Payanywhere 3-in-1 Reader · Bluetooth
Turn your phone into a card reader.
A pocket-size Bluetooth reader that pairs with the Payanywhere app on an iPhone, Android phone or tablet. It takes chip, tap and swipe, and works with Edge, so your cash price and card price about 3.5% higher carry over.
Relax. LaVon handles the whole thing, and once you're live he's a call or text away. Not a call center.

A closer look.
How dual pricing works on it.
You ring the sale once. The Payanywhere app works out both totals from the cash price you entered, and the customer picks how to pay.
| Example | Cash price | Card price |
|---|---|---|
| Handmade mug | $24.00 | $24.84 |
| Lawn service | $60.00 | $62.10 |
| Farmers market basket | $18.50 | $19.15 |
- Tips: a tip is added to the total the customer chose.
- Receipts: the receipt shows the price the customer actually paid.
- Refunds: a refund goes back at the price the customer paid, card or cash.
- The notice: you post North's customer notice at the entrance and the register, and we show you where it goes for your state.

3-in-1 Reader questions.
Does the 3-in-1 Reader work with dual pricing?
Yes. It works with Edge, so the app shows the cash price and the card price, and the customer pays the one that matches how they pay.
Do I need a smartphone?
Yes, or a tablet. The reader pairs by Bluetooth with the Payanywhere app on iOS or Android.
Can it print receipts?
No. Customers get their receipt by text or email from the app.
Can it take PIN debit or EBT?
Check with LaVon for your setup. If PIN debit or EBT matters at that checkout, a Smart device with a PIN entry screen is usually the better choice.
Is the 3-in-1 Reader right for your counter?
Tell LaVon how you take payments now. He'll tell you whether the 3-in-1 Reader fits, what it costs each month.
