What is Paid?
Paid is a point-of-sale app that turns an iPhone or Android phone into a card terminal for a business's own Stripe account. Merchants take in-person payments with Tap to Pay or a Stripe-certified card reader, and remote payments with payment links and QR codes. The money settles directly into the merchant's Stripe account, and Stripe pays it out to their bank on the usual schedule. Paid charges 0.99% per transaction on top of Stripe's standard fees, with no monthly or setup fee.
