Card types
Prepaid card
The customer tops up, the money is yours before they spend it, and every order is paid with a scan.
A sample card, drawn exactly like the real one. Yours carries your logo and your colour.
The big coffee chains have done it for years: the customer loads a balance, gets a little extra for doing it and pays with the card. The money comes in first, and someone with a balance on your card comes back to spend it with you.
With TAPPI the balance lives on a card in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. It is topped up from the phone with Apple Pay or Google Pay, or at your counter, spent when your team scans the card, and the balance updates at once on the customer’s screen and in your dashboard.
How it works
1
Top up from the phone
From the card itself, with Apple Pay or Google Pay, or at your counter. You can add a bonus for topping up: load more, get more.
2
Pay with a scan
Your team scans the card or types its code, enters the amount and the balance goes down. No cash or card machine for that customer.
3
Paid before you serve
The money is in your account when the customer tops up, not when they spend it. You see the outstanding balance in your dashboard.
In numbers
An example: Café Aurora
Worked out from your answers: about 1,000 customers a week and an average spend of about £10. Not a promise.
How it works
- Customers load a balance with Apple Pay or Google Pay, or at your till, and pay with the card on their phone. For example: load £50, get £55.

The numbers
- Every 1% of your customers who comes once more a month is about 43 visits and about £430 a month.
- Your plan costs the same as 3 average sales a month.
- Every 10 customers who load £50 is £500 paid upfront.
Your plan: Growth
- £30 a month billed yearly, for 1 location.
- Or £39 a month, month to month.
- 5 NFC chips included; you pay the shipping.
- 14 days free, no card.
Prices exclude VAT. Every plan also includes your Google review page.
Questions
What owners usually ask
None from TAPPI. Payments go into your own Stripe account and you pay only Stripe’s processing fee. On what you take yourself at the counter, nothing.
A loaded balance is the customer’s money and you set the refund terms. The bonus you add for topping up is your gift and can expire.
Your team scans the card from a phone or the dashboard and enters the amount. The balance drops at once and the customer sees it on their card.
Yes. Many businesses run a prepaid card for paying and a stamp card to reward the visit.
