Smiley Pay Limited helps teams verify people in seconds using a deliberate smile gesture — for employee attendance, event entry, gym memberships, and more. Payments are coming soon.
Many workplaces bought biometric hardware to stop buddy-punching. Smiley Pay does the same job with a camera on compatible hardware — yours or ours — and your people stop touching a shared sensor.
| Per location | Fingerprint terminal | Smiley Pay |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware | ~$1,000 reader, plus install | Compatible Android device — use yours or ask about ours |
| Enrollment | On-site, per finger, per device | About 10 seconds, once |
| Check-in time | Retries on dry or worn prints | About 2 seconds, no contact |
| Hygiene | Shared touch surface | Touch nothing |
| Records | Vendor export, per terminal | Check-in events in one simple admin view |
| Morale | — | Everyone smiles at work. Literally. |
The smile is the point: it's a deliberate gesture, so nobody is verified just by walking past a camera.
A person enrolls with a few quick photos at the terminal or from an enrollment link. That's it — about ten seconds, once.
At the door, kiosk, or front desk, the person looks at the terminal and deliberately smiles. The smile is the consent gesture — no smile, no check-in.
Verification completes in about two seconds. If a match is uncertain, pilot workflows can include fallback review by staff.
Every check-in or authentication event lands in a simple admin view — who, where, and when — for attendance, guest lists, and memberships.
Three applications are in early access today. The rest are on the roadmap.
Clock in and out with a smile. Cuts buddy-punching and shared-sensor queues.
FOR SHOPS · GYMS · CREWS · TEAMS Pilot this →Guests enroll ahead of time, then walk in on the night. No QR codes in glare.
FOR EVENT TEAMS · VENUES · DOORS Pilot this →Members check in at the desk without fobs or cards — just a smile at the terminal.
FOR GYMS · STUDIOS · CLUBS Pilot this →Authenticated entry for offices and facilities.
Lecture and lab attendance without paper sign-ins.
Front-desk verification for arrivals and amenities.
Recognize members and regulars at the counter.
Settle a payment with the same smile. In development.
We're piloting with teams like mechanic shops, venues, gyms, and local operators — places where attendance is money and queues are friction.
Replace the ~$1,000 fingerprint terminal with a smile at a compatible device. Fewer missed punches, less buddy-punching, and a check-in your team doesn't dread. Admins see every clock-in in one simple view.
Guests enroll when they RSVP, then walk straight in on the night. Door staff see names and status — nobody fumbles for a QR code in glare. A Luma integration is being explored for event check-ins; for pilots, we can plan guest-list workflows around Luma exports and imports while the direct integration is finalized.
Every plan includes the admin view, enrollment support, and help getting set up on compatible hardware.
Use compatible hardware or ask us about provided hardware. Per-person and per-event pricing gets cheaper at scale — reach out and we'll shape a plan around your size.
These are directions we're actively exploring with pilot partners — talk to us about what your stack needs.

Pushing check-in events into your CRM or systems via webhooks is on the integration roadmap. Available for pilot planning — tell us what you'd wire it to.
Smiley Payments will let the same smile settle a payment. We're focused on check-ins and authentication first, and building payments carefully.
Yes — and that's by design. The smile is the deliberate consent and anti-spoofing gesture. Nobody gets verified by simply walking past a camera; authentication only happens when a person chooses to smile at the terminal.
We store enrolled facial images and biometric templates to support reliable verification and model updates, plus authentication logs and verification records. We don't sell biometric information or use it for advertising. Our Biometric Information Policy covers collection, retention, and deletion in detail.
Biometric authentication is probabilistic — failed or incorrect matches can happen. We design pilot workflows so an uncertain match can include fallback review by staff rather than silently passing or failing anyone.
Android-compatible devices for now — iPads are not currently supported. We can set up on your compatible hardware or provide our own. Ask us about your setup before assuming compatibility.
Enrollment takes about 10 seconds, once. Verification takes about 2 seconds at the terminal. Good lighting and a stable connection help.
Not yet — Smiley Payments is coming soon. Today we're focused on employee check-ins, event check-ins, gym membership verification, and authentication.
