The hardware
You do not have to buy anything to start.
Tap to Pay turns the Android phone in your pocket into the card machine, for nothing. Add a Stripe reader when you want a counter, a printed receipt or a device your staff can hand over. Fixed counters take the S700; taxis and market stalls take the S710, which carries its own connection.

What you need
A browser. Any tablet, laptop or Android phone. Nothing to install, nothing to lease.
An Android phone, to start. Tap to Pay turns an Android phone into the card machine, so your first payment needs no hardware at all.
A Stripe reader, if you want one. For the counter, from Stripe. The S710 carries its own mobile connection, so a line going down at the shop does not stop you taking cards.
A kitchen printer. A Star CloudPRNT printer on the shop Wi-Fi, paired from the dashboard with a code.
See it on your own counter.
Fifteen minutes with your menu, your printer and a card. No contract afterwards, and your old till stays switched on while you decide.
