Record a card sale

Card sales are record-only during the pilot. Your own bank terminal authorises and takes the payment; Swipee records the result as part of your shop's books.

Record the sale

1. 1
   Build the basket or type the amount in Swipee.
2. 2
   Take the payment on your normal bank terminal.
3. 3
   Check the terminal's approved message or receipt.
4. 4
   In Swipee, tap Charge → Card.
5. 5
   Complete the sale and issue the Swipee receipt.

The Card option says Recorded — paid on your card machine so it cannot be mistaken for an authorisation screen.

What Swipee records

• The amount, currency, items, tax, and discount
• Payment method Card
• Store, till, cashier, and customer where selected
• The receipt and transaction reference

Swipee does not collect or store the full card number for this flow.

If the terminal declines

Do not complete the card record in Swipee. Ask the customer for another card or payment method. If you already recorded it by mistake, open the transaction and correct the sale.

In-app card acceptance

Contactless phone acceptance and paired card readers are hidden until Swipee has live acquiring and certified hardware. You do not need to pair a card reader to record a sale paid on your own terminal.

Fees

A sale that Swipee only records is not a payment processed by Swipee. See Fees and pricing for the current pilot policy.
