The PayRequest iOS app is a companion for merchants. Use it to check business activity, manage products and orders, and respond to new sales while you are away from your desk. The app uses your PayRequest account and its existing permissions. It does not replace your payment provider setup or the web dashboard.

​
Sign in

Sign in with the PayRequest account you use for your business. The app uses PayRequest’s secure sign-in flow; you do not need to create or paste an API key into the app. Your account permissions still apply. If you cannot access a feature in the dashboard, signing in to the app does not grant that access.

​
Explore the app

The tab bar gives you quick access to the main areas of your business: The exact actions shown can depend on your account and the data available for it. In Sell, start a payment link and enter its amount and currency. Add the available details, review the link, and share it with your customer. If you need options that are not available in the app, continue in the PayRequest web dashboard. For a product, open its details to review sales information and share it through the system share sheet. You can choose WhatsApp or another installed sharing app, or copy the link where that action is available.

​
Review payments and orders

Use Payments to switch between the available payment statuses, such as paid, pending, refunded and failed. Open a payment to see its key details and follow its invoice link when present. Invoice documents open through PayRequest’s authenticated web experience. In Manage, open an order to review its key information, customer and status. Customer views can include related order and payment history, subject to your access permissions.

​
Storefront and performance

The Store tab brings your public storefront actions together. Open the storefront, share its URL, display its QR code, or go to its existing customization tools. Performance figures are based on data available to your account. Some metrics or comparisons may not appear when reliable storefront tracking data is unavailable. Storefront analytics do not imply that unrelated payment-link activity is attributed to the store.

​
Notifications

When notifications are enabled for the app and your device, PayRequest can notify you about new orders and payments. Tapping a notification opens the related item in the app when you are signed in and have access to it. You can manage notification permissions in iOS Settings. Notification delivery depends on device permissions and network connectivity.

​
When to use the web dashboard

Use the web dashboard for workflows and advanced settings that are not available in the app. The app is a mobile way to monitor and handle common merchant tasks; customers still complete purchases through your PayRequest checkout page or payment link in a browser. The iOS app does not turn an iPhone into a Tap to Pay terminal. Accepting contactless in-person payments requires a supported payment product and setup; see Stripe Tap to Pay documentation for Stripe’s requirements and availability.
