View your Terminal on the mobile app

Get Crate Terminal on your phone — scan the QR code or grab the app from the App Store or Google Play, then reach your virtual account, transactions and WhatsApp alerts from anywhere.

🖥 Web 📱 Mobile

Crate Terminal turns a virtual account number into a point of sale you can run from your pocket. Once it's on your phone, you can take a transfer at a market stall, confirm a payment from a WhatsApp alert, and match it to an order — all without opening a laptop.

What you can do from the app

  • Copy your account details to share with a walk-in customer at checkout.
  • View your transaction charges so you always know the fee per transfer.
  • Manage WhatsApp numbers — add or remove the team members who get a ping on every successful payment.
  • See your terminal transactions as they land.

Before you start

Your terminal account is tied to your store. Install the app and sign in with the same email you use for Crate so it links to the right business. If you haven't activated a terminal yet, do that first from Terminal → Activate on the web dashboard.

Tip: WhatsApp alerts are the fastest way to confirm a payment in person — you'll see the amount land before the customer has put their phone away. Add your most-present staff member's number so a sale never stalls waiting for you.
