Mobile Payments — Fast and Intuitive
PayNow for Stripe is an iPhone point-of-sale app built to let merchants accept card payments directly from their phones. The interface is intentionally simple so sellers can process transactions quickly, either by typing card information or by using the device’s camera to scan cards. It also supports transactions in multiple currencies, making it practical for businesses that serve international customers.

Costs and Fees
PayNow adds a small platform fee of 0.5% on each transaction in addition to Stripe’s standard processing charges. There are no setup, monthly subscription, or refund fees billed by the PayNow app itself, keeping the overall cost straightforward and predictable.
Integration, Security, and Reliability
The app functions as a front-end companion to Stripe, which handles payment processing and security on the backend. That arrangement leverages Stripe’s established infrastructure to provide robust reliability and protection for cardholder data.
