To take a payment using the Tide Card Reader or Tide Card Reader Plus, you don’t need to do anything in the Tide app, or even have it handy.
Open your Tide app and go to ‘Invoice’.
Tap on ‘Manage’ at the top, and then on ‘Template’.
Update the email and phone number fields, as needed.
Instead, select: ‘Payment’ > enter the price > ‘Continue’, directly on the terminal.
Your customer can tap or insert their card, and the payment will land in your account within 3 business days.
If you prefer, you can use the Tide app to take a payment with your card reader, too.
In the app, tap: ‘Get paid’ > ‘Take a payment’ > enter the price > ‘Take a payment’.
After your customer taps or inserts their card in the terminal, the payment will land in your account within 3 business days.
