No QR code?
No problem.

The order that was paid before it was made

A customer calls your food truck at noon. They want their usual — pulled pork sandwich, side of slaw — ready for pickup at 12:30. You pull up OrangeTill, enter the total, tap Share, and text them a Bitcoin payment request. By the time you're putting the order together, their payment has confirmed on the blockchain.

They walk up at 12:32. No fumbling with a QR code. No waiting at the window. No line. Their food is bagged and waiting. They paid in Bitcoin before they even left the office.

That's the order-ahead use case — and it's just one of many ways merchants are using OrangeTill's Share button to get paid without being face-to-face.

How it works

When you generate a payment request in OrangeTill, the QR modal includes a Share button. Tapping it opens your phone's native share sheet — the same one you use to share links, photos, or contacts. From there, you can send the payment request via:

• iMessage or SMS
• Email
• AirDrop (to someone nearby)
• WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, or any messaging app on your device

The customer receives your wallet address and the exact crypto amount. They open their wallet app, paste the address, confirm the amount, and send. You confirm when it arrives in your wallet — then tap "Payment Received" to log it in OrangeTill.

1. Open OrangeTill and enter the dollar amount.
2. Select the cryptocurrency your customer will pay with.
3. Tap "Generate QR Code" — the payment screen appears.
4. Tap "Share" — your device's native share sheet opens.
5. Choose how to send it — iMessage, email, AirDrop, or any app.
6. Customer pays — they paste the address into their wallet app and send.
7. Confirm and log — once payment arrives in your wallet, tap "Payment Received."

Who's using it — and how

Remote payment capability turns OrangeTill from a point-of-sale tool into something any merchant can use, regardless of whether they have a storefront. Here are the use cases where it shines most.

Online sellers: Etsy, eBay, and Shopify

Remote payments open OrangeTill to the entire world of online selling. You don't need a storefront, and you don't need to be in the same room — or even the same state — as your customer.

Real estate: deposits, earnest money, and rent

Crypto is making inroads into real estate — and remote payment capability makes OrangeTill a practical tool for agents, brokers, and property managers who work with crypto-forward clients.

Parking: a use case hiding in plain sight

Here's one that most people don't think of — and it came from a real moment of frustration.

Sarah and Peter were heading to a Boston Celtics game. They'd arranged parking ahead of time through a private lot — paid in advance, spot held, no circling the block. Simple. But when Sarah thought about it on the drive down, she realized: there's no way to do this with crypto. The lot operator had no way to accept it. The technology gap was right there, in the most ordinary moment.

That's exactly the problem OrangeTill solves.

The note field is the key. OrangeTill's note field — the text box under the keypad — lets any identifying information travel alongside the payment. For parking, that's the vehicle details. For other reserved services it could be a name, a confirmation number, or a seat assignment. Every payment is logged in History with its note attached, so there's always a clean record.

This works for any pre-paid reservation scenario: boat slips, storage units, market vendor stalls, tailgate spaces, festival campsites, event seating. The merchant needs their phone, their wallet address, and a way to match payments to reservations. OrangeTill handles the rest.

As the US dollar moves toward digitization and tokenization, tools like OrangeTill become infrastructure — not novelties. The technology to pay for a parking spot with digital money already exists. What's been missing is a simple, affordable bridge for the merchant on the other side of that transaction. Now there is one.

Tips for getting remote payments right

• Use stablecoins for predictability. For remote requests where a few minutes might pass before the customer acts, USDC and USDT remove any ambiguity about the amount owed. The dollar value is locked in.
• Add a note to every request. OrangeTill's note field lets you tag the transaction — "Invoice #47," "Custom order — blue earrings," "Deposit for Dec 10." It shows up in your history and keeps your records clean at tax time.
• Don't log it until you see it. Just like at the counter — only tap "Payment Received" once you've confirmed the crypto arrived in your wallet. Blockchain confirmations typically take a few minutes.
• Set expectations with your customer. Let them know which cryptocurrency you're requesting, and give them a heads-up that confirmations can take a few minutes on busy networks. A quick "you'll see it show as pending first" saves a lot of follow-up texts.
• Export regularly. After remote transactions, export a CSV or Koinly file from OrangeTill's History tab. Good records now mean easy tax time later — and your accountant will thank you.

The QR code is a great tool at the counter. But it's not the only tool. The Share button turns every payment request into something you can send to anyone, anywhere — a text, an email, an AirDrop across the table at a closing. That's a fundamentally different kind of reach than most merchants expect from a Bitcoin POS.
