All card numbers are encrypted on disk with AES-256. Decryption keys are stored on separate machines. Stripe’s infrastructure for storing, decrypting, and transmitting card numbers runs in separate hosting infrastructure, and doesn’t share any credentials with Stripe’s primary services.

Payments will reach your bank account within 5 working days as long as you have at least £1 on your account balance after transactions fees.
Students usually approach local on-campus and surrounding venues and cafes to cut a deal for students. Retailers then decide on a code that they know and when student customers redeem they just show them the app at the counter/point of sale, and the retailer enters the code. This all has to be agreed on in advance with the shop so their staff know what to do.
On your society app, when you create an Event, you will see ‘Enable Redeem Code’, which allows you to enter a 6-character code (e.g. coffee) as agreed with your retailer/shop. App users can then redeem the freebie by passing their phone to the retailer/shop for them to type in the secret unique code. Once redeemed, the app user will not be able to claim the freebie again. Give it a go, test it all out and have a play on the functionality, it’s pretty intuitive and easy to use.
The benefit for the shop is that you can do marketing for them by promoting the offer (i.e. free coffee, free entry, discounted meal, discounted offer) to drive footfall with a call-to-action, deadline etc and awareness of where they are and allow them to increase their customer base with re-visits and upsells.
