External Card Reader Request
J
Jacy
Hi Zeffy! We are hosting an event with 300 guests at a large venue in late September. We are utilizing Zeffy Tap To Pay for some of the things going on at the event. The committee is worried that there is too little cell signale for Tap To Pay to work properly and would prefer that we used an external card reader.
I understand that this is not currently offered, but would be a great feature to add in the feature!
Also, a feature that would help nonprofits to raise more funds is to add a notification when someone outbids you in the silent auction.

We would absolutely love to have the ability to use a tap to pay external reader as we have lots of high school volunteers and haven't figured out the best way to accept day of ticket sales or concession stand sales. Thank you for such an amazing platform. We have definitely seen a huge increase in our revenue because of it!!

Thanks Jacy for the request!
We are currently investigating what we could do to improve the on site payment option.
Having an external card reader is among the options considered but nothing is decided yet.
Regarding the silent auction notification, it does exist but only by email for now. Did you experience any issue with it?
Thanks

Michel (Product @Zeffy) I am honestly uncertain. This was at an event last February and I do not recall the email feature, but I may have missed it.
Thanks for your timely response!! Do you have an estimated timeline on when a decision will be made regarding improving on site payment options?

Evening Michel (Product @Zeffy),
I am upvoting this request specifically so that we are able to utilize iPads or the like for our POS, as they do not natively have tap-to-pay features like iPhones. This would be a huge help for how we would like to operate and would also feel more professional to spin an iPad around to the customer at our events, rather than handing them our phones for the customer portion of the transaction. Just food for thought, so thank you for considering this integration!
Thanks,
Trevor
