About PickersPay Support

PickersPay is a lightweight checkout platform built for vendors who sell in real-world, imperfect environments — food trucks, pop-ups, estate sales, craft fairs, and outdoor markets. We keep things simple by design.

This page covers the most common questions vendors ask. If you don't find what you need here, email us at support@pickerspay.com and we'll get back to you within one business day.

Signup & Setup

How do I create a PickersPay vendor account?

Visit pickerspay.com and click "Become a Vendor." You'll be guided through a short setup flow — no hardware, no app download required. Everything runs in your mobile browser.

Do I need to connect a bank account to start selling?

No. You can start selling right away without connecting a bank account. Funds are held securely in your Stripe account until you're ready to connect your bank and initiate a payout.

Is there a monthly fee or subscription?

No monthly fees, no subscriptions, no setup costs. PickersPay charges a small platform fee only on successful transactions — about 1¢ per dollar. You pay nothing until you make a sale.

What do I need to get started?

Just a smartphone and an email address. PickersPay works directly in your mobile browser — no app store, no downloads, no card reader, no terminal.

Is PickersPay available in my area?

PickersPay is currently available in the United States. Payment processing is powered by Stripe, which requires a US-based bank account for payouts.

Payouts

How do I receive my money?

Payments are processed through Stripe and deposited directly into your connected bank account. Once you connect your bank in the vendor dashboard, Stripe handles the payout schedule automatically.

How long does it take to receive a payout?

Standard Stripe payout timing applies — typically 2 business days after a transaction is completed, depending on your bank and Stripe account status. New accounts may have a slightly longer initial hold period.

Can I sell before connecting my bank account?

Yes. You can accept payments immediately. Funds accumulate in your Stripe balance and are released once you connect your bank account. There is no time limit on connecting your bank.

Does PickersPay hold my money?

No. PickersPay is a software platform, not a payment processor or money transmitter. We do not receive, hold, or transmit funds. All funds flow directly between your customer and your Stripe account.

What are the transaction fees?

PickersPay charges approximately 1% per successful sale (about 1¢ per dollar). Standard Stripe processing fees also apply. There are no monthly fees, no setup fees, and no cancellation fees.

Refunds

How do I issue a refund to a customer?

Refunds are managed directly from your Stripe dashboard. Log in to your Stripe account, find the transaction, and issue a full or partial refund from there. PickersPay does not process refunds on your behalf.

Will I get my platform fee back if I refund a sale?

Yes. PickersPay's platform fee is returned to you when a refund is issued, in accordance with Stripe's refund policy. Note that Stripe's standard processing fees are non-refundable.

What happens if a customer disputes a charge?

Disputes (chargebacks) are handled directly through Stripe. You are the merchant of record for all transactions, so you'll manage disputes via your Stripe dashboard. PickersPay has no control over chargeback outcomes.

Can I issue a partial refund?

Yes. Stripe supports both full and partial refunds. Log in to your Stripe dashboard, locate the transaction, and choose the refund amount.

QR Fallback & Offline Checkout

What is the QR fallback and why does it exist?

The QR fallback is PickersPay's core signal-resilience feature. When your cellular signal is weak or unreliable, customers can scan your QR code and complete checkout on their own device using their own carrier. This means a dropped connection on your end doesn't kill the sale.

Is the QR checkout a real, live payment?

Yes. The QR flow is not an offline or deferred payment. When a customer scans your QR code, they complete a live Stripe transaction on their device in real time. The payment is authorized and confirmed before they walk away.

Do I need internet to show my QR code?

Your QR code is static and can be displayed even without an active connection — printed, saved as a screenshot, or shown from a cached page. The customer's device handles the live transaction.

How do I know the payment went through?

Once the customer completes checkout, you'll receive a confirmation notification on your vendor dashboard (when your connection is restored, if it was interrupted). You can also verify any transaction in your Stripe dashboard at any time.

What if the customer doesn't have signal either?

If neither device has connectivity, the transaction cannot be completed in real time. PickersPay does not support deferred or offline-stored transactions — this is intentional to protect you from unverified payments and delayed declines.

Troubleshooting

My QR code isn't scanning. What should I do?

Make sure the QR code is displayed at a reasonable size and is not obscured or distorted. Ask the customer to use their default camera app rather than a third-party scanner. If the issue persists, try refreshing your vendor dashboard to regenerate the code.

A payment shows as pending. Is that normal?

Pending status is normal immediately after a transaction — Stripe typically settles payments within minutes. If a payment remains pending for more than a few hours, check your Stripe dashboard for any alerts or verification steps required on your account.

I can't log in to my vendor account.

Try clearing your browser cache and cookies, then reload the page. If you've forgotten your password, use the password reset option on the login screen. If you're still locked out, email support@pickerspay.com with your registered email address.

The tap-to-pay option isn't working.

Tap-to-pay requires an active internet connection at the time of the transaction. If your signal is weak, switch to the QR fallback flow — your customer can complete checkout on their device. Make sure your browser is up to date and that you've granted the necessary permissions.

I don't see a recent transaction in my dashboard.

Transactions may take a few moments to appear after completion. Refresh your dashboard and check your Stripe account directly for the most up-to-date transaction history. If a transaction is missing after 30 minutes, contact support@pickerspay.com with the approximate time and amount.

How can I delete my account and associated data?
