The problem

Fewer people carry cash. Your honesty box shouldn't suffer for it.

Someone stops for your eggs or flowers and realises they've no coins. A QR code beside the cash tin gives them another way to pay.

Honesty Box fixes that with a simple QR code your customers scan to pay by card. No card machine, no app to download, no fuss.

Boxes like yours, all over the country.

How it works

Three steps. That's it.

Create your box, connect Stripe and display your QR code. Customers need mobile data or Wi-Fi to complete payment.

Create your box

Sign up, name your box, and set your prices (or let customers choose what to pay). Takes about two minutes.

Questions

Everything you need to know about taking card payments at your stall

Do buyers need an app?

No. Your buyer just opens their phone camera, scans the QR code, and they're straight into the payment screen. No download, no fuss. Works on any smartphone.

Do I need a Stripe account?

Yes. Connect your Stripe account and complete the details Stripe requests before taking payments. Your account must be ready to accept payments and receive payouts.

When does the money reach my bank?

A completed payment and a bank payout are separate steps. Stripe sends available funds under the payout schedule; bank arrival times can vary.

Can I use it anywhere?

The customer's phone needs mobile data or Wi-Fi to open checkout and pay. Test the full payment journey at your selling point.

Is it safe?

Card payments are processed by Stripe. Customers enter their payment details on their own phone and should check the amount before paying.
