PickersPay vs FlowPOS for Stripe

PickersPay — Card Payments That Work Where You Sell Built for vendors who work outdoors, in basements, in tents, in barns, and at the back of crowded events — anywhere strong signal isn't a given. Most card readers fail the same way: the vendor's phone loses signal, the sale stalls, and the customer walks. PickersPay solves this by routing the transaction through the buyer's phone and carrier network. Your signal stops being part of the payment path. How it works • Tap to Pay on your phone for fast contactless sales when signal is good • QR fallback when it isn't — the buyer scans, pays on their own connection, and the sale completes • Recovered sales are tracked automatically, so you can see exactly how much revenue your fallback layer saved you Built for • Farmers markets and craft fairs • Food trucks and pop-ups • Estate sales and antique shows • Festivals, swap meets, and seasonal vendors • Any event where the venue's signal isn't reliable Simple, transparent pricing • 1% platform fee per transaction • Standard Stripe processing on top (2.9% + $0.30 typical) • No monthly fees • No hardware to buy • No long-term contract Payouts you control PickersPay runs on Stripe Connect. Your money goes directly to your bank account on Stripe's standard payout schedule. You own the customer relationship, the chargeback process, and your own 1099 — issued by Stripe, not us. Set up at home, sell on Saturday Onboarding takes about ten minutes when you have your bank info and tax details handy. Get it done before your next event so you're ready to take your first sale the moment you open. PickersPay is the insurance layer for vendors who can't afford to lose a sale to a bad signal bar.
