Do I need Venmo, Cash App, or Zelle to use Valetfy?

No. Neither you nor your customer needs a peer-to-peer app. The customer scans your QR code, a checkout opens in their phone browser, and they approve payment with a supported card or wallet. Nothing to download, no Valetfy customer sign-up.

Can a customer without Cash App still pay me?

Yes. A customer does not need Cash App, Venmo, or Zelle to use Valetfy. They scan your QR and approve a supported card or wallet payment in a browser checkout powered by Stripe.

How is Valetfy different from Zelle?

Zelle routes payments through participating financial institutions and requires eligible enrollment. Valetfy is a QR code card-payment service: the customer reviews a browser checkout and approves payment with a supported card or wallet, powered by Stripe.

Is paying by QR code safe?

Yes. Every payment runs on Stripe. Card details go straight to Stripe — you never see or store them, and neither does Valetfy.

Comparison

Valetfy vs. Venmo, Cash App & Zelle

Valetfy is a business alternative to requiring every customer to use the same payment app. Your customer scans a QR code, reviews a browser checkout, and approves payment with a supported card or wallet. No Valetfy app or customer account, no card reader, powered by Stripe.

How Valetfy differs from each payment app

Valetfy vs. Venmo

Venmo offers business profiles and QR payments, but a direct Venmo QR payment is built around the customer's Venmo account and app. Valetfy opens a browser checkout that accepts supported cards and wallets without requiring a Valetfy account.

Valetfy vs. Cash App

Cash App offers business payment services, but a payment within Cash App still depends on that payment network. Valetfy gives the customer a browser checkout, so they can review and approve a card or wallet payment without joining Valetfy.

Valetfy vs. Zelle

Zelle is a bank-account payment service, and small-business availability depends on whether the operator's financial institution supports the business account type. Valetfy instead presents a card checkout powered by Stripe.

Why Valetfy is different

You're not asking anyone to join a network. You're opening a browser checkout that accepts supported methods they already use — Apple Pay, Google Pay, and major cards — all powered by Stripe. The customer still sees the amount and approves the payment.
