How can I sell using Jim?

Sell in person with Tap to Pay, or remotely with a Payment Link or your Jim Website.

You can sell in three ways with Jim:

  • Tap to Pay: in person, with your phone.

  • Payment Link: remotely, by sending a link to your customer.

  • Jim Website: online, with your free business website.

You only need your phone and the Jim app. The minimum sale is $1.

Sell with your Jim Website

Jim creates a free website for your business. Your customers see your products and services, place orders, and pay online. They don't need the Jim app. You manage your catalog and bookings in the app.


Sale options

Before you tap Charge, you can turn on:

  • Profit Booster: your customer covers the card fees. Learn more in How do I use Profit Booster in Jim?

  • Add a tip: your customer picks a tip. Tap to Pay only. Learn more in How does tipping work in Jim?

  • Add sales tax: adds tax to the sale.

  • Add description: adds a note to the sale.

  • Allow link reuse: the same Payment Link works for more than one payment. Payment Link only.


Card isn't contactless?

Jim doesn't support typing card numbers into the app. Send a Payment Link so your customer can enter their card details. See Can I manually type in a customer's card number in Jim?

Sales limit and security review

When you reach it, sales are paused and reusable Payment Links stop working until you verify your identity. See What is my sales limit with Jim?

Every sale goes through an automatic security review and can be declined if something unusual is detected. See I am not able to sell using my device. What should I do?
