What can I do using the Jim app?

A quick tour of everything Jim can do for your business, from taking payments to building a free website and getting instant access to your money.

Jim is built for independent sellers and micro-entrepreneurs who need to get paid without the hassle of traditional setups. One app, one phone, no extra hardware.

Here's what you can do with it.


Take payments in person

Turn your phone into a payment terminal with Tap to Pay. Just enter the amount, hold your customer's card or phone near yours, and the sale goes through.

No reader to buy, no cables to plug in.

  • Works with Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and JCB

  • Accepts Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay too

  • Transactions are processed within the United States only

  • Fee: 1.99% per tap, flat, no matter the card or the sale size

  • Tipping is built right in: turn it on in Sales → Settings → Preferences, and your customer sees a tip screen before paying. The tip rides on the same transaction, with no extra fee.

  • Fee pass-through is also built in: for each sale you decide who pays the processing fee, you or the customer. Jim adjusts the total so it works out either way.

A food truck at a lunch rush, a nail tech finishing a set, a handyman wrapping a job: tap, get paid, move on.


Sell remotely with a Payment Link

Not every sale happens face to face. With a Payment Link, you create a shareable link for any amount and send it by text, email, or DM.

Your customer pays from their phone, no app to download.

  • Fee: 4.99% + $0.30 per sale

  • End-to-end encryption with real-time fraud prevention

  • 3D Secure adds an extra verification step from the customer's bank

  • Fee pass-through works here too, so you can either absorb or pass on the fee

Perfect for invoices, deposits, custom orders, or anyone selling through Instagram or WhatsApp.


Get a free website in minutes

When you sign up, Jim builds a professional website automatically from your business info.

  • Your site lives at jim.com/your-business

  • Built-in checkout on every page

  • Fee per sale processed through the site: 4.99% + $0.30

  • Want a change? Just tell Jim in the chat what to update and it happens instantly

  • Customers pay without downloading anything

  • Choose one from many customizable templates

If you sell online, take bookings, or just want a place to send people, the site is already there.


Let customers book themselves

Booking ties into your Jim Website so clients can pick a time and pay without the back-and-forth.

  • Pay upfront or after the service, your call

  • Automatic reminders go out for you

  • You set the cancellation policy

Clean for barbers, tattoo artists, tutors, pet groomers, anyone with a calendar to fill.


Spend your sales instantly with the Jim Card

Every sale funds your Jim Card in seconds. It's a virtual Visa prepaid card, no plastic, no waiting for payouts.

  • Add it to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet and tap to pay anywhere Apple Pay or Google Pay is accepted

  • Use the card details from the app for online purchases anywhere Visa is accepted

  • No ATM withdrawals, the card is for spending only


Move your balance to a bank account

You don't need a bank account to use Jim, everything runs inside the app. But if you want to move your balance out, ACH Transfer is there.

  • Fee: 1.99% + $0.99 per transfer

  • Minimum: $15 / Maximum: $3,000 per transfer / $5,000 daily

  • Same business day if you start it during business hours; next business day otherwise


Ask Jim anything

The Jim Agent is your AI hire inside the app. Tap the ✨ button on Home to open it. It learns from every transaction and gets smarter the more you use it.

Ask it things like:

  • "How much did I make in Q1?"

  • "Where do my clients like to shop?"

  • "Are there any artist markets happening soon?"

  • "How much should I charge for a fade?"

  • "Create a payment link for $80"

It also finds business opportunities, nearby events, markets, and fairs picked for your business type, so you know where to set up next.


Track sales, share receipts, cancel a sale

Inside the app you can also:

  • See your full sales history and statements

  • Export monthly statements and your annual 1099-K

  • Share receipts with customers

  • Cancel a sale right from the app if you need to

  • Run a fee calculator to see exactly what you'll net on a sale

  • Tap into free business materials: tip calculator, pricing spreadsheets, client tracking, service contract templates, and more
