What is Tap to Pay?
Tap to Pay lets you take in-person contactless payments using only your phone. It’s built into your Lopay app, so you can accept contactless debit and credit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay payments in only a few simple steps. Just present your phone to your customer and they can tap it with their payment card or mobile wallet like they would a card reader.
Tap to Pay means that everything you need to make a sale is already in your pocket. You can get set up in a few steps, and there’s no need to buy or manage new card readers.
Is there an additional fee?
There is an additional transaction fee for Tap to Pay transactions. This fee is due to additional processing fees for Tap to Pay transactions that unfortunately we can't avoid.
Can I still use other payment methods?
Yes. Once you've set up Tap to Pay you can still use other payment methods available with Lopay such as a card reader or payment links.
