A pair at their wedding set up a tap-and-pay system for guests to contribute to their honeymoon fund. Chris Martin and Tasha White organized Britain’s inaugural contactless wedding reception, where attendees could easily transfer money to the couple’s account. Lopay, known for its low card processing fees, provided a customized QR code with a playful message encouraging guests to donate towards the couple’s trip.
Following their 14-year relationship, the couple jetted off to Mexico the next day, funded by the generous contributions received during their innovative wedding collection. Chris, 35, employed at Mercedes, expressed gratitude for the support, mentioning the overwhelming generosity of their guests without disclosing the total amount collected.
The unconventional approach of using a card reader by the bar was well-received by guests, as it eliminated the hassle of traditional gifts and enabled a seamless way to contribute towards the couple’s dream honeymoon. Chris and Tasha, parents to a seven-year-old daughter and a three-year-old son, celebrated their special day at Furtho Manor Farm in Milton Keynes.
Richard Carter, founder of Lopay, commended the success of the wedding arrangement, emphasizing the convenience it offered guests in gifting the couple without any inconvenience. With the rising trend of contactless payments, such initiatives at weddings could become popular at venues nationwide.
Lopay, a leading payment app in the UK, stands out for its competitive pricing and user-friendly features. Offering no fees on the initial £2000 transactions and starting payment processing at 0.79%, Lopay presents a cost-effective alternative to other payment processors like SumUp, Zettle, and Square. Users can further benefit from the free Expense and Reward Card to offset the 0.79% rate to 0%, making it an attractive option for businesses looking to streamline payment processes.
