What you can do with Jim

  • Sell in person.

Turn your phone into a card terminal with Tap to Pay.

Your customer taps their card, phone, or watch on your device and the sale goes through. Works on iPhone and Android phones with NFC and up-to-date software.

  • Sell online.

Send a Payment Link by text, email, or DM and get paid when you're not face to face.

Jim also builds you a free website with checkout the moment you sign up, and you can list a product catalog and accept bookings through it.

  • Get paid instantly.

Every sale loads your Jim Card in seconds.

It's a virtual Visa prepaid card you add to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet and spend anywhere Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Visa is accepted. No waiting for payouts, no ATM. You may also transfer your money via ACH to any bank account under your name.
