First steps

What to do in your first minutes with Jim, from sign-up to your first sale.

You don't need a card reader, a bank account, or a subscription. Just your phone.


1. Get your seller profile approved

Fill in your business info in the app. Once your seller profile is approved, you can start selling. Some new sellers start with a Starter limit of $500 in total sales. Verifying your identity removes it permanently. See What is my sales limit with Jim?


2. Make your first sale

  1. Tap Sell on the bottom bar.

  2. Enter the amount and tap Sell now.

  3. On Current sale, choose Tap to Pay or Payment Link, then tap Charge.

For the full walkthrough, see Your first sale with Jim.


3. Share your website

Jim creates a free website for your business when you sign up. Customers can buy from it and book with you. See How to use Jim Website?


4. Use your money

Every sale lands in your Jim balance in seconds, ready to spend with your Jim Card. Add it to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, or send money to your bank with ACH. See How to add your Jim Card to a digital wallet? and How can I use my Jim balance?


5. Turn on tips

  1. Tap your name at the top left.

  2. Tap Preferences.

  3. Turn on Enable tips on Tap to Pay.

  4. To choose the tip amounts your customers see, tap Tip options.

You can also tap Add a tip on Current sale for a single sale.

Tips work with Tap to Pay only. See How does tipping work in Jim?


6. Ask Jim anything

  1. Tap Ask Jim what you need at the bottom of the screen.
