You can also see payments in your Up 'n go account and via any custom integrations that we may have in-place for you.

Do you get walkouts?

Walkouts are rare on Up 'n go. The vast majority of guests paying by phone are well-intentioned and pay their checks in full. Additionally, we believe it's the server's role to monitor tables and make sure guests pay before leaving, the same as if you only accept cash or credit card.

Chargebacks on Up 'n go are much less freequent than when servers collect payment. This is for a number of reasons, but one reason are fraud controls that we have built into our payment process.

Are these card not present transactions?

The credit card industry standards define a card present transaction as one that is either swipped, dipped, or tapped (via NFC). Therefore, QR code and web-based payments are always considered card not present transactions. We believe the value your restaurant and guests get from using Up 'n go far outweighs the small additional expense of card present transactions, which are a cost of doing business.

How does this compare to EMV (chip readers)?

When guests pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, or credit card using 3D Secure, restaurants are exempt from the fraud liability shift just like with chip card readers.

No, Up 'n go uses Cloud Connect, not Aloha Connect. Up 'n go does not directly require iber.
