Some fun facts about Yardaroo Express Checkout:
- Your customer does NOT need a Yardaroo account to pay, only an internet connected device and a credit card
- You can charge sales tax if you want to (very useful for business users like estate sale companies, liquidation warehouses, etc.)
- You can track your earnings in the app
Step 1: Log into your account
In the footer navigation (bottom of the screen) you’ll find a dollar sign icon. Tap that to start a new transaction.
Step 2: Enter a dollar amount
Enter the amount you’d like your customer to pay. Your customer will pay this amount, plus fees (and sales tax, if configured) during checkout.
Step 3: (OPTIONAL) Set sales tax
If you would like to collect sales tax, configure your local tax rate. If you are a high-volume seller or a business, we suggest collecting sales tax.
Note: The US government will require you to file a form 1099 if you earn over a certain dollar amount throughout the year. We will provide 1099’s during tax season, if applicable.
Step 4: Start the transaction process
For in-person transactions, select the “Scan QR Code” option. This will generate a QR code that your customer will scan with the camera app on their internet connected device.
Note: for person-not-present transactions, select the “Text Message” option. You can share a payment link via SMS text, email or messenger app.
Step 5: Present the QR code to your customer
Show your customer the QR code generated in step 4. Instruct them to scan the code with the camera app on their internet connected smart device and tap the URL that pops up to complete payment.
