Zeffy Tap-to-Pay
Zeffy's version of a card reader is an Apple app called Tap-to-Pay. It is currently only compatible with IOS, but the app allows you to accept in-person payments directly through your phone! It is 100% free, just like the rest of our platform. We also cover all transaction fees associated with your payments. We don't currently offer the possibility to connect an external card reader to Zeffy.
You will need:
-
An iPhone model XS or newer updated to iOS 15.5 or later
-
A Zeffy account connected to an American bank account
➡️ Follow the instructions here on how to set up the app.
Tap-to-pay is only available for sales on donation forms, donation campaigns, single-date events, raffles and e-commerce / boutiques including the 'other sales' form.

Print a QR code
When you create a form, an individual QR code is created. This QR code can be scanned by any smartphone and will bring your supporter straight to your form.
You can copy and paste it to physical communications and you can print it out to have it available around your venue.
To find your QR code:
- Login to Zeffy and go to "Forms"
- Hover over the form you want to share and click the "share" button that appears to the right.
- A pop-up will open showing you the different sharing options you have access to.
- Click on "QR code" to access the QR code option.
- Click on "copy image" to copy your QR code to your clipboard. You'll be able to paste it into the communication materials of your choice.
- Click on "download image" to download a png version of your QR code onto your device.
The "Copy" option will not always appear on Firefox. Try a different browser if you don't see the button.
