How does Tide Instant Checkout work for my customers?

When they use a Instant Checkout Link, they’ll be taken to a web page where they will see:

  • your company name

  • an image and description of what they’re buying

  • the price

They will be asked to give their name, email, and delivery address to complete an Instant Checkout Link payment. When the transaction is complete, we’ll send a receipt to their email.

  • Verify the payment terminal isn't physically damaged. Check for missing seals or screws, holes in the device, and added wires or labels.

  • Check your camera footage for suspicious activities around the payment terminal.

  • Verify that store staff and camera footage cannot see the customers' PINs when they enter this on a payment terminal.

Awareness of suspicious activity

  • Verify the identity of any third-party persons claiming to be repair or maintenance personnel, before granting them access to modify or troubleshoot payment terminals.

  • Always be aware of suspicious behaviour around payment terminals. For example, attempts by unknown persons to disconnect or open devices.

  • Always report suspicious behaviour to Tide.
