1

Open Process Payment

Open the customer’s work order. Select Process Payment.
2

Choose the payment method

Under Payment Method, select Contactless Payment Link / Tap to Pay in Square app.
3

Set the amount

Keep the full balance or enter a partial Amount. The amount cannot exceed the balance.
4

Submit the request

Select Submit.
The result dialog explains what happened:
  • Contactless Payment Link Sent means TireTutor used at least one saved contact method.
  • Contactless Payment Link Created means the customer has no email address or phone number. Share the link manually.
Square emails the link when the customer has an email address, and TireTutor texts it when the customer has a phone number. The dialog lists each delivery method it used. The result dialog gives you three options:
  • Select Copy link to copy the Contactless Payment Link.
  • Select Open Contactless Payment Link to open the customer’s secure payment page.
  • Select View in Square Dashboard to open the Square invoice.

​
What the customer can pay with

The payment page behind the link takes a card, a direct bank transfer under Pay directly from your bank (ACH), Cash App Pay, and Afterpay. Express checkout offers Apple Pay and Google Pay, and Apple Pay works in Safari on an iPhone, iPad or Mac. Afterpay depends on the invoice amount and Square eligibility. Each of these needs the customer’s own phone or computer. They suit a customer who reads the invoice themselves, not one who reads a card out to you.

​
Take payment with Tap to Pay

To accept the payment in person with Tap to Pay, use the Square app on your phone. Square controls that flow inside its own app. Follow Square’s guides for Tap to Pay on iPhone or Tap to Pay on Android. Sending a second link creates a new Square invoice and cancels the first one. TireTutor still issues the new link if that cancellation fails. Before you share the replacement link, check the Square Dashboard for the earlier invoice. If it still shows as open, cancel it there. TireTutor has no cancel button for a payment link, so cancel the Square invoice in the Square Dashboard instead.
After payment, the work order records it under Payments.
