The complete Valetfy guide
What is Valetfy?
Valetfy makes getting paid easier for people who sell in person, on the move, or without a checkout counter.
Send a payment link. Show a QR code. Open a simple public store. Take tips. Your customer pays in the browser without downloading an app or creating a Valetfy account, and Stripe handles the payment. You do not need to force a download, ask for a username, or carry a reader for any of those flows.
The short version
One wallet. Several ways to get paid.
You decide what you are selling and what it costs. Valetfy turns that into something your customer can pay in a browser.
Stripe processes the payment and settles funds through your connected account. Valetfy shows the status, receipt, refund, dispute, and payout records needed to run the service. An agent can help create and check supported one-time Charge links; Store and Tip terminals have their own customer flows.
More than a QR guide
The Valetfy payment toolkit
QR codes matter because they make a terminal easy to open in person. They are not the whole product. Valetfy is the system that creates, shares, and manages the payment experience behind the code or link.

A separate terminal for each customer job
A one-time charge, a Store cart, and a tip are different moments. Valetfy gives each one a simple browser checkout instead of squeezing everything into the same form.

Tip Terminal
Customer-chosen gratuities and cashless tips.
The seller creates and manages these experiences from Valetfy. The customer opens only the terminal needed for that moment: an exact charge, a cart, or a tip. Every terminal can be reached by a shareable link, and the same destination can be encoded as a QR code for signs, screens, printed material, or face-to-face checkout.
AI where it helps
Ask about the work around getting paid
The Valetfy Agent brings common payment questions into one conversation. Ask for your balance, recent charges, tip link, or Stripe status instead of hunting through separate screens.
It is meant to help with the work around a payment, not take control of the payment. Important actions stay visible, customers still review checkout, and Stripe still processes the money.
Ask it plainly
“Show my recent charges.”
1. You ask Valetfy in plain language.
2. The agent checks the supported records it can access.
3. You see the answer without leaving the conversation.
4. Anything important still waits for your approval.
In person means more than one thing
Browser checkout when they are away. Tap when they are here.
Links and QR codes let the customer pay on their own phone. Tap to Pay on iPhone lets an eligible seller accept a supported contactless card or wallet on the iPhone itself. They are different ways to get the same payment done.
Platform status, stated plainly
- • Browser Charge, Store, and Tip terminals are the core product.
- • Tap to Pay on iPhone is for eligible devices, regions, connected Stripe accounts, cards, and wallets.

How Stripe fits
Valetfy handles the experience. Stripe handles the payment infrastructure.
Valetfy is not trying to become a bank or hide the processor. Sellers connect a Stripe account during setup. Valetfy then gives that seller a practical operating layer for presenting charges, products, and tips to customers.
01
The seller creates
Name a charge, add products to a store, or open a tip terminal. The Valetfy Agent can also help with supported payment and account questions.
02
The customer approves
The customer opens a browser terminal, reviews what they are paying, and chooses a supported card or wallet.
03
Stripe processes
Stripe handles the payment and settlement through the seller's connected account while Valetfy shows terminal activity and status.
The name
Valetfy means making the annoying part easier
The name comes from the idea of a valet as a helper: someone who handles the awkward, repetitive details so you can keep doing your work. For Valetfy, that detail is turning “I need to pay you” into a completed payment.
A food truck may post a QR storefront. A mobile service provider may text a fixed charge link. A performer may display a Tip Terminal. A seller may ask the Agent to prepare a payment request. The interface changes; the job stays the same: make getting paid less annoying without taking control away from the people making and approving the sale.
Frequently asked questions
The important details
Is Valetfy only a QR-code payment tool?
No. A QR code is one way to open a Valetfy terminal. Sellers can also share payment links, create browser stores, accept customer-chosen tips, and track payment activity from Valetfy. The Valetfy Agent brings common payment and account work into one conversation.
Is Valetfy a replacement for Stripe?
No. Stripe processes payments and handles the connected payment account. Valetfy is the seller and customer experience around that infrastructure: creating terminals, sharing links and QR codes, presenting checkout, and organizing payment activity.
What does the Valetfy Agent do?
The Agent brings common payment work into one conversation. A seller can ask it to prepare supported payment links and QR codes, or ask about balances, recent charges, tip links, or Stripe setup. It does not silently charge a customer or move money; important actions remain visible and require approval.
Does the customer need the Valetfy app?
No. Customer-facing Charge, Store, and Tip terminals open in a modern browser. The customer does not need a Valetfy account or app download to review and approve a supported payment.
Does Valetfy support Tap to Pay?
Yes. Tap to Pay on iPhone is live for sellers whose device, region, and connected Stripe account qualify. Android Tap to Pay is not offered today. Links, QR codes, and your Store cover the moments when a tap is not available.
