How the 3leaf Payment Terminal App Works

The 3leaf Payment Terminal app is a fast, secure, and hardware-free way to accept contactless card payments — directly on your iPhone using Stripe Terminal and Apple’s Tap to Pay technology.

Unlike Stripe’s own app, where Tap to Pay is just one of many features — and full account access is exposed to whoever holds the phone — 3leaf Payment Terminal is purpose-built for front-line use. It keeps things simple, focused, and secure.

With a streamlined interface and fewer steps from launch to payment, 3leaf Payment Terminal is ideal for cafés, retail, events, and teams who need a no-fuss way to take payments — without handing over your Stripe dashboard.

  • 🔒 Restrict access: Let staff take payments — not control your business.
  • ⚡ Faster flow: Get from app launch to payment in seconds.
  • 🎯 Purpose-built: 100% focused on Tap to Pay. No clutter. No distractions.
  • 📱 Ready to go: Connect Stripe. Accept payments. Done.

Turn any modern iPhone into a sleek, secure payment terminal — with no extra hardware and no compromise on speed or simplicity.
