The stuff you actually want to know.

Do I need to buy a card reader?
No. ThrivePay uses Tap to Pay on iPhone (iPhone XS and later, iOS 16.4+) and Tap to Pay on Android (NFC-enabled phones). Customer taps their card or phone on the back of yours. The reader is your phone.
What does it actually cost?
Stripe's standard processing fee (currently 2.7% + $0.15 for tap-to-pay) plus ThrivePay's 1% platform fee, which caps at $2.00 per transaction. There are no monthly fees, no setup fees, no contracts. You pay only when you take a payment.
How fast do I get my money?
Standard payouts are weekly and free. Instant payouts (same day) are available for a 4% fee on the payout amount.
What about chargebacks and disputes?
All payments run through Stripe, the same infrastructure that processes payments for Shopify, Lyft, and millions of businesses. You get full chargeback protection on tap-to-pay transactions when the customer's card is physically present — something Venmo and Zelle don't offer.
Can I send invoices for jobs I'm not on-site for?
Yes. Create an invoice in the app, send it to the customer's email, and they pay online. Same 1% capped fee. You can also set up installment plans for larger jobs.
Does it work on Android?
Yes. Tap to Pay on Android works on most NFC-capable Android phones. The app is on the Play Store.

Your phone takes payments.
Your bank account doesn't notice the fees.

Free to download. No reader to buy. Set up in ten minutes.
