3. At the bottom of the Quick Sale, tap Collect, and then tap Tap to Pay.

  4. When the Tap to Pay function is prepared, it displays a cart total with a prompt for the customer to hold their contactless payment method behind the tap area to process the payment. When the payment is approved, your device displays a "Done" message.

  5. When the Quick Sale payment is confirmed, the Order summary displays with the options to send a receipt to your customer.

  6. Optional: Tap Done to start a new Quick Sale.

You can generate a payment link QR code for a Quick Sale that the customer can scan using their device to open a secure payment link. Similar to a draft order direct checkout link, the customer can then complete the payment on their mobile device using their preferred accelerated payment method or paying by credit card.

Before collecting payment for a Quick Sale using a payment link, review the following considerations:

  • Quick Sales are inventory-aware and prevent overselling. If you try to generate a payment link for a Quick Sale containing out of stock items, then a "Payment link unavailable" message displays advising you to restock or remove the affected items.
  • If the Quick Sale contains multiple discounts, then percentage discounts are converted to their amount off values, and the discounts are combined and display as a single amount off discount in the payment link checkout.
  • Shipping details can be left blank when a customer chooses to pay using a payment link. If shipping details aren't manually configured before sending the payment link, then your customer can submit their own shipping details and select a shipping rate themselves, similar to the Shopify Checkout experience for an online order.

Steps:

  1. In the Shopify app, start a Quick Sale:

    1. Tap Menu, and then tap Quick Sale in the main menu.
    2. Optional: Tap the Inventory menu to select a different location for the Quick Sale.

  2. Make any customizations to your Quick Sale, such as adding products or custom amounts.

  3. At the bottom of the Quick Sale, tap Collect, and then tap Payment link.

  4. A payment link QR code generates, and your customer can scan the link and complete the payment with their device. From this screen, you can do any of the following actions:

    • To display the QR code and Quick Sale total in fullscreen mode on your mobile device, tap the QR code. Tap the QR code again to exit fullscreen mode.
    • To share the payment link using a social media app or SMS message, tap Share Share link and then tap the app that you want to use.
    • To share the payment link manually, tap Link Copy link, and then share the link manually.
    • To review the items in the Quick Sale, tap Pending items.

  5. Optional: To save the Quick Sale in the Payment pending state and return to the empty Quick Sale screen, tap Done. You can return to this payment link QR code screen from the Pending links transactions history at a later time.

  6. When the Quick Sale payment is confirmed, the Order summary displays with the options to send a receipt to your customer.

  7. Optional: Tap Done to start a new Quick Sale.

Collect payment for a Quick Sale using cash
