Put the QR at your checkout
A stand at the counter, or a payment button online. No new hardware, no staff training. Your existing terminal stays where it is.
A QR payment option for your checkout
The payment option that pays you.
Put a PayAttention QR code at your checkout. Customers scan it and pay on their phone — Apple Pay or card. You receive your sales as usual, and on top of that we pay your business for every payment made through the code. A month in advance.
Paid monthly, in advance
No hardware, no app
Payments processed by Stripe

How it works
Three steps. The third one is money.
2
Customers scan and pay
The payment opens on their phone — no app to install. They pay with Apple Pay or card, processed by Stripe. Card details are never stored.
3
We pay you for every payment
Every transaction through PayAttention earns your business money from us. We estimate your monthly volume, pay it upfront — and top it up if customers use it more.
→ Your sales revenue + our payments on top
The per-transaction rate and monthly advance are fixed in a simple agreement before you start — you know your number in advance, not after the fact.
See it in action
Watch a real checkout. 30 seconds.
A coffee shop counter, a customer, a phone. This is the whole experience — no app, no sign-up, no waiting line.
Customer scans the QR at the counter
Chooses how to pay on their own phone
Done — the line keeps moving
What your customers see
One QR. Two ways to pay.
After scanning, the customer picks one of two options. Both end with your business getting paid.
Your businessCheckout
Order total$25.00
Pay full price
$25
Apple Pay or card. A normal payment.
Pay less with a brand
$5 $25
A brand covers $20 — the customer completes a short brand offer on their phone.
Illustrative amounts. Offers vary by brand and customer.
If they pay full price
It works like any card payment: the money is processed by Stripe and paid out to you, with a standard processing fee — just like your current terminal.
→ You receive the sale, as usual
If they take the discount
The customer picks a brand offer and completes a short, clearly explained action on their own phone. The brand covers the discount — you still receive the full amount of the sale.
→ You receive the full sale — the brand pays the difference
And in both cases
The transaction counts toward the per-transaction payments we make to your business. Discounted or not.
→ Plus our payment for the transaction
Where the money comes from
Brands pay for it. Not you, and not your margin.
Brands pay a lot to reach real customers at the exact moment they're buying. That advertising money funds the customer's discount — and our payments to you.
Brands
Pay to reach paying customers at checkout
PayAttention
Covers customer discounts and runs the payments
Your business
Gets its sales revenue + per-transaction payments, prepaid monthly
Why businesses add it
Extra money. Zero disruption. You stay in control.
Money in advance
We estimate your volume and prepay the month — before a single customer scans. More transactions, more top-ups.
Happier customers
Yours is the place where customers can actually pay less — without you giving away a cent of your own margin.
You approve the brands
You choose which brand categories can appear and block competitors. Nothing shows up without your sign-off.
Nothing to install
A QR stand in store or a button online. Your terminal and payment provider stay — customers who prefer them can still use them.

Common questions
The things every owner asks first.
What exactly will my customers see at checkout?
At the counter — the table tent with a QR code. Scanning it opens a payment page in their phone's browser: your business name, the amount, and two buttons — pay full price, or pay less with a brand covering part of the bill. That's the whole interface. Online, it's a payment button that opens the same page.
Will customers need to enter bank card details or sign up for a financial service?
No sign-ups, no accounts, no financial products. They pay with Apple Pay in one tap, or type in their card like in any online store. Payments are processed by Stripe, our payment partner, and card details are never stored. The terms customers accept are the Customer Terms.
Do I lose money when a customer pays $5 instead of $25?
No. The brand sponsoring the offer covers the discount, and you receive the full amount of the sale. The discount never comes out of your revenue.
Are there any costs or responsibilities on our end?
Having PayAttention is free — no fees, no subscription, no hardware. Your only responsibility is to place the tent at the register and offer the QR as a way to pay. Payments through the QR carry a standard card-processing fee, like any card payment today — and on top of that we pay you for every transaction.
Is there a contract? Can we read it before deciding?
Yes — one simple agreement based on our Merchant Terms, with a Data Processing Addendum covering how data is handled. Both are open documents — read them before we even talk, or email us and we'll send them over.
How do you handle customer data and privacy?
Payments run through Stripe — we never see or store full card numbers. The personal data we do process, and why, is described in our Customer Privacy Notice. On the merchant side, data handling is governed by the Data Processing Addendum.
What happens to my current terminal?
It stays. PayAttention becomes the way you offer customers to pay, and the terminal remains available for anyone who prefers to tap a card.
What does the customer do for the discount?
They pick a brand offer themselves and complete a short, clearly explained action on their own phone — for example, trying a service or signing up for something. They see the exact action and terms before accepting. It never happens at your counter and never slows your line.
What if a customer doesn't finish the brand's offer?
That's between us and the customer, under terms the customer explicitly agreed to upfront. It doesn't affect what your business receives.
How much would my business get?
It depends on how many customers pay at your business and what kind of traffic it is. Tell us about your checkout below and we'll come back with a concrete monthly number and pilot terms.
